View course proficiency levels in Learning

Last updated: 1 year ago

As an admin or learner, you may want to see a course proficiency level to shape your L&D content to your employees' experience levels or your own professional growth. The below table defines LinkedIn Learning proficiency levels that you can find in the Details section of each course.

Level Description
General Content that applies to all audiences. Used primarily for non-teaching content, i.e., interviews and Influencer titles. Also used for select business skills courses on topics that apply across roles/job titles/skill levels (e.g., time management)..
Beginner Content that assumes little or no prior experience with this technology or skill. Beginner courses typically move methodically, with lots of hand holding, especially for Tools courses.
Beginner + Intermediate Content that starts with Beginner content and takes the learner far enough on the journey that it includes Intermediate content as well. It is used only for courses that contain both Beginner and Intermediate content.
Intermediate Content that assumes the learner has taken the equivalent of a "Learn the Basics" course t and builds on this knowledge; for a tool/technology course this means we assume the learner is familiar with the basic functions and interface of the technology.
Advanced Content that assumes a significant prior proficiency and build on this knowledge. Technology courses require detailed explanations of how to apply in complex scenarios or how to integrate multiple technologies. LinkedIn Learning has fairly advanced courses and extraordinarily advanced courses. Resist the impulse to reserve Advanced only for only extraordinarily advanced titles.
