When you save a LinkedIn Learning course, it gets added to your LinkedIn Learning library so you can easily access it later. Your saved courses do not disappear – they remain in your library indefinitely so you can come back and watch them again anytime.
Finding Your Saved LinkedIn Learning Courses
There are a few ways to access the LinkedIn Learning courses you have saved to your library:
- On the LinkedIn Learning homepage, look for the “My Learning” section on the right side. This will show you the courses you are currently taking as well as your entire library of saved courses.
- Click on the “My Learning” icon in the top right corner. This will take you to your full library where you can see all your saved courses.
- From your profile, go to the “Learning” tab and select “View your learning” to see your library.
So in summary, your saved courses are stored in your LinkedIn Learning library, which you can access through the homepage, top menu, or your profile. They do not disappear – you can return to view your saved courses at any time.
Re-accessing Saved Courses
Once you have saved a LinkedIn Learning course, here is how you can start viewing it again:
- Go to your LinkedIn Learning library using one of the methods described above.
- Locate the saved course you want to take again. You may need to use the search bar or filter options if you have many saved courses.
- Click on the course title to open it.
- Click “Start” to begin the course from the beginning, or click on any individual video to jump directly to that lesson.
- The course will resume exactly where you left off previously. All your progress is saved.
So starting a saved course again is very straightforward – just navigate to your library, find the course, and click start! All of your previous progress is retained.
Tips for Managing Saved Courses
Here are some tips to help you manage and get the most value from your LinkedIn Learning saved courses:
- Use the “Archived” feature – This lets you archive courses you have completed and do not need regular access to. Archived courses can still be accessed from your library at any time.
- Create playlists – Group related courses into playlists so you can easily find and watch courses on the same topic.
- Leave feedback – Let the instructor know what you liked or suggestions for improvement to help refine the course.
- Take notes – Use LinkedIn Learning’s notes feature to save key takeaways that you can refer back to later.
- Consider retaking courses – For complex topics, periodically retaking a course can help reinforce your knowledge.
- Remove outdated courses – Evaluate your library for courses that are outdated and purge them occasionally.
Leveraging features like archiving, playlists, and notes will help you get the most from your ever-growing LinkedIn Learning library!
