If you want to find courses in another language, you need to search for keyword/s in that language to find relevant courses e.g. tecnológico. You can then limit your search by the appropriate language. Currently are courses available in Spanish, Portuguese, simplified Chinese, French, Japanese and German.

Learning paths are collections created by LinkedIn Learning to bring together courses covering a range of skills needed on a specific topic or career track. Note: Certificates of completion are only available for courses that you complete, and not for learning paths.

The video below shows you how to explore and use the learning paths.

For lists of all learning paths in a specific category select from the links below:

Exercise Files can be accessed via the Overview beneath the video screen. They are listed with other resources under the heading RELATED TO THIS COURSE. They are provided in zip folders which can be downloaded. Please note that this feature is only available for courses that come with exercise files.

The Notebook  which also appears below the video screen, allows you to add notes to a course while viewing it. The notes will be saved at the point of time in the video when you added it. They will stay there until you delete them.

The Transcript for each course is accessible next to the Notebook below the video screen.

Please note: If you want the courses/videos in a certain order, you need to add them to the collection in that order. 

How to share a collection

Once in your Collections page, click Share to create a link. Collections can be shared with LinkedIn users, TAFE NSW students and staff or limited to be visible only to you.

Content creators: If you wish to use course links to LinkedIn Learning content in your Moodle/Sakai course or in a Libguide, use the linking instructions for creating authenticated SSO links. Authenticated SSO links with the authentication prefix or suffix will link directly to to the course after logging in with the TAFE NSW username and password. 

When you complete a LinkedIn Learning course, you will automatically get a personalised Certificate of completion.

These certificates can be downloaded from the:

• Course page of the completed course via the More dropdown menu.
• Learning history - available from the Me drop down menu or My Learning in the top bar 
• At the Learning history, the Certificate of Completion is available from the More dropdown menu at each completed course.

The Learning history contains a complete list of your completed courses including certificates.

Please note that unless you have a personal LinkedIn learning account as well as your TAFE NSW account, you won't be able to access your certificates once you leave TAFE NSW.
