(BUSINESS WIRE) - Pluralsight, a global leader in online training for technology professionals, today announced the addition of Direct-to-Profile Certifications for LinkedIn, allowing learners to instantly publish completed courses to their professional profiles.

This new integrated feature allows Pluralsight users to easily publish their completed course certification to their LinkedIn profiles by simply clicking the new “Add to profile” button in their Pluralsight transcript.
