How to get a Free Lynda.com Account

Lynda.com is an educational website that consists of thousands of learning resources. Also currently lynda.com is migrating to LinkedIn learning.

so don’t be surprised when I use these two terms interchangeably. as it stands now the contents on LinkedIn learning are the same as the content on lynda.com and new users are being redirected to register LinkedIn learning instead of directly registering at lynda.com as well users with lynda.com account can also log into LinkedIn learning and enjoy the same resources as stated by their FAQs.
