Andorian Academy

The Andorian Academy was an military academy that was operated by the Andorian Defense Force and was headquartered on Andor, with various subsidiary campuses on several Andorian colony worlds. (; )

In order to join the ADF, hopeful candidates had to enrol at the Academy where they underwent three years of rigorous training to prepare them for service aboard ADF vessels or facilities. Despite the similarity to Starfleet Academy, the Andorian Academy focuses more on combat training and the cadets were subject to more rigorous and strict training than there Starfleet counterparts.

Upon completion of the three year course, many graduates were assigned to various positions across the ADF. However on rare occassions, exemplary cadets were offered the opportunity to take a one year course at Starfleet Academy which would allow them to serve in Starfleet.
