The first requirement for advancement, after submitting a valid Jedi Application, is that you study and complete the Initiate Programme. This is a comprehensive set of studies that include works on metaphysics, comparative religious studies, personal development and concepts relating to Jediism. Click on the link marked “Studies”, then "Initiates" in the Menu at the top of the page to be directed to the instructions and content of the Programme.

If you are studying the Initiate Programme and already have the status of "Temple Member", you are considered to hold the rank of 'Novice'. Please contact Jestor, once you have posted on Exercise 4, Lesson 1, The Hero's Adventure, so he may make this change on your account as it is not an automatic process.

Each student should post their work in the forum called Journals in the New Members section. Start a new thread and call it something like “John Smith's Journal”. All your work should be posted as a reply to this topic. Please make sure your username and the word ‘Journal’ are in your journal's title.

Please respect the privacy of other people's journals and do not post in them unless specifically requested to do so. Teaching Masters are those holding the rank of Knight and above. They may wish to post in your journal to offer guidance or to help with your training.

All of the above will allow Teaching Masters to develop an understanding of your beliefs, ideas, philosophy, needs and also to generally get to know you. The next step after completion of the Initiate Programme is Apprenticeship. Not all Initiates can be taught however, which is why you should take great care when completing the Initiate Programme. Showing patience and initiative in your studies is what will attract potential Teaching Masters.

Occasionally the right Teaching Master for you will be unavailable. If this is the case Initiates may be given tasks in that 'waiting' period and should consider additional self-study and engaging in deeper philosophical discussions in the forum.
