Lesson

The lesson plan menu in Three Houses.

Lessons are a system introduced in Fire Emblem: Three Houses that allows players to improve their units' skill levels. Taking place at the start of most in-game weeks, they allow one to grant skill experience to their units outside of battle, both specifically through instruction, or more broadly through goals and group tasks.

Overview

Instruction

At the start of each in-game week, the player can choose any of their units apart from Byleth to gain skill experience in any skill of their choice. The amount of times a unit can be instructed is limited both by the player's Professor Level, which determines how many units can be instructed per lesson, and also by each unit's motivation. Units can have up to 100 points of motivation at once, which can increase or decrease in intervals of 25 points. Instructing a unit one time costs 25 motivation, meaning that a fully-motivated unit can be instructed up to four times in a single lesson normally.

Ferdinand receiving skill experience through instruction.

When a unit is instructed, they will gain an amount of skill experience that is dependent on whether the unit has a strength, a weakness, or neither in the subject. Upon being instructed, a unit can also achieve one of four different levels of understanding that further affect how much skill experience they gain during that specific instruction: "Bad" multiplies the skill experience they gain by ×0.5, "Good" by ×1, "Great" by ×1.5, and "Perfect" by ×2. The first "Perfect" instruction that a unit achieves during a lesson will also award the unit 25 motivation, allowing them to be instructed one more time that session. Instructing additionally awards support points between Byleth and the selected unit.

Units can only receive a "Bad" performance if they began the week with 50 motivation or less. In the event that a unit receives a "Bad" performance, the player can choose to either critique or console them; each unit responds differently, and choosing the correct option will cause the unit to recover 25 motivation, allowing them to be instructed one more time that session.

The table below displays how much skill experience will gain from a single instruction:

Skill experience gain from instruction
Understanding level	Skill strength/weakness
Weakness	Neutral	Strength
Bad	+1	+2	+4
Good	+2	+4	+6
Great	+3	+6	+9
Perfect	+4	+8	+12

Budding talents

Instruction is also the means of unlocking certain units' budding talents. Certain skills will be marked with three empty stars (). Upon instructing a unit four times in this subject, one of the stars will become golden; instructing the unit a total of twelve times in the subject will cause all three stars to become golden (), unlocking the unit's budding talent completely. When a budding talent is unlocked, the subject will become a strength for the unit in regards to skill experience gain, and the unit will also learn a new ability or combat art.

As Byleth cannot be tutored, their budding talent is instead unlocked through faculty training and advanced drills: one star is made golden after every two sessions, and their budding talent is unlocked after a total of six sessions.

Unit	Skill	Ability/Combat Art	Notes
Byleth	Faith	White Magic Avo +20	Exclusively trained through Faculty Training.
Edelgard	Reason	Black Magic Crit +10	-
Dimitri	Riding	Seal Movement	-
Claude	Axe	Diamond Axe	-
Hubert	Lance	Frozen Lance	-
Ferdinand	Heavy Armour	Seal Speed	-
Bernadetta	Riding	Pass	-
Dorothea	Faith	White Magic Avo +20	Starts as a bane.
Felix	Reason	Black Magic Crit +10	Starts as a bane.
Sylvain	Reason	Black Magic Avo +20	-
Ashe	Lance	Shatter Slash	-
Mercedes	Bow	Waning Shot	-
Ignatz	Reason	Seal Strength	-
Lysithea	Sword	Soulblade	Starts as a bane.
Marianne	Lance	Frozen Lance	-
Hilda	Heavy Armour	Seal Speed	-
Flayn	Reason	Seal Magic	-
Jeritza	Flying	Darting Blow	-
Anna	Riding	Pass	-
Yuri	Bow	Deadeye	-
Balthus	Reason	Black Magic Crit +10	-
Constance	Brawling	Mystic Blow	-
Hapi	Axe	Exhaustive Strike	-

At certain points after instruction, a unit may ask a question to Byleth. Depending on the player's answer, the unit will receive either no motivation, 25 points, or 50 points, and the player's Professor Level will gain more experience.

