completed to your profile so that prospective employers can see some of the skills you have acquired.

Step 2: Collecting up the information you need


You need three pieces of information to add a certificate to your LinkedIn profile. You need:

 The name of the course

 The certificate number (Id)

 The web address (url) of the course

It will make things easier if you copy all this info into a text file, or note, before you start adding the
certificate to your LinkedIn profile.

Open the certificate you just downloaded:

6 Select, by dragging over it, the course title – shown highlighted in yellow above.

7 Copy this selected text and paste it into a note or text file

For example, my course name is: Getting Started as a LinkedIn Learning Admin

8 Select the Certificate Id, also shown highlighted at the bottom of the certificate

9 Copy the Id and paste it into the text file/note

For example, my Certificate Id is AQ2vaTNjmdbRyTrX2WweBNe0IKmD

10 Now go back to your LinkedIn Learning history and find the course again
11 Click on the course name to open the course

12 Click on the Share button (top right of course window) and choose Twitter
