How to use LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) for free?

Question

I heard some people use Lynda.com resources for free. Could someone let me know how does it work?

Answer 1

If you have a university or college email address, the following photos show you how to sign in Lynda.com using that account.

1. Click on Sign in on the top menu to see the following page:
   
   
    
2. Click on Sign in with Lynda, and then write your email address of your school or college (for example *Emails are not allowed*)
   
   
    
3. It will redirect you to the portal of your organization and after that, you can create a free account on Lynda to use all the contents for free as long as you can sign in this way.
4. Some city libraries' LinkedIn Learning:
   • City of Toronto
   • City of Richmond Hill

Answer 2

Lynda.com has agreements with many colleges and universities around the world to let the students use their resources for free. In addition to that, if you live in GTA in Ontario, you can take free public library card in your city and use their contents for free. I guess it might be available in other public libraries around the world and you just need to ask from your librarian about it. 

For example, if you live in Toronto, you can get your free public library card anywhere in the city by showing an ID such as your driver license that shows you are a resident. Now, by having your Library Card Number and Library Card PIN number, you have access all the courses on Lynda.com for free. Please take a look at this page that shows Lynda.com as one of the resources you can use.
