Does the word "following" work in this context?

I've been following a course on LinkedIn that walks through the process of building an online shop.


If I'm using the word "following" I think it's unclear whether I'm taking the course or simply looking at taking it. Am I right? Would it be better to use the word "taking" instead?


I've been taking a course on LinkedIn that walks though the process of building an online shop.


Also, I'm not sure if "walks through" works in this context.

walks through ~ walks you through ~ guides you through ~ leads you through ~ directs you through ("impersonal you")

Any of those is OK. Also, more succinctly, without impersonal you
