Do I need a LinkedIn account to use LinkedIn Learning / Do I need to connect my LinkedIn account?

To access courses, you will need a LinkedIn Learning account. LinkedIn Learning accounts are not the same as LinkedIn accounts. 

If you choose to connect your LinkedIn Learning account to a LinkedIn profile,  you’ll be able to access your LinkedIn Learning history and record of course completions. It also provides you with exposure to job opportunities, and you can post your earned credentials.
