If you have a private account with LinkedIn Learning, it does not impact your account with our organization. If you have a private account with LinkedIn Learning, you may choose to keep your private account and transfer activity between the accounts or cancel your private account. If you have further questions about this, please see the help center within LinkedIn Learning.
It is possible to have two LiL accounts (private and work) if you choose and would also be able to share learning history from one LiL account to another, if you choose. If you only want to use the account provided by your organization, you will need to cancel your private accounts. Before you cancel, please visit the Help pages on LinkedIn Learning for information and instructions on whether/how you can transfer their learning history, as well as all other information regarding cancellation of account (billing, refund policy, etc.). These pages will always have the most up-to-date information and allow you to contact customer service should you have questions.
