Dachande Anasazi, since you are looking at BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades next I want to give you some context.
BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades is a member of the Learning Coalition. ItGÇÖs role within the Learning Collation is to help guide players once they figure out what they want to specialize in. To get the full experience, make sure you join the Learning Coalition chat channel.
BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades was inactive for a while when the founder, Bojo The Mighty, was absent for two months. The new CEO has been working to get it going again, but due to this setback, it is not yet as developed as other schools such as DUST University. Keep that in mind.
Immortal Guides (my Corp) is the Corporation within the Learning Coalition which takes on new players. The Learning Coalition council decided that this would be best so that BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades could focus on more advanced training.
You are welcome to join Immortal Guides and critique our performance. What you are doing is actually in line with what Immortal Guides was originally setup for, before we became a basic training Corp. Hence the catch phrase GÇ£supporting knowledge dissemination in New EdenGÇ¥. You are essentially a Consumer Reporter. I have been looking to recruit a reporter for some time.
The Learning Coalition is greater than a single Corp however, so I should explain in more detail.
I had been the first Director of Education at DUST University, a position I held for 5 months. While DUST University does what it does very well, I realized that its very institutional approach did not fit everyone. So, when I left DUST University I contacted the people who were most active in trying to teach new players, and suggested forming a loose coalition to share resources in a less restrictive and less institutional manner, or maybe it was Charlotte OGÇÖDell who first suggested a Coalition? Anyway, that is how the Learning Coalition was born.
The Learning Coalition was started by: Fox Gaden (myself), CEO of Immortal Guides; Artificer Ghost, CEO of BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades; Charlotte OGÇÖDell, Speaker of the Mangrove and leader of the Mango Training Group; and Bojo The Mighty, founder of BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades, and CEO of Zanzibar Concept. We formed the Learning Coalition Council, which is not nearly as formal as it sounds. LOL. When R 0 N 1 N became the third Corporate member of the Learning Coalition Lightning xVx joined the council as well, although we have not really had a whole lot of discussions since he joined.
While DUST University is very introverted and uses its own instructors, the Learning Coalition is the opposite. Our Mentors and Instructors are mostly from other Corporations. Many of them are still active in Planetary Conquest, possibly against each other. This brings a nice depth of experience to the Learning Coalition and allows good players to help out without having to make the commitment of leaving their Corp. They are what we call Individual Members, rather than Cooperate Members, of the Learning Coalition.
The Learning Coalition does not have a strong central authority. Our members are autonomous. This is why it was formed as a Coalition rather than an Alliance. Even the Learning Coalition Council only consult occasionally, mostly to agree on our direction and basic principles. Otherwise we each go about meeting our training mandate in our own way. But the combination of many approaches tends to cover the bases fairly well.
While drafting this post I discovered that D.A.R.K. Academy has become the fourth Corporate Member of the Learning Coalition. (What was I saying about the Learning Coalition Councel not consulting. LOL) That would make Sky Kage the 6th member of the Learning Coalition Council, if we ever get around to meeting again.
The Learning Coalition consists of:
Immortal Guides (Corporate member) CEO is Renier Gaden (Fox Gaden)
BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades (Corporate member) CEO is Artificer Ghost
R 0 N 1 N (Corporate member) CEO is Lightning xVx
D.A.R.K. Academy (Corporate member) CEO is Sky Kage
Mango Group (Training Group), run by Charlotte OGÇÖDell
Individual Members (Instructors, Mentors, & Students)
The Learning Coalition Councel consists of:
Fox Gaden (Immortal Guides)
Bojo the Mighty (Independent member)
Artificer Ghost (BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades)
Charlotte OGÇÖDell (Mago Group)
Lightning xVx (R 0 N 1 N)
Sky Kage (D.A.R.K. Academy)

Post the next one in Rookie Training Ground, and copy and past this one into that thread. I would also suggest reserving enough posts so that you can post all your reviews together in one thread.
Also, I have linked to this thread in the Learning Coalition thread in the Rookie Training Grounds, so for now people can use that link to find this thread, once it gets buried.
