Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com)

My organisation uses LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) to provide us courses and certifications for career growth, necessary compliance certifications and product expertise. I work in Sales and to me the most important aspect of LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) is that it provides short but comprehensive courses that explains a technical topic with ease and efficiency

Pros

  • Short courses
  • Multiple courses and topics to choose from
  • good recommendations

Cons

  • Trying to buy and cancel subscription is not easy
  • To check bills of our past payments you have to do multiple things to get there
  • They don't provide a dashboard with all current courses and progress
  • It gave me courses to understand cross functional terms and processes
  • recommendation engine is on point
  • These are short courses and very to the point and doesn't spend time providing unnecessary info
Well compared to other competitors the payment method is far more streamlined for Indian audiences, especially against Coursera. The courses provided are very business oriented and keep in mind the limited time availability with working professionals. It keeps the content short and precise.

I just found that other platforms are more hands on and LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) is mainly theory focused.

Would you buy LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) again?

Yes

It is well suited if you want to choose a course just for your understanding sake, it does not cover everything comprehensively. It has less hands-on projects and more of just theory lectures. But they do provide good examples and sometimes the instructors are good orators as well so they are very easy to understand.
