How to add your course to LinkedIn profile

Boost your career prospects and gain recognition in your network

Did you know that you can showcase your qualification on your LinkedIn profile – the biggest global professional network?

All our qualifications are accredited degree-level equivalent courses, meaning that even if you only complete a single unit of a course like an Award Qualification, you will show up as a graduate level candidate in recruiters’ searches.

I love that I can see how I compare to other applicants in LinkedIn Jobs. I can tell straight away if I have a good chance of being invited for an interview.

Your alumni status (once added) is shown right at the top of your profile and also in the detailed Education section:

Adding your qualification can be done while you are studying too, you don’t need to wait to complete your course, as features are available to set a completion date in the future, showing prospective employers, recruiters, and your network your dedication to professional development.

If you are looking for work and have a premium LinkedIn subscription additional features let you see how you place against other applicants and their education and skills levels.

This gives a much better understanding of the job market, who else applies for the same job and your chances of success.

LinkedIn offers a 1 month free trial for Premium and we recommend you try this especially if you are looking for employment or curious about employment trends, job market and deeper insights into global professional networks.

 

We are not affiliated with LinkedIn Premium in any way and this recommendation has no commercial value to Sussex Business School.

Adding your course is easy.

Just add a new education section to your profile and start typing Sussex Business School Ltd. to select from the dropdown as your school.

Ideas for life – no more resolutions

Why most of us fail? If you are in the incredible 20% of people who hit their resolutions every year, congratulations! You are a rare breed 🙌🥳👏 For the rest of us, it is mostly a journey downwards into a spiral of failure, guilt, and frustration which circles back to thinking less of ourselves and hardly ever making us feel good or achieve anything meaningful. Most of us fail for three main reasons: Lack of clarity, Unreasonable expectations, and Lack of inspiration or passion.
