Hello. In this article we will cover the ways you can track progress in Moodle.
To begin, you would need to be inside your Moodle Dashboard and in the course you plan on tracking the progress of:

Competencies review the level of understanding and general progress of students/learners in specific subjects and areas during the course of their learning. The most known type of education to employ this is Competency-based education(CBE) for short, whereas an individual can be tracked on specific skillsets(Example – AI Learning is a form of competency-based education under the Information Technology/Computer Science umbrella.)

Badges: Badges can be automatically or manually awarded to students as a form of motivation or to outline a trait a specific student has achieved during the course. A criteria of achievement can be set, which once completed can motivate the student and allow him to additionally excel.
It can easily be accessed by selecting the Badges button:
