LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is a company that offers online training for software, design, and business skills. LinkedIn Learning is a vast library of high quality, current, and engaging video tutorials.

You can use your own equipment (computer, tablet or phone) or a UWE Bristol computer.

Apps are available for Apple iOS or Android devices.

Use the button at the top of this page, or type our shortened url www.uwe.ac.uk/trainingvideos into your browser and log in with your UWE Bristol username and password.

Alternatively, go to www.linkedin.com/learning, select 'Sign in' and enter 'uwe.ac.uk' in the 'Sign in through your organization or school' box.

Note for new graduates

Access to LinkedIn Learning is dependent on you having a UWE Bristol email account, which you will retain for approximately one year after course completion.

LinkedIn Learning is a separate learning experience platform to the popular LinkedIn careers and social media platform. However, you now have the option of connecting them if you want to.

You can connect or disconnect at any time.

Why might you want to connect these separate accounts?

Connecting can enable you to:

• Showcase your learning to potential employers by sharing Learning certificates to your public LinkedIn profile.
• Receive more personalised course recommendations based on your LinkedIn profile (such as your job title, skills, industry, and experience).
• Attend live instructor-hosted events and discover and join learning groups.

An individual's LinkedIn network will not see their Learning activity unless they choose to share it. They can choose to add completed courses to their profile, share courses with their network, and engage socially in courses.

Remember: you do not have to connect the accounts if you do not want to.

How do I connect my Learning account to a LinkedIn profile?

If you are using LinkedIn Learning for the first time, or if you have not used it for a while, you will be given the option of connecting accounts when you login.

• You can 'Connect LinkedIn account' or 'Skip for now' (if you do not want to connect).
• If you do not already have a LinkedIn social media account, you will be asked if you want to create one. You do not have to create an account to continue to access the Learning courses and videos as normal.

How do I disconnect my Learning account and LinkedIn profile?

If you want to disconnect your Learning account and LinkedIn Learning profile in the future then you can follow these steps.

• Once you are logged in you can search for videos by subject or software brand name, and then bookmark your favourite courses.
• There are clear instructions and helpful videos on how to use LinkedIn Learning including a short 'Take a Tour' option when you first log in. There is also a more extensive 'how to use LinkedIn Learning' training module in LinkedIn Learning.
• Exercise files allow you to test your progress, and you can print out 'certificates of completion' once you have completed a course.
• You can edit your profile details, including language and email preferences.
• If you download the mobile app, you can download courses to view later, when you don't have an internet connection - for example, on a long train journey.
