One-Year Review of LinkedIn Learning (10+ Courses)

Twelve (12!) courses later during this pandemic, I will share with you my LinkedIn Learning courses review in this video.
If you're looking to up-skill yourself, LinkedIn Learning is likely one of your choices as far as online learning platforms go. In this video, I will share with you five reasons why it might be useful to you - as well as three reasons why you might want to look elsewhere. I took twelve courses in the last ten months so you don't have to (or to encourage you to do the same thing).
You can check out the list of LinkedIn Learning courses I took on my LinkedIn profile:

LinkedIn Learning is NOT a free platform. It will cost $29.99 a month, which is why I made this video to guide you with your online learning platform decision.
Are you planning to sign up for LinkedIn Learning?
Are there other platforms that you believe are better?
Let me know, and leave a comment below!
I hope this video helps you, and may you learn better today!
Update: As of March 5, 2021, I've taken 24 courses on LinkedIn Learning. My opinions in this video have not changed since doubling the experience on the platform.

Hi Jason, thanks for putting this video out. Anyone who’s checked LI in the past few months has surely been prompted to use their free month just to try out LinkedIn learning, so this definitely hits home with anyone who’s interested in continued learning. As a follow up , could you list the courses you attended that you found to be the most useful?

I'm not surprised that you didn't find that much value in the shorter courses. Lots of people want "quick fixes" but the fact is that in order to become good at something, or knowledgeable at something, you've got to work for it and spend a lot of time on it.

Here is one way to look at it. Some people watch TV for hours. Some people play games for hours. What’s wrong with learning and clicking through a online courses?

Learning paths! These are the good, lengthy courses I like. They are a bundle of courses all related to a topic and they go from basic to advanced. They give you a certificate per course and a certificate after completing the learning path. I am doing an excel learning path that goes from basic to very badass. I already knew the basics so I watched that part without paying much attention; but I once started the advanced formulas I immediately knew I had a lot to learn.

This video is extremely well made and exactly the perfect resource I was looking for! Super helpful!

Anybody considering LinkedIn learning (especially in the US & particularly if you’re in an area with a robust library system) some libraries offer access to LinkedIn learning free for library cardholders. Personally I know Boston Public Library & Charleston County Library (South Carolina) do. Check your local library, or if they don’t have it then see if you can pay to join an outside library system for access. Good luck to everyone looking to improve your career skills.

The three things (drawback) you mentioned about LinkedIn Learning are true. But if you have paid version, I'd go for Learning Paths. That makes LinkedIn Learning a badass. I am I still love LinkedIn Learning particularly their Learning Paths.
