LINKEDIN LEARNING 

LinkedIn Learning is an online platform that helps you enhance your skills thanks to more than 13,000 video tutorials. These videos are led by experts and professionals, and cover a variety of subjects. From using Photoshop to becoming a project manager, to learning how to work more effectively on a team, navigate conflict and negotiate – LinkedIn Learning has something for everyone.

You can access LinkedIn Learning with your AUP email address by using this special link for AUP. 

Completion of a LinkedIn Learning certification (of your choice) can count as credit toward the Professional pillar of the Global Professional Skills Program (GPS). To get credit, complete the LinkedIn Learning certification, then go to your GPS path on AUP Engage (to find your path: click on your personal menu icon, top right of the screen, then click on “paths”). In the "Professional" pillar of the path, click on the item called “LinkedIn Learning Certification” and fill in the webform. 

LinkedIn Learning certifications can also be added to your personal LinkedIn profile. You will be prompted to add the certification to your profile when you complete the course. This is a great way to display your new credential and to keyword-optimize your profile.
