Some trainings or tests will mandate this - and many students also attend these chambers (both ways!) for fun. |

While almost any class that is a Major can be a Minor too, some classes can ''only'' be Minors. These Special Minors often teach skills far outside of adventuring - after all, having a town's hotshot defense attorney also be an Amorcul-trained Bard is a great marketing tool! |

The "Adventurer" class is not recommended ''per se'' - instead, the player devises the theme their Adventurer character points would center around, and makes up a relevant Minor (and possibly district related to that minor) for it. (Any character points not going directly to the theme get handwaved as elective courses, seminars, or the like.) |

To reach each level, a student must first declare their Major and Minor for that level, then completes a number of training sessions equal to their Level per class (sessions can vary in length, but are often longer at higher levels - an on-level job counts as a training session for both courses), completes a series of written exams (some classes have more than others, but all have at least one) and/or projects, and finally take their Finals - a series of practical exams (as trainings, often jobs) equal to a third of their class level (rounded up), plus an additional two for Graduate exams. | To reach each level, a student must first declare their Major and Minor for that level, then completes a number of training sessions equal to their Level per class (sessions can vary in length, but are often longer at higher levels - an on-level job counts as a training session for both courses), completes a series of written exams (some classes have more than others, but all have at least one) and/or projects, and finally take their Finals - a series of practical exams (as trainings, often jobs) equal to a third of their class level (rounded up), plus an additional two for Graduate exams. | ||
