My new favorite guilty pleasure on the Internet is Linked Learning. I have taken 14 courses in the last 3 months, most of which lead to me receiving a Digital Marketing Specialist Certification, a 26 hour series of courses that covers a pretty comprehensive range of topics. They call it a Learning Path, and it included video courses on social media marketing, introductory graphic design, Photoshop, and a LOT more.
The best part is the cost. LinkedIn Learning is included in a LinkedIn Premium subscription, with options as low as $30 a month. You then have unlimited access to all of the curriculum in the form of videos with supporting materials and workbooks. It's a great value, surpassed only by the HubSpot Academy that has a lot of the same marketing topics at no charge.
The subject matter isn't just limited to marketing, that just happens to be my focus as I brush up on skills for my freelance work. It also offers courses on personal development, time management, drawing, writing, software. There's no long term commitment, you can cancel your Premium subscription at any time.
Once you complete a course successfully, it gets posted to your LinkedIn profile, and that never expires. I also recently finished a course on Adobe Premiere Pro that offered follow along hands on training as many of their software offerings do. Often there are multiple courses on the same subject; some in depth, and some just skimming the surface.
I'm looking forward to learning a thing or two.
