No, you do not need an existing LinkedIn profile to access LinkedIn Learning. However, you may choose to create a personal LinkedIn profile, or link to your existing LinkedIn profile:

• Creating a personal LinkedIn profile provides you with a more personalized learning experience, because it recommends courses based on what other professionals like you are watching. As a LinkedIn member, you also have the ability to control what others can view from your profile via the Settings & Privacy page.
• Linking to your profile will result in a more personalized learning experience based on the information provided in your existing profile.
