What advice do you have for others considering LinkedIn Learning?

The benefits I experience from LinkedIn Learning's course updates in keeping up with industry trends are substantial. The AI-powered customization and personalization that have come up help me keep my basics strong so far. I have been able to continue in Process Excellence for a long time. I started my career in that field and despite moving across industries, from oil and gas for five years to investments and now core banking, the core part of it is still process-related. LinkedIn Learning has helped me understand the commonalities from a framework standpoint, regardless of the differences in products and services offered by different organizations. From a career standpoint, it has definitely helped me move up the ladder. I did not have to spend much money on certifications, and I could learn at my own pace since all the courses are self-paced. Completing my learning targets brings a gratifying feel-good factor, keeping me motivated. Thus, LinkedIn Learning has helped me maintain a grasp of the fundamentals, whether technology changes or AI emerges. I engage with LinkedIn Learning regularly, and I have tracked improvements in my skills over time. Data analytics has been trending recently, and AI is coupled with that terminology everywhere. I did not want to just follow the current trend; I sought to understand what companies are building. It is not just about implementing AI but doing so while keeping a keen check on processes. The small, bite-sized videos suggested on my profile, often as I search for keywords, have been useful. Each video is typically only a minute or two long, which helps me consume content in shorter time frames. While I would not say it keeps me relevant, it keeps me informed about upcoming topics, enabling me to know what I need to revisit and allowing me to save key learning activities in my library. I am aware of the pricing and licensing of LinkedIn Learning as an individual customer. I know I need to spend around two thousand Indian Rupees per month to avail myself of a three-month course when discounts are available; otherwise, it is a monthly subscription. There are industries that may purchase an entire year's access to all the available content on LinkedIn Learning. For example, Fidelity International provided all employees access to the entire LinkedIn Learning library, making it limitless for all employees. While that is good, not all industries can afford such extensive access to the library. I cannot comment on LinkedIn Learning's affordability in comparison to industry prices, as I am not privy to what other L&D tools charge on the market. However, I can say that in comparison to other platforms such as Udemy or Coursera, LinkedIn Learning seems to offer more value because my professional profile is already there. There is greater visibility and awareness regarding steps I need to take, which might sometimes be lacking on other platforms due to their selective course offerings. LinkedIn Learning's recommendations are more beneficial since they align with my existing professional profile. I am not entirely sure how LinkedIn Learning is deployed in my current company, but I recall that Fidelity International had it on the cloud. I believe they obtained it directly from LinkedIn without storing it on any data lakes. I think I might be misinformed about LinkedIn Learning being on-premises in my current company. I previously assumed they had subscribed to the entire library of courses available on LinkedIn Learning, which led me to think it was on the cloud. I have used some documentation and guides for LinkedIn Learning courses. Every time I take up a course, there are downloadable datasets and practice worksheets related to the course material, which have been helpful. For example, when I did the design thinking course, there were short notes made available by the author for additional access. These materials help me practice hands-on, further reinforcing my learning. I would rate this review a ten out of ten.

The impact of real-world project examples on my learning experience is evident in the initial training I started with LinkedIn Learning about QuickBooks. The training is quite clear and concise, helping me apply the knowledge I gained through training in my job tasks. When I face challenges, I just go back and open the videos to revise that part and check whether I'm doing it right or not. It helps in practical life, and I strongly recommend it for international students who don't have much experience in software and soft skills, as they can build their soft skills in their resumes through LinkedIn Learning. Interactive quizzes have significantly helped reinforce my learning outcomes because after watching several videos for each training chapter, I need to take a quiz. This quiz helps me remember all those videos from beginning to end. If I skip the quizzes after just watching the videos, I may forget what I learned, but with the quiz, it recalls everything, helping build long-term memory so I will remember it forever. I have experienced great benefits from LinkedIn Learning's course updates in keeping up with industry trends, as it provides knowledge and practical application of that knowledge. It gives the impression to employers that I'm the kind of person who is self-driven and capable of learning tasks by myself, without needing guidance from anyone else. This has many benefits for students, professionals, and anyone looking to improve their skill set. I think the stability and reliability of LinkedIn Learning are crucial since it is used by many students and professionals. It should provide reliable resources and avoid any unreliable knowledge that is not verified, as instructors and trainings should be reviewed. The knowledge transferred to students and professionals will have a direct impact on their careers. I find that the products I used are reliable, trustworthy, and delivered in a professional manner, being based on the job market. I rate LinkedIn Learning a nine out of ten overall. I give it a nine because although it's really good, some trainings are very complex and could be made simpler. Everything else is really good. Whenever I find spare time, I spend it on LinkedIn Learning.

I would advise others considering LinkedIn Learning to take a shot at it and give it a try to see how they respond to it. I would give LinkedIn Learning about an eight on a scale of one to 10, where 10 is the best.

I engage with LinkedIn Learning in spurts. I've done at least two certifications in the last two months, and my plan is to go on it again heavily starting in November for certification for knowledge upgrade around my security certification. My goal is there's a goal, and then there's the life that happens that prevents me from doing it as often as I'd like.The users are a technical team and business analysts that work in my unit. I rate LinkedIn Learning a 9 out of 10.

The interactive quizzes in LinkedIn Learning are very effective. Until you clear the quiz, you don't receive the certificate. This requirement ensures you must review or study the topic again to fully understand it. I engage with LinkedIn Learning weekly when possible, though professional commitments can make this difficult. I aim to complete at least one segment per month. I track improvement in my skills through self-implementation. If I identify an area needing improvement, I apply what I've learned in my next meeting. Regarding pricing and licensing, LinkedIn Learning is fairly priced. However, consideration could be given to reducing prices for the APAC region, third world countries, and Africa, where pharmaceutical and other segments are improving. I have been working in my current field for more than 27 years. My overall rating for LinkedIn Learning is 8 out of 10.

I am a LinkedIn Learning author, which means I can be unbiased about it. There are certain things I do and do not prefer, but I want to make sure that folks know I am not an independent user. I have contacted support regarding these courses from LinkedIn Learning, sometimes on behalf of folks that have taken my course. They had difficulties downloading handouts or accessing materials that were supposed to be complimentary to the course. There is a customer service component to lead people to the right link so they can download the appropriate materials. My overall rating for LinkedIn Learning is 8 out of 10.
