The Learning Coalition is a volunteer organization focussed on teaching players about the game. It is not a Corporation, and it has no specific Alliance affiliations. Players from any Corp can join the Learning Coalition, whether they want to receive guidance, provide guidance to others, or both. There is no clear line between student and instructor, as many advanced students are eager to share what they have learned with new players, and many experienced players seek guidance from other veterans when trying a new role which is unfamiliar to them.
The Learning Coalition chat channel has also become known as the place in game to discuss balance and game mechanics as there are experts there from all aspects of the game. In may ways it has become an in-game extension of the Rookie Training Grounds forum.
Joining the Learning Coalition:
To join the Learning Coalition you need only join the GÇ£Learning CoalitionGÇ¥ chat channel (no quotes).
What is expected of you:
- The only requirement is that you treat other members of the channel with respect.
- If you are a new player, you should be asking questions. We canGÇÖt read your mind or see your screen, so we donGÇÖt know what you are struggling with until you tell us. You should also activate voice in the options menu, and then squad up with experienced players whenever you get the opportunity. Listen to how they communicate and the strategies they use. If you have a mic, ask questions when there is a pause in the action. Let people know what role you are trying to play or suit/weapon you are trying to use, and they may provide you some useful advice to help you along.
- If you are an experienced player you should try to answer questions posted in Learning Coalition. If you have space in your squads and you are feeling patient, then you should invite players from Learning Coalition. Sometimes this will give you a chance to mentor a new player. Sometimes this will allow you to meet a Vet from another Corp who you would not normally interact with. Please try to set Corporate squabbles aside when squadding in Learning Coalition.
Taking training to the next level:
If you wish to do more than just answer questions and squad with new players, you are encouraged to do so. Whether you want to give lectures, take on appendices, or come up with your own training models, you are welcome to operate through the Learning Coalition. You may even charge for your services if you would like, however since most of the training is free, you would need to offer something extra special to get people to pay for your services.
Training Groups:
If you have a group of friends who all want to help out with training new players, you can form a Training Group. Just give yourself a name, and post in this thread about what you offer. Some of the Training Groups that Learning Coalition has hosted in the past include:
- The Mango: Founded by Charlotte OGÇÖDell)
- BojoGÇÖs School of The Trades: Founded by Bojo The Mighty after disbanding the Corp of the same name.
Corporate Members:
If you run a training Corporation you can apply to join Learning Coalition as a Corporate Member. As a Corporate member your Corporation will be listed as being part of the Leaning Coalition, and the CEO will have a seat on the Learning Coalition Council, which governs the Learning Coalition. (It is not as formal as it sounds.) Feeder Corps do not qualify for Corporate membership, although the management and membership of Feeder Corps are welcome to join Learning Coalition chat as independent members. The Learning Coalition is looking for Corporations that focus on helping new players find their destiny, wherever it might lead.
The advantage to being a Corporate member is that the chat channel can help to supplement the services you already provide. Most small and even medium size training Corporations do not have experienced instructors on at all times, or have instructors experienced in every role. By encouraging all members to join Learning Coalition chat, any questions that canGÇÖt be answered within the Corp, can be extended to the volunteers from many other Corporations in the chat channel.
Current Active Corporate Members:
- Immortal Guides: CEO is Renier Gaden (Fox Gaden)
Inactive Corporate Members:
- R 0 N 1 N: CEO is Lightning xVx (Corporation is mostly inactive at this time.)
Former Corporate Members:
- BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades: Founded by Bojo The Mighty, run by Artificer Ghost when it joined the Learning Coalition, later returned to Bojo The Mighty who disbanded the Corp in a downsizing restructuring which produced the Training Group of the same name.
- Learning Coalition College: Founded by Artificer Ghost in order to allow the restructuring of BsotT. Has since been closed.
- Terrestrial Suppression Force: Founded by ConantheCimmerian, who is now in another Corp.

