Check out the Admissions forum: the Admissions forum is your first stop to ask pre-training questions.
There's a lot to learn about how you portray an engaging, multifaceted member of Starfleet. But don't worry – we have plenty of easy to follow and fun to read instruction that will get you started. Our '''[[/Your Character|Your Character tutorial]]''' is the best introduction, with more to come later.

Check your application acceptance email for your training start date. On that date, you will receive an email – perhaps late in the day where you are – welcoming you to the Academy email list. That email will ask you to reply to the list with your character name and confirmation that you're ready to begin training. Once all the cadets assigned to your class reply, training will start.  


==Prepare your character==
The purpose of the training group is to introduce you to how the game works, and explain some concepts that might be new to you. Everything you need to know about getting started with the game will be presented during your training. But if you want to get started with your training now, you can read the series of tutorials – listed below – that we use in training. But don't worry if you can't get to them before training starts – this is totally optional, and you'll receive them via email during the training.
