Overview

LinkedIn Learning is an online platform offering video courses led by industry experts in areas such as software, creative, business, and professional development. Courses are organized into four main categories: Business, Creative, Technology, and Certifications.

Employees and students can access LinkedIn Learning by signing in with their Central Piedmont credentials. 

Accessing LinkedIn Learning
