Founded in 2161, Starfleet Academy was the training and educational facility for Federation Starfleet personnel. Its headquarters were located in the Earth city of San Francisco.
The Academy, its branch schools and other Starfleet educational facilities operated under the aegis of Starfleet Training Command. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
[edit] Academy preparatory schools
At least in North America, there was one Academy Institute in each state or province. (VOY novel: Mosaic)
- The Academy Institutes may have been similar to elementary and secondary schools that were military academies in the 20th and 21st centuries.
- The Starfleet Academy Preparatory Program (DS9: "Facets") may have been waived for Academy cadet-aspirants who attended an Academy Institute.
[edit] Coursework
Every cadet also had to undergo a physical recruit training which involved obstacle course training. (Dragon Ball Z vs. Star Trek: The Way of Infinity)
Cadets on the command-track were given the infamous Kobayashi Maru scenario to test how they would handle a no-win situation.
