Linkedin Learning is available to all current faculty, staff and students. You can log in to Linkedin Learning from any web browser or from the Linkedin Learning mobile app. 

First-Time Login to Linkedin Learning

The first time you log in to Linkedin Learning, you will have the option to either create a Linkedin account and link it to your Learing account or link an existing Linkedin Learning account to your Learning account. There are benefits to linking your accounts and we would recommend you do so, but this is not a requirement to use the platform.

2. Enter your Bowdoin email address and password.

4. Locate and click on the Linkedin Learning application in the login portal.
