    How to sense the flow of the Force, to control their ability to channel it, and how to use it to increase their abilities. Plus how to wave a lightsabre around.

    Yoda teaches all the young students until they become Padawans, which happens around the age of 13 (human equivalent age).

    Well, younglings are taught more ABOUT the Force, rather than how to use it. They begin to understand the virtues and aspects of the Jedi through history teachings, oral lessons on embraced concepts, and beginning level introduction experiences in being able to use the Force as one's ally and aid to help others.


    They are grouped, according to their skills (i.e. those who are more profiecent in mental use of the Force go into one group, while lightsaber and physical Force go into another, etc.). These make up certain youngling "clans", in which are trained in sync with their abilities and at an individual pace.

    After they become a bit older they begin to get more in-depth with their training in how to use the Force and how the Jedi are to utilize it as a facet and a colleague in many matters. Depending on their grouping, they may recieve training lightsabers and begin to use the Force in order to control and protect while operating such a "weapon".



    A Padawan, defined as a young Jedi-in-training which has been taken on by a Master, is trained in a very different number of things, all (again) according to the idividual's abilities and natural skills in certain areas.

    They area all trained in basic lightsaber combat and defense, although if they are a Padawan showing excellence at this level then the Master may improve upon these skills by training more vigorously and/or by new techniques and lessons. Many who become Jedi Knights that are experts in combat and protection come out of this sort of training.

    Many are trained in basic healing procedures although, once again, this is based on the beings traits in these genres.

    All Padawans are taught about discussion and oral problem solving, as well as peaceful resolution and quick thinking. This is all aided by regular assignments in Force-use.


    Pretty much a Padawan's entire experience in training is based upon political and social event, Jedi Council matters, their Master's synopsis of what is in the best interest of all, and their own abilities in certain areas.



    Of course, after becoming a Jedi Knight (after completing training with a Master and finishing the Trials), there is still many opportunities as a student within the Jedi Temple. Their are Majors to be taken in areas of expertise from mechanical engineering, spaceflight, communications, healing and advice, social interaction, political science, and much more- all pertaining to what is chosen and who has chosen it.


    Yet a Jedi's path in training is never complete- their is always more to learn and more to learn from. Always in motion, the future is- and so it affects the way of the learning Jedi. :)