Goals

Each unit can have up to two skill level subjects chosen as goals for an in-game week. At the end of each in-game week, the unit will gain skill experience in both subjects, similarly impacted by whether or not the unit has a strength or weakness in the subject. Alternatively, a unit can specialize in just one subject for the week, which will multiply the skill experience they gain in that subject by ×1.5. Skill experience gained from goals is also affected by the difficulty level, with higher difficulties awarding less skill experience per week.

Goals can be changed at any time before the rest of the week proceeds. Occasionally, a unit will also suggest their own character-specific goals, each with their own special name and a short description.

The table below displays how much skill experience will gain each week from goals:

Skill experience gain from goals
Difficulty	Skill strength/weakness
Weakness	Neutral	Strength
Normal	+24	+28	+32
Hard	+20	+24	+28
Maddening	+16	+20	+24

Group tasks

Rewards being received for completing a group task involving Ferdinand and Sylvain.

Similarly to goals, the unit can assign exactly two units to a single group task each week. Group tasks exclusively focus on movement-based skill levels: Riding from the Stable Duty task, Heavy Armor from the Weeding task, and Flying from the Sky Watch task. At the end of the week, the two units will gain skill experience in the selected subject, and the player will additionally be rewarded with a small sum of gold and Smithing Stones.

A group task can have either a "Good" result or a "Perfect" result, with the latter providing greater rewards than the former. A "Perfect" result will be more likely to achieve if the selected units have a strength in the subject, as well as if they have stronger support levels with each other.

The table below displays the rewards gained each week from group tasks:

Rewards from group tasks
Performance	Rewards	Skill experience
Weakness	Neutral	Strength
Good	3 Smithing Stones, 500 gold	+4	+8	+12
Perfect	5 Smithing Stones, 1,000 gold	+8	+12	+16

Goal change requests

After any instruction session, a student may approach Byleth and ask to change their goals. Every student, including the Ashen Wolves, can ask for goal changes. Additionally, Flayn and Cyril can also request goal changes. Characters will usually request their goals to be changed to focus on areas that they have either a boon or a budding talent in. A unit may ask for their goals to be changed even if the requested goals match their current goals. The units that approach Byleth for goal changes are selected randomly and will change should the game be reloaded. Accepting or denying a student's goal change request will not impact their skill EXP gain, combat potential, or Support points.

