How Do I Create a Free LinkedIn Account?

You do not need a LinkedIn account to access and complete a learning pathway. Registering for a free LinkedIn provides you with exposure to job opportunities. It also allows you to earn credentials that are visible on your LinkedIn account and demonstrate proficiency in your newly acquired skills. Without the free LinkedIn account, you will not be able to post your earned credentials.
