LinkedIn Learning Pricing at a Glance (2026)

There are four ways into LinkedIn Learning, and only one of them has a price LinkedIn prints on a public page. This table sets out who each route is for and what LinkedIn actually publishes about it.

How Much Does LinkedIn Learning Cost for an Individual?

For years the answer was a simple monthly or annual LinkedIn Learning subscription, and older guides, including an earlier version of this one, still quote those plans. They no longer exist. LinkedIn’s subscription overview states that LinkedIn Learning “does not offer one-off, a la carte purchases of individual courses, nor does it offer individual LinkedIn Learning subscriptions.” It names only two ways in: an individual subscription, which it defines as LinkedIn Premium, or a license from your organisation.

So the real individual price of LinkedIn Learning is the price of LinkedIn Premium. LinkedIn confirms that Premium subscriptions come with free access to LinkedIn Learning, and the Premium Career page lists access to over 25,000 courses next to features such as five InMail credits a month. You are paying for a job-search and networking bundle that happens to include a course library.

Why we don’t print a Premium price

LinkedIn does not show Premium prices on a public page. Its plan-comparison page sends you to a checkout that asks you to sign in first, and the number it then shows depends on your country, your currency and the plan you pick. A figure copied from another site may be out of date, from another country, or a promotional rate that won’t apply to you. We would rather tell you how to see your own price than print one that may not match your checkout.

To check it yourself:

• Sign in to LinkedIn and open the Premium page from the “Try Premium” link on your profile or homepage.
• Compare the plans LinkedIn offers you and note which include LinkedIn Learning.
• Check whether you’re eligible for the one-month free trial; LinkedIn says the trial is available only to eligible members.
• Look at both monthly and annual billing before you commit, and set a reminder for the day before the trial ends.

One detail catches out sales teams: LinkedIn’s help centre says that among Sales Navigator plans, only Sales Navigator Core includes LinkedIn Learning. Advanced and Advanced Plus users do not get it, even though those plans cost more.

Can You Still Buy a Single LinkedIn Learning Course?

No. This is the change that matters most if you only wanted one course. Older guides, including an earlier version of this page, quoted single courses at $25 to $40 to keep. LinkedIn now says plainly that it does not sell individual courses, and that “to access LinkedIn Learning courses, you must have an active subscription.”

If you need one specific skill and nothing else, that pushes you toward two options. You can use a Premium free trial and finish the course inside the month, or you can buy the equivalent course on a platform that still sells courses one at a time. Udemy lists individual courses at $19.99 to $199.99 before its frequent sales, and you keep lifetime access to what you buy.

What a LinkedIn Learning Subscription Includes

Every route gives you the same core library, but the tools around it change with the plan. Based on LinkedIn’s plan comparison and Teams page:

The certificates deserve a word of caution. A LinkedIn Learning certificate of completion shows you finished a course; it is not an accredited qualification. What gives the library more weight is the exam-prep content: LinkedIn lists professional certificates from providers such as Microsoft and Zendesk, and courses that count toward continuing education credits for some professional bodies. If a credential is the goal, check with the body that awards it that the specific course counts before you rely on it.

LinkedIn Learning for Teams: $379.88 per License per Year

This is the one LinkedIn Learning price LinkedIn publishes, and it answers most of the “LinkedIn Learning for business” searches we see. The Teams product page lists $379.88 USD per seat per year for organisations that need 20 or fewer licenses. LinkedIn’s Teams purchase FAQ fills in the rules:

• Minimum and maximum order: you can buy between 2 and 20 licenses online; the checkout won’t let you proceed outside that range.
• Room to grow: after the first purchase you can add licenses up to a maximum of 50 per account.
• Admins pay too: the person managing the account also needs a license.
• Free trial: one month, with a reminder email seven days before it ends. If you don’t cancel, billing starts automatically.
• Payment: credit card or PayPal.

Because the price is per license per year, the maths is easy to run. At $379.88 a seat, each learner costs about $31.66 a month:

Two things are worth weighing before you buy. First, the Teams price is for the admin layer as much as the courses: LinkedIn lists learning paths you can assign, a basic insights dashboard showing your team’s progress, and course sharing between colleagues. If you don’t need to track anyone, individual Premium plans may suit a very small team. Second, remember to count the admin license when you budget, since a manager who never takes a course still occupies a seat.

