FAQ
Two details worth knowing up front
How do LinkedIn Learning credits work?
The HR guide notes that continuing education credit rules vary by certifying organization. In some cases learners must watch all videos; in others they may also need to pass an exam or meet provider-specific requirements.
Does LinkedIn Learning report credits for me?
No. The UT HR page says LinkedIn Learning does not report continuing education credits to outside organizations on a learner’s behalf, so users should plan to manage that reporting themselves where needed.
Support
