The basics
The basics
The Jedi Academy is the first step toward becoming a fully-fledged member of the Order. Within the Academy, you will face various tests and trials that will determine how quickly you learn, your abilities, and your interests. You'll start out in the Order as a Force Sensitive. In order to progress, you must join the Jedi Academy.
As mentioned previously, the Academy exists to prepare newer members for the responsibilities that may fall upon them later as they move up through the ranks, and to provide them with as many experiences as possible so they can choose the path they want to take. Opportunities vary from becoming a teaching student in the Academy or Service Corps - This can range from being a Lightsaber Instructor to lore experts, and so on. You can also apply to the Librarian's Assembly, which manages the Order's Archives on Naboo, or the Diplomatic Corps [DESCRIPTION TBA]. Otherwise you can apply for the Taskforce, which is the Order's direct connection to the Clone Army of the Republic, or apply for the Temple Guard, the most elite and prestigious division the Order has to offer. Everything starts from your journey in the Academy.

Progressing outside of the academy
Progressing outside of the academy
Obviously, you will eventually have to leave the Academy and will be given two choices. Once you've reached the rank of Initiate, in order to progress you will be required to:
Find a Jedi Knight+ to take you as their Padawan
Enlist in the Jedi Service Corps and become a Stage II Initiate
Initiate II
Initiate II
Joining the Jedi Service Corps means you will practically handle your own education and preparations for the Trials of Knighthood. You will be provided with various informative sources, regarding topics and key points you will need to know for your Trials, but you won't be bound to doing it on your Master's timetable. Instead, you control when you take your Trials, based on whether you think you've learned enough and gathered enough material to take them.

Padawan
Padawan
Becoming a Padawan is similar to joining the Service Corps, except your education will be directed and supported by a Jedi Knight+, an individual that has already completed their trials and become a fully fledged member of the Order. Your Master will decide when you are ready to take your trials, and alone will be responsible for making sure you have all the necessary material.
If you choose to take this path, then you won't be required to join the Service Corps.
