Create your LinkedIn Learning account

You'll need to sign in with your Uni email username and password, and your LinkedIn Learning account will be automatically created the first time you access the service.  For more guidance, scroll further down the page.

 

 


Connecting your LinkedIn profile during account creation

During the account creation stage, you will be able to connect your personal LinkedIn account with your new LinkedIn Learning account. This is entirely optional and a standard LinkedIn account is not required in order to use LinkedIn Learning. Before deciding whether or not to connect, you can read the advantages and disadvantages of connecting your accounts in the FAQ section.
