## Your Home Dashboard

When you log in, you land on the **Home** page. This is your central hub for tracking what needs your attention.

The Home page has two tabs:

* **My tasks** (default) - Shows courses with upcoming deadlines and a countdown timer
* **My courses** - Quick overview of your enrolled courses

Click **Let's Start!** on any task card to jump directly into that course.

## Finding Courses

There are two ways courses appear in your account:

### Self-enrollment

Browse available courses yourself:

1. Click **Explore** in the sidebar
2. Browse public courses your organization offers
3. Click **Enroll Now** on any course that interests you
4. Confirm your enrollment in the popup

After enrolling, you have immediate access to start learning.

### Assigned courses

Your manager or admin may enroll you in required training. When this happens:

* The course appears in **My Courses**
* You receive an in-app notification
* You receive an email confirmation

No action needed on your part - the course is ready to start.

## Taking a Course

The typical learning flow:

1. **Course View** - See the course overview, chapters, and your progress percentage
2. **Lessons** - Read content, view images, and interact with embedded documents
3. **Assessments** - Test your knowledge with quizzes
4. **Completion** - When you finish all content, a congratulations message appears

Use the sidebar navigation to move between lessons, or click **Continue Learning** to pick up where you left off.
