No - access to LinkedIn Learning is free for all recent graduates of the University of Hertfordshire.

You can access your LinkedIn Learning account whenever, wherever on desktop, mobile or tablet.

For the optimal LinkedIn Learning experience on desktop, LinkedIn Learning supports the current and previous two releases of the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer 11
• Microsoft Edge
• Firefox
• Safari
• Chrome
• Opera

Each time a new browser version is released, they begin supporting that version along with the last two supported versions.

Important: Using older browser versions can prevent you from accessing Learning, and some site features won't function as expected. Using the latest browsers also provide better encryption and privacy support.

Please review the current available version of your preferred browser and download the latest version to enjoy optimal site experience.

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with hundreds of millions of members, and growing rapidly. Lynda.com and LinkedIn learning are both online learning tools.

LinkedIn acquired Lynda.com in 2015 and have since created LinkedIn Learning, which merges the best parts of Lynda.com and LinkedIn to further the mission of helping professionals be better at what they do.

LinkedIn Learning combines all of Lynda.com’s high-quality courses with insights from LinkedIn data to provide you with personalized course recommendations based on your current job, skills, and what professionals like you are learning. With LinkedIn Learning, you’ll also get access to LinkedIn’s Premium Career features, like InMail, access to who’s viewed their profile, and competitive insights on other job applicants.

Careers and Employment have recently extended their graduate access to allow you to utilise our support for 3 years after your course ends; your LinkedIn Learning access will be aligned to this for the duration of our partnership with LinkedIn Learning.

All recent graduates are automatically sent an activation email to their email address registered with the University. Firstly, ensure that you meet the criteria for having access to LinkedIn Learning through the University. Secondly, please ensure you check all folders within your emails including any spam or junk folders.

If unable to locate the activation email then please get in contact with the University of Hertfordshire's Careers and Employment Office on +44 (0) 1707 284791.
