Observer and Author Tracks
==========================

A **track** is an ordered set of lessons on one topic. |APPNAME| has two:
the **Observer Track**, for people who record hand-hygiene observations,
and the **Author Track**, for people who build custom audits and surveys.
Both tracks work the same way — only the lessons differ.

To open a track, go to :blue:`Training` in the sidebar and choose
:blue:`Observer Track` or :blue:`Author Track`, or click its card on the
:ref:`Overview<training.overview>` page.

   list of lessons, with completed lessons ticked.

At the top of the page a progress bar shows how many lessons you have
finished — for example, ``3 of 8 lessons`` on the left and ``38%`` on the
right.

Below the bar is the list of lessons in order. Each lesson shows:

* a number, or a green tick once the lesson is complete;
* the lesson title;
* the estimated reading time, such as ``~5 min``, with ``· completed``
  added once you have finished it.

Click any lesson to open it in the :ref:`lesson reader<training.lesson>`.
You can take the lessons in any order, but they are numbered in the
sequence we recommend. When every lesson shows a green tick, the track is
complete.
