CHERUB training begins the day an agent arrives on campus. Seven or eight years old is regarded as the best age to recruit a potential agent.

A cherub recruited at this age will immediatly begin combat training and start learning two foreign languages. They will usually be fluent in both by the time they start basic training at age ten.

After an agent passes basic training (See separate entry HERE) they will continue to learn new skills almost until they are old enough to retire from CHERUB at seventeen or eighteen.
