[2022] 750+ Hours of Free LinkedIn Learning Courses with Free Certification
We’ve compiled 750+ hours of LinkedIn Learning resources including free certificates
In response to the pandemic, many providers offered free certificates and online learning resources. At Class Central, we compiled these into a list that we updated regularly. Our list grew to ~100 resources and has been viewed by one million learners.
LinkedIn Learning was one of these resources. In June 2020, Microsoft made 14 learning paths on LinkedIn Learning available for free. At the time, we shared the list of learning paths with free certificates with Class Central’s learners, which also proved to be very popular.
So, I decided to find out if there were more free LinkedIn Learning certificates available. I looked through LinkedIn Learning’s catalog of 9,000+ courses and 425 learning paths (which consist of a set of bundled courses) and identified the LinkedIn courses available for free and that offer free certificates.
Here’s what I found: 160 courses and 22 learning paths offer free LinkedIn certificates, as well has 320 free courses for a total of 750+ hours of free online learning. You can find the comprehensive lists below. Click on a link to jump to the corresponding section.

- LinkedIn Learning Courses with Free Certification
- LinkedIn Learning Free Courses
- LinkedIn Learning Free Mini-courses
We’re not sure how long these courses will offer free certificates. However, we plan to keep an eye on LinkedIn Learning and update the list continuously. In fact, the list initially had 350 hours of free resources. Now, it’s 750 hours. So, stay tuned! And if you find more free certificates or courses, or if you notice an error in the list, please tell us in the comments.
You may also want to have a look at some of our other compilations of free certificates and courses, including:

- 1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely Free
- 600+ Free Google Certifications
Save big on the digital skills you need to land the job! How to earn a LinkedIn Learning Free Certification
To earn a certificate for an individual course, watch all videos and take the quizzes. In courses, you’ll need to take an exam. Once you’re done, go to the “Related to this course” section below the video (on desktop) and click on “Show all”.
A window will pop up with certificates available for the course (see example above). Click on “Download” to get your LinkedIn Learning certificate. Some courses also offer Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits, in addition to the LinkedIn Learning certificate.
To earn a certificate for a learning path, you need to complete all the path’s courses. Then, you’ll be able to download the learning path certificate.

Marwa
Heartfelt thanks. That’s genuinely amazing.
bich
not really because we students use to be able to get all the content free thru lynda, so really we get less with more. thanks microsoft, you corpnazis.
as
how to applythis
d. jenner
lynda.com wasn’t free. It’s not now as part of LinkedIn, but it wasn’t free before so not much has changed.
Xander Vaughn
Yes, you could get it free through most large libraries, now you can’t. I won’t be paying for a subscription anymore and I will stop recommending it to people. In this time of people needing to train for employment, this is just gouging.
Poor morals and poor business practices.
Rohini R Reddy
I hope that it will be very helpful for students especially for the students who are at poor background
Lazarus Jamison
what courses are offered free with certificate on LinkedIn
? .because of majority of them they do ask to pay something .

