The State Library's Microsoft LinkedIn Learning Academy Program funds Washingtonians' access to self-directed learning pathways to prepare for and obtain industry-recognized digital skills and software certification. Resources include Northstar Digital Literacy (basic computer skills), LinkedIn Learning (business, creative & tech), Microsoft Imagine Academy (Microsoft Office applications, entry-level IT & comuter science), and the free certifications described on our Learn, Practice, Certify Page. Certification is the best way to prove to an employer you have the software and IT skills they're looking for.
Northstar Digital Literacy defines the basic skills needed to use a computer and the internet in daily life, employment, and higher education. Online, self-guided assessments measure mastery of basic skills in each of 14 areas. Test takers can receive certificates and/or digital badges when they pass Northstar assessments in a proctored environment at a Northstar testing location. The Northstar assessment result page links to self-directed online learning practice for skills not yet mastered. Once test takers pass the Northstar assessments, which certify basic skills, they are qualified to pursue more advanced training like those offered by LinkedIn Learning and the Cisco Networking Academy, or industry-recognized certifications, described on our Learn, Practice, Certify page. Contact your local public library to request a Northstar Learner account, and ask about proctored exams. Learner accounts and exam proctoring are also available from the Washington State Library; please email your request to [email protected]. Please specify whether you're requesting a Northstar Learner account or information on Northstar Assessment proctoring, and include your home, school, or work zip code.
