DLA Comments:
“I think LinkedIn Learning is a great platform for filling
gaps in my CV. For example, I can build on my Excel skills
at my own pace. It’s also got a huge range of videos
focused on employability, such as Interview Tips.”
Maria, DLA
“I think LinkedIn Learning is important for professional
profile development. It gives you the opportunity to
work on skills that you might not get much exposure to
during your degree. For example, I completed a
Presentation Skills short course. I would like to spend
some time working on different skills outside my subject
area, such as coding, and LinkedIn Learning gives you
that chance.” Millie DLA
Course length
differs between
10 minutes and
12 hours