Etiquette & Moderation:
We ask that you treat other members of the Learning Coalition chat channel with respect and patience. People who are being exceedingly disruptive or offensive may be removed from the channel.
- Please refrain from posting recruitment ads in Learning Coalition chat. You are free to tell people all about how great your Corp is once they join your squad. If you want them to join your Corp I suggest you be as pleasant and helpful to your squad members as possible.
- Please donGÇÖt spam the chat channel. Spam is the posting of text without meaningful content, or excessive repetition of content for the express purpose of taking up space and pushing previous posts off the top of the screen.
- Please donGÇÖt post excessively explicit sexual comments, as there may be children present.
- Please donGÇÖt post hate speech. We donGÇÖt want to see sexist, racist, or homophobic comments.
- Please donGÇÖt bully or harass people in the Learning Coalition chat channel.
While I give a lot of leeway when it comes to colourful language and figures of speech, excessive violations of these principals will not be tolerated. I have on occasion had to ban people from the channel for various lengths of time. Thankfully this is not a common occurrence.
If you feel someone is violating the rules of etiquette stated above, send an in-game mail to Renier Gaden. Please state the name of the perpetrator, the time the incident occurred, and describe in detail what they did. I often leave Renier Gaden logged on, and if the incident has not scrolled off the top of the channel, I may be able to act immediately. If I donGÇÖt have access to the chat log I will record your complaint, and keep an eye on the person to watch for further violations.
We had a second moderator, but his account is currently inactive.

History:
The Learning Coalition was founded in September of 2013 by four players who were actively involved in training new players, and were regular posters on the Rookie Training Grounds forum. We felt that we could help more people if we shared our resources and supported each other. It would also provide a support structure for others who wanted to train new players to get their operations off the ground. It was basically seen as a coalition of all the independent training outfits.
The four Co-founders were:
- Fox Gaden (Renier Gaden): CEO of Immortal Guides.
- Artificer Ghost: At the time was CEO of BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades.
- Charlotte OGÇÖDell: Head of The Mango, a new player training group.
- Bojo The Mighty: Founder and former CEO of BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades.
The Learning Coalition Council, the informal governing body of the Learning Coalition included the 4 founding members as well as CEOGÇÖs of Corporations that joined the Learning Coalition later.
Since the Learning Coalition is very free form, allowing members a great deal of freedom to run their operations in whatever way they feel is appropriate, there is rarely any cause for the Council to meet. The whole idea is to support peopleGÇÖs attempts to provide training and guidance to new players, without getting in their way.

I love trolling Scouts with my Shotgun... On my COMMANDO!!!
The other day I was put in a match of 6 vs 11, so I was just wondering around. An LAV sees me, I start shooting the Driver with my ScR, he then proceeds to run over me. I jump out of the way into the corner. He comes out, he was a Proto Min Scout with Ishk. Nova Nives(he killed me before, I think he was Parkour Practitioner?), runs up to me and... BOOM. Don't get to close to my Amarr Commando, he carries his Personal Cannon.
Lock me Bro. I DARE YOU!!!

Hey! Just wanted to let any newbies looking at the Learning Coalition know that it is probably your best option. You can almost always get a good squad (especially if you play with me, wink wink), and the people are pretty darn helpful.
Also, HUUUUUUUUUUGE props to Mr. Gaden, for keeping the place alive, being the only administrator. Seriously. I will not be re-joining the Coalition as an administrator, but I am very happy to have been a part of it.
EDIT: I derped. Never mention it.

What have you been up to Art?
Immortal Guides has gotten back into PC for training purposes, but this time I hired a Student Intern to do all the work!
I was just orbiting over one of our PC matches trying to figure out the Orbital Bombardment thing EVE side. Almost got it, but for some reason it was not giving me the 3 minute countdown, even though I was connected to the district and had the team chat channel.

Hey Fox if you are still having trouble with getting OBs working by the time you see this ping me in game or via skype and I will see about hooking you up with someone EVE side who knows the ins and outs of that already.
Cheers,

About time we got another Training Corp. The Learning Coalition has been down to one Corp for a while now, although Lightning xVx has been posting again, so I am holding out hope that he will get R 0 N 1 N up and running again.
