In order to be promoted to journeyman, an apprentice must first meet the criteria of age, length of time as a harper, and aptitude in the various craft skills. Apprenticeships normally start at age 12, with the earliest advancement coming at age 15: with three turns of study, a promotion to Senior Apprentice is possible. The next benchmark is at age 18, with six turns of experience, to Junior Journeyman, then at 21 and nine turns of experience, Senior Journeyman. Of course, all of these are dependent upon the Hallmaster and the other Masters: promotions only take place with their approval, and are based on participation and knowledge of the craft.
