If you meet these qualifications, and wish to become a Teacher, complete this application for an interview with the [[Training Manager|Teaching Manager]]. If accepted, you will then become an Associate Teacher. This is basically a trial period for a new teacher. You will receive access to the Teacher's Lounge forum and our in-game chat channel, where you will find a lot of useful information and helpful advice.


As an Associate Teacher, you will be required to submit class notes to the Training Manager or Education Director for approval, before you schedule a class. The class notes should describe both the structure and contents of the class you plan to teach. We always leave the choice of topic up to the teacher, but we do have a [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Category:Syllabi standard curriculum] (collection of class topics) that always need teaching. Once your class notes have been approved, you can schedule the class on a time and date convenient for you. We prefer that one or more experienced teachers sit in on the class of Associate Teachers, although if none are available, a class can be held without them.


If you meet these qualifications, and wish to become a Teacher, your first step will be to become a Probationary Teacher. This is basically a trial period for a new teacher.

This forum contains guides for new teachers, class syllabi and a lot of other useful information.
After an Associate Teacher has taught three classes, he or she will become a full Teacher. Teachers do not need to have their class notes approved, and can schedule classes as they so desire without prior review or approval.
