'''CORE''' are designed to give ''brand new'' EVE players an introduction to a broad range of game mechanics, offering a solid foundation of information to build on throughout your EVE career. These are the fundamental skills and knowledge needed to play the game effectively. CORE classes are designed to be easily understandable, commonly include both slides and in-game screen shares, and usually take 30–45 minutes to cover (not including Q&A). A related practical is sometimes delivered as a follow-up to the class, so that pilots can put the skills taught into action.

While CORE classes are the classes most regularly taught in the University, members offer classes on a wide range of more advanced or more niche topics too. Such classes will not be tagged with "[CORE]" in their announcement posts and on the calendar, and can take a wider variety of forms, including mostly-practical exercises and fleets. Although CORE classes are on more fundamental topics, no one is required to attend some first, before attending other classes; there is no formal "curriculum".
