Do the lessons have to be done in order?

The order is the recommendation, not a gate: every lesson stands alone and awards XP on the Academy ladder. The path lists them in the sequence a learner picking this goal would actually run them.

Each step links to its lesson page, and every lesson pairs with a hands-on mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. Reading is free; running missions requires a free Tapeboard account.