Unit	Goal	Request description	Intended class
Edelgard	Axe & Authority	N/A	Default goal
Lead Like a Lord	A Lord must know how to command others. Authority is therefore a must. It is also traditional to study sword technique. Will you help me with these endeavors?	Lord
Strong in Heavy Armor	Perhaps it is due to the power of Crests, but heavy armor has never slowed me down. Still, it wouldn't hurt to improve further in that regard. As it were, nothing complements heavy armor better than an axe.	Heavy armor classes
Dimitri	Lance & Authority	N/A	Default goal
Lead Like a Lord	Lords must be leaders, so strong authority should be considered a requirement. They also fight from the front lines, and thus need to know how to handle a sword. Such are my goals... Are we aligned?	Lord
His Father's Footsteps	My father was renowned for his horsemanship in battle, even from a young age. I, too, have a fondness for that pursuit, but to reach his heights, my lance and riding skills will need some polish.	Cavalry classes
Claude	Bow & Authority	N/A	Default goal
Lead Like a Lord	A Lord has to lead troops into battle, so it's important that I master authority. And if I'm going to hold my own in the vanguard, I'll need to achieve sword mastery as well. Might be a challenge, but nothing I can't handle.	Lord
Rite of Passage	Between you and me, being able to ride a wyvern is kind of a rite of passage where I'm from. I'll need to brush up on my flying and axe skills to really excel, though. I can count on you to help me, right?	Wyvern Rider
Hubert	Reason & Authority	N/A	Default goal
The Hands-Off Approach	I prefer to slay my enemies without having to lay a finger on them. With that kind of power, why would I bother with normal weapons? By focusing on reason, I can be a great magic user.	Magic classes
Immediate Aid	I have realized, unfortunately, that my current training is insufficient to respond quickly to the dangers facing Lady Edelgard. I must practice my riding and lance skills, so that I can rush to her aid at a moment's notice.	Cavalry classes
Lethal Efficiency	When it comes to eliminating enemies at a distance, it seems to me that the bow is more effective than magic. By perfecting my skills with the bow, I can be a fearsome Sniper raining death upon my foes.	Sniper
Ferdinand	Lance & Axe	N/A	Default goal
A Noble Cause	A noble must know how to ride a horse, to be certain, and should know how to wield a lance, as that is the most obvious weapon of choice for a rider. As a noble among nobles, it seems natural that I focus on these two skills.	Cavalry classes
Great Aspirations	A Great Knight is a rare treasure on the battlefield: heavy armor to shield allies, and a horse to ride through foes! That is the kind of knight I have always aspired to be.	Great Knight
Not to be Outdone	I heard that Edelgard can wear heavy armor and swing an axe with ease. Well, so can I! I will need some further training in these skills to cultivate my natural talents, of course. Well, perhaps it is best if I leave it up to you.	Heavy armor classes
Linhardt	Reason & Faith	N/A	Default goal
A Bishop Here to Help	If I must go to battle, it's best for me to study faith and be a Bishop. Playing a supporting role should keep me far away from the carnage.	Bishop
A Reasonable Distance	Seeing as I have to strike others in battle occasionally, I am set on studying reason. Magic is still the best way to avoid the awful bore of ordinary weapons.	Magic classes
Caspar	Axe & Brawling	N/A	Default goal
Blasting Through the Battlefield	I wanna blast through battle, cutting my enemies down left and right, and the best way to do that is with an axe! Help me train my axe skills so I can be a great Warrior!	Warrior
Bare Knuckle Brawler	Wham! Pow! As I always say, if all else fails, hit 'em with your fists. Train me up in hand-to-hand brawling, and I'll make a great Grappler!	Grappler
A Split Decision	Maybe it's good to focus on one thing, but I can't do it! Since I love the axe and hand-to-hand brawling equally, I just have to hone both and be a War Master!	War Master
Bernadetta	Lance & Bow	N/A	Default goal
Sniping Out of Sight	If I have to hit someone, I want to do it from so far away that there's no way I can get hit back. I think I want to master the bow, and then people everywhere will know me as Bernie the Sniper!	Sniper
A Quick Getaway	I'm so sick of it! They won't hold still so I can attack them. They just keep running at me! I need to get better at riding so I can put some space between me and them. Ugh, that means I'll have to get better with lances too!	Cavalry classes
Dorothea	Sword & Reason	N/A	Default goal
Locking Down the Magic	Most nobles seem to think magic is their birthright and that commoners lack the talent for it. Help me master reason and train as a Warlock to prove them wrong.	Warlock
Faith in You	I don't believe in the goddess, but...I do believe in you. You've taught us all so much, Professor. You've even taught me to have faith.	Priest or Bishop
A Graceful Blade	A woman has to look out for herself, yes? Allow me to refine my sword technique, so I can handle those who get too close. There is a place for a sword in the performing arts too, you know.	Sword fighting classes
Petra	Sword & Axe	N/A	Default goal
Thief with a Heart of Gold	People are calling me a Thief, but I would never be doing bad things. It is because I am moving very quickly without my enemies noticing. This is why I must be learning the bow and sword.	Thief or Assassin
Taming Unfamiliar Beasts	There are no wyverns in Brigid, but I am wanting practice soaring in the sky. I would like to be training my axe skills as well. I have excitement for being a Wyvern Rider!	Wyvern Rider
Dedue	Axe & Brawling	N/A	Default goal
His Highness's Shield	My purpose is to be a shield for His Highness. Please help me improve my axe and heavy armor skills.	Heavy armor classes
His Highness's Strength	I must be able to guard His Highness at all times, even when I am unarmed. Please train me in hand-to-hand brawling.	Grappler
Felix	Sword & Brawling	N/A	Default goal
Becoming a Master	I've known how to swing a sword since I was a boy, but I still have a lot to learn before I can be called a master. I would ask you to help me temper my sword skills.	Swordmaster
Aiming for Perfection	As with the sword, I was trained in the bow from a young age. I have a good grasp of it, but there's always room for improvement. Might be a good time to work on my aim.	Sniper
A Reasonable Advantage	I have never been interested in magic, but I do recognize that a swordsman who understands it has an advantage over one who doesn't. Help me hone my skills in reason, in addition to the sword.	Mortal Savant
Ashe	Axe & Bow	N/A	Default goal
Threatening from a Distance	I'm not exactly the most imposing figure on the battlefield, so I think it's best for me to focus on my bow skills and do my work from a distance.	Sniper
Strength from Above	I've always had some skill with an axe, but not the strength for the front lines. I can manage more easily on the back of a wyvern, though, so I'll improve my axe and flying skills.	Wyvern Rider
Required to Ride	I've never been very good at anything to do with horses, but...it's kind of a requirement for me to be a knight. Do you think you can help me with my lance and riding?	Cavalry classes
Sylvain	Lance & Axe	N/A	Default goal
Man of the People	You know, jousting is a popular sport in Faerghus. The ladies love a guy who can joust. Speaking of... Let's polish up my riding and lance skills.	Cavalry classes
Protector of the People	The best way to impress people is to save them by diving into harm's way. That's what a Great Knight does, yeah? So let's focus on my axe and heavy armor skills.	Great Knight
A Change of Pace	I want to study reason and faith. What, surprised? Hey, I may be rough around the edges, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a little magic!	Magic classes
Mercedes	Reason & Faith	N/A	Default goal
Protection for Everyone	For me, there is nothing worse than seeing those I care about come to harm. That's why I want to study faith and help others as a Bishop.	Bishop
Strength Without the Sweat	Physical exertion is...not my forte. Oh, but I'd still like to help as much as much[sic] as I possibly can! Maybe I can do that by studying reason and getting better at magic.	Warlock
Annette	Reason & Authority	N/A	Default goal
A Reasonable Passion	My passion has always been for sorcery! With that passion and some more time studying reason, I can be a powerful magic user!	Warlock
Full of Surprises	It's about time I learned how to wield House Dominic's Relic properly. It might surprise you to hear this, but I do actually know a thing or two about axes. Let me take this opportunity to improve my skills!	Warrior
Ingrid	Sword & Lance	N/A	Default goal
Vying for Versatility	I have always admired Pegasus Knights for the versatility they bring to battle. By studying flight, as well as the lance, I am sure to be useful no matter the terrain.	Pegasus Knight
Back to Basics	I'd like to get back to fundamentals, and since the word "knight" originally referred to one who fights on horseback, I need to practice riding and using a lance.	Cavalry classes
