In the Mazes, students follow a member of another occupation that has been designated as their teacher. Every student's objective is to acquire all of the necessary knowledge and skills and eventually be recommended for ''graduation''; in other words, to transition out of studies and into their profession of choice. Similarly, a student must avoid being ''failed'' or ''rejected'' and removed from the student course. In theory, failed students can start over from the beginning, but the vast majority orient themselves towards different jobs and occupations instead.
Students Adult students attend an [[adult school]], where they are grouped into classes of various sizes (ranging from singular apprentices to classes of 12-16 students) under a designated ''teacher'', which is a member of the field of choice assigned to a teaching role. Teachers generally have near-absolute authority and latitude over their students and classes. The decision to graduate or reject a student is entirely up to the teacher's own discretion and judgment, and they can also change and adapt the length and content of their classes for any reason.
Below is a list of fields in which students (and in turn, teachers) can be found, alongside average expected training/studies time before graduation:
