Learning Paths are several courses organized to take a learner from the foundation level of a topic, through to more advanced skills. When you select a particular Learning Path, you will be brought to that Learning Path's page, where you can see the number of items in that path, as well as the time it would take to complete the path. Upon completion of a Learning Path, you'll have earned a certificate of completion. 

Watch this short video to learn more on how to navigate a learning path:
