Welcome to the EVE University Class Library. All of the classes in the archive were originally put forth by instructors, and the actual recordings were made by volunteers. Without those volunteers the Class Library would not be possible. Volunteers are people like you! Next time you're in a class, consider recording it for the library, and give something back to the community!
If you are interested in teaching a class or for a list of the syllabus for the classes, please visit; Syllabus Library
Following the lectures mentioned above, it is recommended that new capsuleers continue with lectures on Core Mechanics to form a solid foundation.
The Class Level: indicator is a relative measure of how advanced the class is; lectures on core mechanics are relatively simple with class levels varying between 1 to 3, while more advanced lectures such as Nullsec Alliance Politics or Wormhole PvP tactics may be more suitable for capsuleers with some experience.

This comprehensive 46-part video series by Seamus Donohue, EVE University Professor, covers everything that a new pilot in EVE needs to know to survive their entry into New Eden. A superlative 7-hour step-by-step tutorial for making a good start in EVE - highly recommended to all rookie capsuleers.
An introduction to methods for improving character attributes: neural remapping, implants and booster drugs, as well as an overview for using clones effectively.
This introductory class describes many of the money-making options that many EVE players pursue, and provides some advice about which ISK-earning careers might be the best fit for each player's personality and playing style.
In EVE, your capacitor is life! This class explains how ship capacitors work, how you can improve their performance, and how you can become their master - instead of the other way around.
This class will cover the basic gun types and mechanics impacting gun effectiveness in EvE. As the mechanics involve some math, I will try to explain the concepts using some graphs
Google Docs - Slideshow presented during Walt maisir's lecture on 2011.03.04
Drones can be a powerful part of any capsuleer's inventory, but only if the pilot knows how to use them effectively. This class provides a general introduction to combat drones.
Building upon the fundamentals introduced in Drones 101, this follow-up class explores advanced drones and related topics. Specifically, the course explores the capabilities of specialized drones for extended electronic warfare, combat utility, and logistics, and describes techniques for using these advanced drones effectively.
Advantages and Disadvantages of each drone size. Bandwidth explained. Drones vs ships. Drone Upgrades. Use in combat. Logistic drone use. Tech 2 drone variants.
The directional scanner (not to be confused with probe-based scanning) is a powerful, but badly-documented, tool. In PvP situations you can use it to detect and investigate incoming enemies or to get the jump on potential targets. In some PvE situations it is still a potential tool to use to protect yourself, particularly in w-space.
Using the in-game map for quick, easy to access intel about what is going on "right now", as well as over the last day or so. How to use the map to plan current operations, or spot long-term trends that you can exploit in other ways.
Boosters, what they are, what they do, and how to use them effectively. How to smuggle them. Techniques you can use to smuggle contraband. Production of boosters and what you'll need to get started.
Introduction to the Amarr race and philosophy. General strengths and weaknesses of the Amarr. Essential piloting skills and recommended fittings. Covers Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Battleships.

This class covers a basic introduction to Gallente tech 1 ships, from starter ship to battleship, and including industrials, describing the essential strengths and weaknesses of each. It also includes a summary of essential skills required to fly Gallente ships effectively.
With EVE Online's Apocrypha expansion came an entire new class of ship, the Strategic Cruiser. Rather than simply improving existing ships, like CCP did with the step from T1 to T2 ships. As such Strategic Cruisers are modular ships (reverse engineered from ancient Sleeper and Talocan components), that allow the pilot to design the ship to his or her wishes, and the mission at hand.
This class covers missioning in general and how to do it profitably, including strategies on how ot get your standings with NPCs high enough to have access to such profitable missions.
What standings are used for. Types of standings. How to look up your standings. How to set standings towards others. Faction standings interactions. How to increase agent/corp standings. How to increase faction standings.
How standard uni fleets function; using insurance and medical clones; killmails, lossmails and the killboard; basic characteristics of small gang PvP and solo PvP; who unistas are allowed to shoot and where we're allowed to shoot them; different kinds of pirate; highsec, lowsec, nullsec and w-space as PvP environments. The Q&A afterwards includes a discussion of PvP bookmarks.
Emergency PvP
Class Level:
Instructor(s): Dierdra Vaal, and ended by Wolf Vanberg
Overheating wrings better performance for a short time from your modules at the risk of burning them out. It's an important technique for small gang and solo PvP. This class discusses: how to overheat, what overheating does, heat damage and how to repair it, and combat uses for overheating.
This class explaines what combat probing is and how it differs from exploration. It will talk about the needed equipment, ships, skills and the different techniques that can be used.
How war declarations are issued. Where to find them. What to do when the Uni prepares for war. How to contribute in PvP. Using the Killboard. EVE University reimbursement policies.

Special covert warfare guest course. Practical class covering the use of Force Recons, Stealth Bombers, and Black Ops ships in specialized covert fleets.
This course covers all aspects of ECM, the Caldari Electronic Warfare method of choice. It covers ship fittings, modules, skills, and tactics for the six primary Caldari ECM-based ships in Eve (the Widow, due to it's non-ECM primary role, is not covered in this course).
This is a guide to flying all logistics ships with a focus on how they work in non-highsec warfare. The goal of a logistics ship is to provide friendly ships with extended support which they would normally be unable to provide on their own. The class used a slideshow presentation to visualize some aspects of the class - this presentation can be found here in PDF form. Here
What is factional warfare? Why should I consider joining? Available rewards and consequences. Requirements to join. Things to consider before joining. Joining and quitting Factional Warfare.
This guest lecture by Nerevar Dwemor of null security space based Ascent Network corporation talks about his years of experience in 0.0 - lots of interesting Q&A about the practical aspects of living in nulsec.
The Lecture is aimed at pilots who want to understand the historic development of the EVE meta-game (or simply want to know a bit of eve history), to help them understand the reasons for future game changes and help predict what the enemy will field tomorrow - rather than yesterday. The lecture is mainly focused on non-highsec warfare.
As some of you move through the university, many of you will probably find yourself wanting to experience life outside of empire. This will be an informal lecture on life in nullsec and a discussion on making the transition.
Le Soltueur, former mercenary and pirate shares his experience on the Merc business. He covers basic PVP and Basic FC'ing as well as talks about the ins and outs of the Merc business and how it's changed. There is also a question and answer session as well
Warp disruption bubbles; how they work, how to use them, and how to avoid them. Followed by a general Q&A session covering wormholes, nullsec, and Agony Unleashed.

How wormholes work and how to use that to your advantage, differences between unknown space and known space, dangers of unknown space, Sleepers, wormhole logistics, how to run a wormhole site, how to not die in wormholes.
Unistas sometimes form fleets to go into wormhole space for fun and profit. These fleets need scouts; people who can find the profit and watch their backs while they go get the profit. But, in the depths of what is effectively Null Security space, wormhole fleets without a scout are at considerable risk of being ambushed.
PvP in Wormholes
Class Level:
Instructor(s): Panel discussion moderated by Eikelhaven
