With the advent of Ascension and influx of alpha players, there is more demand than ever to provide entry-level courses aimed at teaching players how to participate in EVE’s various activities. As part of this demand, we have focused our attention to teaching classes from a select list that will provide EVE community members with a basis of information designed to orient them to the EVE universe. EVE University’s Teaching Department spent several months compiling and revising this roster of classes, and is very proud to announce its initial completion:
C.O.R.E. Classes

Education
The intended audience of these classes are those who are brand new to EVE — those may not understand some of the commonly accepted terminology of EVE — and are designed to take place over 30 – 45 minutes. A brand new player will walk away from the class with a clear understanding of the scope that the subject entails, how to begin practicing some of the more basic activities, and have a better grasp of common terminology associated with that topic. Additionally, a wiki page about C.O.R.E. Classes has been created which explains how to attend these classes. You can also check the EVE University Calendar for classes tagged as [CORE] classes to identify which classes you’d like to attend.
Over time, additional classes will be added to this curriculum. Currently, the list* of C.O.R.E. Classes consists of:
- Introduction to Skills
- Introduction to Amarr Ships
- Introduction to Gallente Ships
- Introduction to Caldari Ships
- Introduction to Minmatar Ships
- Introduction to Weapon Systems