To cancel during the trial, LinkedIn’s instructions are to open the LinkedIn Learning admin centre, choose Payments and purchases from the Me menu, go to Purchases and select Cancel Subscription.

LinkedIn Learning Enterprise and Corporate Pricing

Above the Teams limits, LinkedIn stops publishing prices. Its compare-plans page offers two enterprise products, and both carry only a “Contact sales” button:

• LinkedIn Learning for organisations that want to build skills at scale: the full catalogue, professional certificates and certification prep, AI-powered coaching and role-play, and integrations with LMS and LXP systems.
• LinkedIn Learning Career Hub, which adds talent-management tools: career-path exploration, AI-generated development plans, an internal job board, and HRIS integrations.

Any enterprise price you see quoted online is somebody’s estimate or somebody’s contract, not a list price. What you pay will depend on what you ask for, so it helps to go into the sales conversation with answers to a few questions: how many people need access in year one, whether you need Career Hub or just the course library, which LMS or HR systems it has to connect to, and how long a contract you’re willing to sign. If you have fewer than 50 learners, compare the quote with the published Teams price first.

LinkedIn also sells separate versions for higher education, government agencies and public libraries, each through its sales team.

How to Get LinkedIn Learning for Free

LinkedIn Learning isn’t free, but a lot of people use it without paying because someone else holds the license. These are the routes that actually work, in rough order of how many people can use them:

1. Your public library

LinkedIn sells LinkedIn Learning for Libraries, and many library systems buy it for their members. If yours does, you sign in through the library with your membership details and use the catalogue at no cost. Search your library’s online resources page for “LinkedIn Learning”. Library access is a separate version of the product, so check which features your library’s version includes before you rely on it for certificates.

2. Your university or college

Students regularly search for a LinkedIn Learning student price. LinkedIn doesn’t publish one, but it does sell LinkedIn Learning to universities for their students, faculty and staff, so your institution may already give you access. Check your IT services or library portal before you pay for Premium.

3. Your employer

If your company holds an enterprise or Teams license, ask your L&D or HR team to add you. LinkedIn’s help centre suggests checking your intranet or asking IT or HR, who usually know who administers it.

4. A Premium or Teams free trial

Both trials last one month. The Premium trial is limited to eligible members, and both convert to a paid subscription automatically if you don’t cancel. A month is enough to finish two or three short courses if you plan them in advance; our best LinkedIn Learning courses guide is a good place to pick them.

Refunds, Cancellation and Billing

LinkedIn’s refund policy is narrower than many subscription services’, so read it before you subscribe. The key points:

• The 7-day window: Premium subscriptions, and LinkedIn names LinkedIn Learning among them, “may be refundable within 7 days from the date the subscription is charged without Premium usage.” If you’ve used Premium in that time, don’t count on a refund, and a previous refund can affect eligibility.
• EU residents: if you buy for yourself rather than a business, you’re entitled to a full refund within 14 days of the subscription starting. That clock starts on the first day of a free trial.
• Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands: LinkedIn cancels with one month’s notice and refunds the unused part of the subscription (in Germany, excluding the first year of an annual plan).
• iPhone and iPad purchases: if you subscribed through the LinkedIn iOS app, refunds come from Apple, not LinkedIn.
• What cancelling does: your Premium features, including InMail, stay active until the end of the billing cycle you’ve paid for.

The practical rule is to cancel before a trial converts rather than relying on a refund afterwards. LinkedIn bills automatically when the trial ends.

How Many Courses Do You Actually Get?

A cost is only meaningful against what it buys, and here LinkedIn is inconsistent with itself. We read six LinkedIn pages on the same day and found six different catalogue sizes:

The larger, more recent figures agree that the catalogue is about 25,000 courses, and the 26,300 figure counts Learning Paths as well as courses. The smaller numbers look like marketing copy that hasn’t been updated, although the library version may genuinely carry a narrower catalogue. If catalogue size decides it for you, ask your library or LinkedIn’s sales team what your specific license includes.

