Education

5 of 7 days a week are filled with Core Courses that usually take up 8-10 hours a day. Extended Courses and Missions mostly take place on the weekend and evenings, if Students want to gather further qualifications.

Study fees are paid at the start of each year, for that starting year, in one installment. Requests for different payment plans may be filed with the Bureaucracy Wing as early as during Initiation.

Examination
There is no fixed duration of education, although Tenno without prior knowledge usually take around 10 years (starting as low as age 6) to complete the education. Tests in each Core Course are conducted twice a year. If a student believes themself skilled enough (advised by their mentor and teachers), they may apply for a Test. All Core Course Tests must be completed successfully to achieve graduation. Upon succeeding in the examination for a course, you are granted Course Test Completion (CTC) for that Course. You don’t need to attend Courses for which you hold CTC.

CTCs lapse after 2 years to ensure graduates are up to current standards in all Core Courses. This means that all crew members go through tests for all their held CTCs every two years, to retain their qualifications. Attending courses for which you hold a CTC, to prepare for subsequent tests, is voluntary and the Tenno’s own responsibilities. It’s common practice for Teachers (especially Mentors) to keep track of ungraduated student’s CTCs and help them prepare for re-tests so that they can build the routine while growing up.
