When an enlisted has preformed their duties to the best ability, they may be recommended by their commanding officer to attend the academy. Enlisted Peacekeepers can also apply to attend, but it is easier to get in with the recommendation of a superior officer as support of their skills.

Attendance doesn't always mean leaving the ship the Peacekeeper is currently serving on, on many ships in the fleet courses can be taken by communications and in-the-field experience. Courses lead the Peacekeeper in the transition from enlisted to officer, aiding them in becoming specialized and preparing them for the learning experience that is command.