Is LinkedIn Learning Worth the Cost?

Because LinkedIn Learning now comes bundled with Premium, the real question is whether you want Premium. If you’re job hunting and would pay for Premium’s InMail credits and applicant insights anyway, the course library is a genuine bonus and easily worth having. If you’d be paying for Premium only to take courses, you’re buying features you won’t use.

On content, LinkedIn Learning is strongest for short, well-produced workplace courses: Excel, presentations, management, project management and popular software. It is also more credential-friendly than its reputation suggests: LinkedIn says more than 2,000 of its courses prepare you for over 120 outside credentials, including certifications, continuing education units and academic credits. Where it falls short is depth. A developer who wants long, hands-on technical paths, or a career changer who wants a university-backed certificate, will usually get more for their money elsewhere. Our full LinkedIn Learning review covers the content in more detail.

For a team, the published $379.88 per seat is easier to judge. It makes sense when you will actually assign courses and look at the progress dashboard. If you mainly want to give people a library to browse, check first whether your local library system already offers it to them free.

LinkedIn Learning vs Learning-Only Alternatives on Price

If you want a course subscription without paying for a networking bundle, these are the main alternatives and what each charges on its own pricing page, read on 15 September 2026:

Coursera Plus is the closest like-for-like if what you want from LinkedIn Learning is a broad library with certificates that employers recognise: at $399 a year it works out to about $33 a month, and it includes professional certificates from companies such as Google and IBM. Pluralsight is the better buy for technical depth, and Udemy is the cheapest route when you need one course rather than a library.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does LinkedIn Learning cost per month?

For an individual there is no separate LinkedIn Learning monthly price any more. LinkedIn Learning comes with a LinkedIn Premium plan, and LinkedIn shows the Premium price only after you sign in, because it varies by country and by plan. For businesses, LinkedIn publishes one price: the Teams plan costs $379.88 per license per year, which works out to about $31.66 per seat per month.

Can I still buy an individual LinkedIn Learning subscription?

No. LinkedIn’s help centre says LinkedIn Learning does not offer individual LinkedIn Learning subscriptions. The subscription that most resembles one is LinkedIn Premium, which includes LinkedIn Learning alongside Premium’s job-search and messaging features.

Can I buy a single LinkedIn Learning course?

No. LinkedIn states that LinkedIn Learning does not offer one-off, a la carte purchases of individual courses. You need an active subscription, either your own Premium plan or a license from an employer, school, library or government agency.

How much is LinkedIn Learning for a business?

Teams of 2 to 20 people can buy LinkedIn Learning for Teams online at $379.88 per license per year, with a one-month free trial. An account can grow to 50 licenses. Larger organisations, and anyone who wants LinkedIn Learning Career Hub or LMS integrations, have to contact LinkedIn sales for a quote, because enterprise pricing is not published.

Is LinkedIn Learning free?

Not on its own, but there are legitimate ways to use it without paying: the one-month free trial of LinkedIn Premium for eligible members, the one-month Teams trial, or a license from your public library, university or employer, all of which LinkedIn sells as institutional products.

Does LinkedIn Premium include LinkedIn Learning?

Yes. LinkedIn says LinkedIn Premium subscriptions include access to LinkedIn Learning. One exception is worth knowing: among Sales Navigator plans, only Sales Navigator Core includes LinkedIn Learning; Advanced and Advanced Plus do not.

Can I get a refund on LinkedIn Learning?

Sometimes. LinkedIn’s refund policy says Premium subscriptions, including LinkedIn Learning, may be refundable within 7 days of the charge if you have not used Premium in that time, and a previous refund can affect eligibility. EU residents buying for themselves get a 14-day window, and subscriptions bought through the iOS app are refunded by Apple, not LinkedIn.

How many courses does LinkedIn Learning have?

LinkedIn quotes several figures. Its LinkedIn Learning homepage says over 26,300 courses and Learning Paths, its Premium and business pages say 25,000+, and older product pages still say 22,000+ or 18,000+. The honest reading is roughly 25,000 courses today, with the smaller numbers left over from earlier years.
