Progress and progression
Both progress and progression are nouns and they get the same meanings.
Could anybody tell me how to differentiate them?
For example:
1. They made slow progress/progression towards the maintaintop.
2. The boy has made great progress/progression this year.
Are both of them correct?
Are they the same?
Could anybody help me with it?
Many thanks in advance.

Yes. it is true.And add comment:
we use progress (uncount noun) when our aim is process of gradually improving, getting nearer to achievement or completing something. like:
