LinkedIn Learning courses and employer recognition

matthew_rice

I have recently started a course on LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com). I was wondering if any employers actually recognise these courses when looking at potential employees? I would have thought that they would prefer accredited courses?

LinkedIn Learning courses are not currently recognised by any Australia-based employers. This may change in the future, but for now, employers are not likely to view LinkedIn Learning courses as being equivalent to accredited qualifications or training.

Yes, LinkedIn Learning courses are recognised by employers. Here are a few points that may be helpful:

LinkedIn Learning is part of LinkedIn, which is a site that is used by employers and businesses to connect with potential employees.
LinkedIn Learning courses are taught by industry experts and feature high-quality content.
Many LinkedIn Learning courses are aligned with industry certifications, which are recognised by employers.