zzz
where? it just says 1 month free trial.
Dhawal Shah
You can ignore the notification and directly click on the videos to access it. You might have to be logged in first.
Amna
It would be great if we could have a list of free courses with certificates from Linkedin Learning as it is really difficult to find out by opening each course manually o ly to see that either we need to buy the course or to download the certificate we need to have Linkedin Premium.
Sifiso Dhlamini
Thank you so much for your generosity. This goes a long way for someone like me in Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland)
ZZZ
The problem with these courses is that all of them appear to be partially functional.
That you do not have access to the ability to ask a question, you may reply is all. Also unknown is if the certificates will be available. I’ve not gotten that far.
Suparn Patra
They don’t send certificate. You may need to download it manually.
Click on certificates from course page (Given you’re logged in) and click on download.
Alexandra Goicoechea
When I click on the courses I get to the course page, but it says “click here for free month”. How do you get it free until next summer? Want to do the Graphic Design path
Suparn Patra
You will get free certificate once you finish the course. But you need to manually download it.
You need not to start free trial for free course, free certificate courses/paths.
Muhammad Fakrul Islam
Alexandra Goicoechea, first sign up on linkedin.com, then click on ‘Become a Graphic Designer’ link.
Tarun S. Kuckian
Hi,
I am am assistant professor teaching in an undergrad college in Mumbai, India. I want to recommend some of these free courses to my students. I wanted to confirm whether the students will get certificate on completing the course? Also will there be any examinations?
Reagards,
Tarun S. Kuckian
Suparn Patra
Yes, They offer free certificate of completion after finishing individual course (Need to manually download it) and for paths, all courses needs to be finished.
For some courses, student needs to give exam in order to get another certificate of completion with mentioned “continuing professional education credit” in it.
Note: Apart from this, there are many courses for which watching content is free but in order to download certificate premium subscription is needed or free trial. And of course there are many courses for which watching video content also requires paid subscription or free trial one (initial a few preview videos are available for free)
Muhammad Fakrul Islam
‘Become a Software Developer’ learning path is still working. Thank you so much for your help.
Dhawal Shah
Great. But seems like it might be based on the region you are in.
For me, the first course of “Become a Software Developer” learning path doesn’t offer a free certificate even though all the course videos are free.
Aliaa
I am already enrolling in Become a Software Developer learning path , but now I don’t have time for it. Will it remain free for me after March?
Dhawal Shah
Unfortunately, I am not really sure how long these will be free.
Michelle
Dhawal, maybe you should give it another go. I’ve come across a few errors when accessing the courses.
I had to switch browsers sometimes. There were some videos I couldn’t watch in Firefox that I could access in Chrome.
Occasionally, the videos wouldn’t be marked as complete.
There was also a course on Google Ads that seemed to have some problems with links, so I had to access the videos manually, and gave it a few tries. I’m still working on it, actually.
For me, the course on SQL in the Software Developer track was archived while I was taking the learning path and I had to click on the videos directly to go around the one-month trial (they weren’t actually locked).
Dr Aejaz Husain
Thanks a lot for sharing so useful resources
Rujin
Thank you thank you!!!
Aliaa
I am already enrolling in Become a Software Developer learning path , but now I don’t have time for it. Will it remain free for me after March?
Elçin
I have spent all my day by analyzing this page reading and clicking every page. This work is amazing.The Question is I am in search of Certificates in German Language.
How can I find finance or economy related certificates but I need it for Germany.And Want to have the courses in German Language.
This is my first time in your web site.So sorry for this perhaps it is a stupid question.
Hector
Hello Suparn: Thank you for compiling the list, I do appreciate it. However, I cannot get around the ‘Start my free month’ to do any of the free courses you identified. Like Alexandra, how can I get around this issue to not activate the free month and saving it for course (s) that are for pay? Cheers
Michelle
This might be a bit late, but Hector, for SOME of these courses you can get around activating the free month. For example, for the SQL course in the Software Developer track, you just click on the first video while logged in. It simply starts and it’s marked as completed after you watch it.
However, if you see a lock next to the video, it means you can’t access it without starting the free month, which means that you won’t be able to get a free certificate.
Rig Ved
The leadership course doesn’t seem to be free any longer
Rig Ved
Also People Analytics
Suparn Patra
Thanks for letting us know.
I’ve removed the courses that are no longer completely free.
Rowan Randle
Good Morning / Evening where you may find yourself self in the world. I completed some courses for free without registration for the month to test whether I could before signing up for the free month.
I know after covid we all need to study more to upgrade our skills to be relevant in the work environment. To earn a salary. I in my humble opinion I think we need a radical tactical shift in our thinking and our modus operandi.
The world as we knew it has completely done a 360 degree , so we need to adapt accordingly.
I am upgrading my skillset with a strategy that would enable me to be more relevant to current market’s.
Chandu
It looks like they are extending these free courses till end of 2021
this i learn from today media updates

Hey, thanks for the (huge) list of free courses. I’ll definitely look into them.
My question is, what are they worth in the eyes of employers?
More specifically the Microsoft certificates. I can imagine employers won’t value these LinkedIn certificates at the same level as actual MS Certificates?

B. L. Ethridge, PhD, M.P.Adm.
This is such an awesome resource! I have a Ph.D. and M.P.Adm./M.P.A., but feel I need a project management certification and training to expand the industries I can apply in. Also, I have been a research and program/project manager, but never in title; this information made it possible for me to get a much-needed LinkedIn certification to announce to potential employers and collaborators that my project management skills are more broadly applicable and demonstrably rooted in both education and experience. Thank you!
