Tracks are a set of training courses or tracks that allow you to acquire certain expertise as you complete them successfully.
They may have other tracks, training courses or subjects as requirements and, in this case, you cannot register until you complete all of its requirements successfully.
The training courses that make up the track can also be defined as requirements for its other training courses.
You can define a pre-test for a track and indicate whether it will be a passing criterion, i.e. if the student can pass the track by taking only the pre-test, without having to watch all the content.
Just as the pre-test, you can also define a post-test for the track and a required score to pass it. When you do not define a post-test for the track, after finishing all its items, the student completes the registration successfully.
A track can be associated to a class as a topic item, in that case, the parameterization settings defined in the class take precedence.
Tracks may also include a reaction evaluation – such as a satisfaction survey – and a certificate, to be issued to the student when they finish the course successfully.

Cost

For example: if the sum of the cost of the track items is 50, you can consider that the cost of the track will be 30, since all these items will be performed at one go within the track, as if they were a “package”.

If there are requirements that have not been successfully completed by the student, they will be displayed and the registration will not be requested, since the student is required to complete them first.
As a student is effectively registered in a track, they are also automatically registered in all the training courses that make it up, except for the training courses that have requirements. In those training courses, the student will only be automatically registered if they meet all requirements. If they do not, they need to complete the requirements first and then request registration in them manually.
