        2. Learning Journey Progress is shown on the Learning Journey Enrollment table.

      2. A listing for the Enrollment will appear on the Learner's Learning Journey Enrollment Listing, on the My Information page.

        1. These can have a status of Enrolled. Completed, Overdue, or Expired. 

      How does Course Progress Inheritance work? 

      1. If a Learner is not enrolled in a Learning Journey, they will still be able to see any progress or completions they have made for Courses within that Journey.

      2. Once Enrolled, on their visit to the Journey Information page new Course Enrollments will be created for each Course in the Journey.

        1. This excludes Courses which have been completed within 6 months of the Journey Enrollment.

          1. Courses completed more than 6 months ago will receive a new Enrollment.

      2. After completing a Course, Learners can return to the Learning Journey Information page to see their updated Journey progress.

      3. Any Course Enrollments accessed through a Learning Journey, are not accessible to re-enroll in. 

      Learning Journey Completion

      1. Once all Courses attached to that Journey have been completed, the Learning Journey will have been completed.
