Need help using the Python programming language?
09/10/2026
We know some of our students are currently trying to learn Python, so we wanted to make you aware of some great LinkedIn Learning videos that can help.
But don’t you have to pay for LinkedIn Learning? No! Cranfield students and staff can access LinkedIn Learning free of charge to watch thousands of high-quality online training courses on technology, business, and creative skills led by experts in their field. You learn at your own pace and can gain recognised certificates for the courses you complete.
How do I access LinkedIn Learning?
- Visit the homepage and click sign in
- Enter your Cranfield University email address
- If prompted, select your account then enter your Cranfield password and authenticate is required.
- To complete set-up follow the on-screen prompts. You can connect your learning account with your LinkedIn profile – select your preferred option and continue.
Note: Connection to LinkedIn is optional. You do not need a LinkedIn profile to use LinkedIn Learning.
Once you have activated your LinkedIn Learning account, you can log in to LinkedIn Learning. You will also see the Learning icon on the top navigation bar in LinkedIn.
