Pirate Training Program

"... but you now face four tough years on the Pirate Training Program before you can truly call yourselves VIKINGS."

- Gobber in Book 2

The Pirate Training Program is an educational system for the Hairy Hooligan Tribe to teach their young boys skills to be a full-fledged Viking. It is currently lead by Gobber the Belch.

Swordfighting at Sea
These lessons are divided by ability. The 'Beginners Only' level is introduced at the beginning of How to Be a Pirate. The novices are to practice sword-fighting with wooden covers over their sword blades, while on a ship at sea.
