I did include the proviso that the training system handles recording progress etc. As I read it, each station loads the training system from the server - which could be just serving read-ony files, or it could be serving read-only files plus a database, or it could be serving the files plus running a database and a central management program that co-ordinates the training.

If there's a need to store user-specific files, then you are correct that having just the one user across all the seats won't work.

But I don't think we've been given enough detail to say where on the spectrum this system sits.
