Lynda.com and LinkedIn have partnered to create an opportunity for everyone to learn, whenever and where ever you want! If you currently attend Durham College, this opportunity is FREE! Don't miss out!
WHAT IS LYNDA.COM
Are you looking to develop personally or professionally? Do you want to learn new skills but don’t know where to find them? Sick of watching YouTube videos trying to touch up your skills?
Lynda.com is the answer!
Lynda.com is a leading learning platform that helps anyone learn whatever they want, where ever they want! With over 6000 courses taught by leading industry experts, Lynda.com has everything you need to take your knowledge to the next level!
WHAT IS ON LYNDA
Lynda.com has video tutorials and courses to help anyone in any role develop software, technology, creative and business skills. Below is a picture of the large selection of courses to choose from.
WHERE CAN I USE LYNDA?
Lynda.com is available on mobile and computer. This means that learning is literally in your pocket. My favourite part about Lynda is that you can access it from anywhere. If you have to ride the bus to school, or have a few hours with nothing to do, Lynda.com has got you covered!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
If you are a student of Durham College, you currently have FREE access to Lynda.com. This is something that I feel should be taken advantage of. You do not want to miss out on the opportunity for free learning.
If you aren’t a student but are still interested in Lynda.com, you can gain access to all of the content by signing up for a free one month trial with $34.99/month after the trial period or $29.99/month if you bill annually. You are allowed to cancel at anytime.
WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU SIGN-UP?
When you signup for Lynda.com you gain access to the following:
· Access 6,000+ expert-led courses
· Cancel anytime, and the first month is FREE
· Earn a certificate when you complete a course
· Receive course recommendations tailored to you
· Use project files and quizzes to practice while you learn
· View courses anytime on your computer or phone
With all of these benefits, Lynda.com is a great way to learn all the skills you need to help you achieve the goals that you are trying to accomplish in your personal and professional life.
IS IT WORTH IT?
In my opinion, I believe that Lynda.com is 100% worth it. Whether you need to purchase it, or have free access, it is something that you must try. It is a very empowering feeling to have access to learning in your pocket all the time. I hope throughout my time as a LinkedIn Student Learning Ambassador, I can get some of you reading my posts to give it a try. You won't regret it!
Thank you so much for reading this. In my next post I will be explaining the steps to get you started with Lynda.com and how easy it is to gain access.
