Most likely you are reading this article, because you have been given the responsibilities to create and assign training material, and to track learner progress. To help you get started as a Training Manager in your academy, you'll find several links to articles below.
The Workspaces
In your default academy configuration, there are four main workspaces: Learner, Social, Team, and Academy. They can be found on the left-hand side of each page in your academy.
A workspace is only available to those given the permission to view its options, as well as how your academy is configured: the workspaces you see may be different from what others see.
Workspaces are meant to help you focus on specific types of tasks.
As a Training Manager, focusing on tasks Training Managers would do, you'll be mostly concentrating your time within the Team and Academy Workspaces. In the Academy Workspace, you'll be able to create training material. In the Team Workspace, you'll be able to the assign and track it.

Event Visibility Across Workspaces
As a Training Manager, you may notice that the events you can see differ between the Team Workspace and the Academy Workspace.
This is expected and depends on your role permissions. For example, you may have full visibility of events in the Team Workspace → Instructor-Led Training page, while seeing a more limited set in the Academy Workspace → Training Admin area, which focuses on event management capabilities.
For a detailed explanation of why this happens and how permissions affect your view, see Understanding Event Visibility Differences.
