Penn State faculty, staff, and students who want to obtain their certificate for completing a course on LinkedIn Learning.
Introduction
When you finish a course on LinkedIn Learning (LIL), you can access a certificate that proves completion. You can download and print your certificate from the LIL web page.
LinkedIn Learning also allows you to show off your learning by adding the certificate to your LinkedIn profile and sharing it with your network. You must have your LinkedIn account connected to your LinkedIn Learning account to share a certificate with your network (see the Links section below for step-by-step instructions for connecting accounts).
