How do I link my personal and work accounts?
The process for linking your accounts depends on whether your company has already provided access or if you need to request access:
If your company has already given access:
- Log into your personal LinkedIn Learning account
- Click on your profile picture in the top right
- Select “Settings” from the dropdown menu
- Under “Account”, click “Add work account”
- Enter your corporate email and click “Add”
- Enter your login credentials for your work account
Your accounts are now linked! You will see both your personal and work learning in one place.
If you need to request access:
- Speak with your manager or HR department to request access
- Confirm that your company offers LinkedIn Learning accounts to employees
- Provide your personal LinkedIn Learning account email
- Your admin will send an email invite to connect your accounts
- Follow the instructions in the email to link your accounts
After following these steps, your personal and professional learning will be integrated into one LinkedIn Learning account.
What content do I get with a corporate LinkedIn Learning account?
With a corporate account, you gain access to:
- Standard LinkedIn Learning library (over 15,000+ courses)
- Custom content created exclusively for your company
- Learning paths focused on your company’s core skills
- Recommended courses based on your professional goals
- Compliance/required training assigned by your company
The customized content is designed to build the skills your organization needs most. Your personal recommendations also improve based on the skills your manager and leadership prioritize.
How does my company track my learning progress?
Your administrator has visibility into the progress of assigned learning paths and courses. They can track completion rates and time spent learning. This allows them to identify knowledge gaps and learning needs across the organization.
Managers also have visibility into individual team member’s learning. They can see your course assignments, progress, skills gained, and certificates earned. This allows them to provide support and coaching around learning.
As an employee, you will also have access to your own learning analytics. You can leverage these insights to showcase your skills and guide your professional development.
Can I still access my personal LinkedIn Learning account?
Yes, when you connect your LinkedIn Learning account to your company’s account, you still maintain full access to your personal account.
All of your course history, saved courses, learning paths, and preferences remain intact. You can switch between your personal learning and work learning through the account menu.
Linking accounts provides access to your corporate learning without limiting your personal account in any way.
What if I already have a premium personal account?
If you have already purchased a premium personal LinkedIn Learning account, you have a couple options when linking to your company’s account:
- Maintain both accounts separately – You can choose not to link them if you wish to keep your learning separate.
- Contact LinkedIn Learning support – They can refund the unused portion of your premium subscription. You can then link to your company’s free account.
- Keep your premium account and link to corporate account – You will have access to both personal and work learning in one place.
Reach out to LinkedIn Learning support directly if you need assistance managing access across two paid accounts.
