+## Role-based learning paths
+
+Sumo Logic Academy offers 8 role-based learning paths, one for each of the most common roles working in Sumo Logic. Instead of learning through a generic list of courses, each path gives you the exact course sequence built for your role, broken into milestones so there's always a next step to come back for as you grow into the platform. Every path is available two ways: as a guided, click-through path in the [Learning Portal](#how-do-i-access-the-learning-portal), and as a downloadable PDF handout you can save or share with your team.
+
+Follow the learning path built for your role, self-paced or in a free live session with an instructor, and work toward certification along the way.
+
+:::training Pick Your Path
+**Recommended:** Browse and start any of the 8 guided paths on the [Sumo Logic Learning Portal home page](https://learn.sumologic.com). You'll need to **[sign in to the learning portal first](#how-do-i-access-the-learning-portal)**.
