What is the Mentor Program?

The E-UNI Mentor Program: helping new players in EVE

Becoming a mentor is the first step on the path to becoming an Eve University Instructor. To apply you must have been a member of Eve University for at least 6-8 weeks (preferably 8-12), be proficient in one or more standard career fields, be fluent in the fundamentals listed below, and have the time available to teach your students. The more regular your schedule, the easier it will be to match students with you. Ideally a mentor will have at least one 1-2 hour block of time on weekdays during which there is at least an even chance of finding you online. In addition to teaching, mentors are responsible for providing short weekly updates on the progress of their students.

To apply to be a Mentor, please follow this link and fill out the web form.
