EDIT: After making revisions to my code, it works as it should. I'm new to C++ so I'm sure that it wont look right to some of you and that you may find errors or things that aren't 'ethical'. Please do let me know if there is anything I can improve on within this program.

cin >> beginner, intermediate, advanced;
The commas in this cin statement do not do exactly what you want them to do. In this expression, only the input for cin >> beginner is taken, while the other 2 variables are completely ignored.
one way to accept multiple inputs in a single statement is by chaining them:
cin >> beginner >> intermediate >> advanced;
Alternatively, you can have the cin statement on multiple lines:
cin >> beginner;
cin >> intermediate;
cin >> advanced;
EDIT: based in your comments, you a looking for something like:
string choice;
cout << "Enter your choice here: ";
cin >> choice // no need to use getline() as you only need one word as input
if (choice == "beginner)
// do stuff
else if (choice == "intermediate")
// do stuff
else if (choice == "advanced")
// do stuff
else
cout << "Invalid choice";
You need to replicate this over all the other instances where you are asking the user to pick one of 3 options.
