Overall Satisfaction with lynda.com

We are using Lynda.com across the whole organization as a tool for our employees to develop themselves both profressionally and personally. The library of courses enables us to offer a wider variety of training videos than we would be able to develop on our own or purchase from a third party vendor (which would not include as many and would be much more expensive).
  • Variety of Courses
  • Volume of Courses
  • Easily Accessible
  • User Friendly
  • From a management perspective, it can be difficult to manage the users' rights as you purchase rights.
  • Some of the courses have been reported as boring or monotone. I think the addition of interactive videos in the future would be beneficial.
  • The positive impact has been on our employees. They are able to access these videos from anywhere.
  • Another positive is that Lynda.com is much more affordable than many other third party providers.
  • It also is extremely easy to use and links up with your Linkedin profile so you can update your skills after developing them.
Lynda.com is much better than its competitors. It tops the competition in terms of content depth, breadth, and clarity. The ability for employees to take a course on Project Management and on Photography allows the company to demonstrate how we want our employees to develop both professionally and personally. We want them to be well rounded individuals and lynda.com allows us to help them get there and show our commitment to them.
It is well suited for outside the classroom training. It has business related courses and non-related courses enabling a company to provide developmental opportunities for employees on a personal level (hobbies, interests, etc.).

It is less appropriate for classroom trainings as the videos are not always tailored towards policy enforcement and training exercises.