A Refined Knight	I've studied the sword since I was young, but seeing how far some of the others have come has made me keenly aware that my own skills could use refining.	Sword fighting classes
Lorenz	Lance & Reason	N/A	Default goal
A Noble's Duty	When I envision nobles in battle, I see them gallantly racing across the field on horseback, trusty lance in hand. It is my duty to meet this ideal, hence my interest in lance and riding skills.	Cavalry classes
The Ideal Role	As masters of both weaponry and magic, Dark Knights are true paragons of excellence on the battlefield. With reason as a prerequisite, it seems I am well suited for the role, wouldn't you say?	Dark Knight
Raphael	Axe & Brawling	N/A	Default goal
Master of Muscles	People say my muscles'll make me a great War Master, and I've got nothing against working on my axe and brawling skills. Whaddaya think, Professor?	War Master
The Biggest on the Battlefield	Professor, do you know how to make a big guy look even bigger? Put him in a giant suit of armor! So, how about training up my heavy armor and axe skills?	Heavy armor classes
Hulking Hero	Raphael the Hero...now that's got a ring to it! Makes you think of a guy who storms castles and rescues princesses, doesn't it? That settles it! I'm gonna train in the axe and sword so I can be the most heroic Hero ever!	Hero
Ignatz	Sword & Bow	N/A	Default goal
Line of Sight	A physique like mine isn't suited to combat in close quarters, so I think I can be most helpful by using a bow. Let's hope I don't ever lose my glasses.	Sniper
Moving Unseen	I know I don't stand out much, but I've been thinking about how to turn that weakness into a strength. It's good to move about the battlefield unnoticed. I'll need to brush up on my sword and bow skills, though.	Thief or Assassin
Might and Magic	There are some enemies you can't hope to defeat in a straight fight, but who are vulnerable to magic. That's why I want to use my own style, combining the study of reason with the sword.	Mortal Savant
Lysithea	Reason & Authority	N/A	Default goal
Suited for Sorcery	Sorcery is my natural talent, so it was inevitable that I'd choose to be a Warlock. It's not easy, but no need to fear. I will never tire of studying reason.	Warlock
Putting Faith in Reason	I would hypothesize that reason, while necessary, cannot result in true understanding without a little faith. You'll let me test this theory, won't you?	Gremory
Marianne	Sword & Faith	N/A	Default goal
Praying for Guidance	I don't have any talents of my own, so all I can really do is pray to the goddess. Maybe if I truly master my faith, she'll show me the role I am meant to fulfill.	Bishop
Heroic on a Horse	I get along well with horses, so I'm OK at riding them. If I were more confident with a lance, then maybe...I might start to feel stronger.	Cavalry classes
Prancing and Praying	Since I spend most of my time looking after horses and praying to the goddess, I think it makes sense for me to be a Holy Knight. With that in mind...would you help me refine my faith and riding skills?	Holy Knight
Friend of the Animals	I get along well with animals. Even in the darkest times, a pegasus or a wyvern can be a reassuring presence. I think I would like to train my lance and flying skills.	Flying classes
Hilda	Lance & Axe	N/A	Default goal
Stick to What You Know	I'm pretty good with an axe, since it's a House Goneril tradition to learn it from a young age. Stick to what you know, right? Easier that way.	Warrior
A Strong Steed	Lugging a big, ol' axe into battle is so much work. Why bother when an animal friend with cute wings can just carry me and my axe wherever we wanna go? So let's just train up my axe and flying skills, OK?	Flying classes
Leonie	Lance & Bow	N/A	Default goal
Just Like Jeralt	I love bows, of course, but archery alone will never make me an elite mercenary. If I want to follow Captain Jeralt's example, I need to hone my riding and lance skills.	Cavalry classes
Bow on the Go	It'd be really useful if I could fire a bow more accurately from horseback. Think we could work on my riding, along with my bow skills?	Bow Knight
Seteth	Lance & Authority	N/A	Default goal
Flayn	Lance & Faith	N/A	Default goal
A Passion to Heal	I believe I am better suited to healing than to fighting. Rather than train with traditional weapons, then, I think it best for me to focus upon my faith.	Bishop
A Passion to Protect	While I find healing to be important and necessary, there are times when I feel it is insufficient. To be truly useful, I would like to improve at offensive magic as well, so my training can involve a balance of reason and faith.	Gremory
Hanneman	Bow & Reason	N/A	Default goal
Manuela	Sword & Faith	N/A	Default goal
Alois	Axe & Brawling	N/A	Default goal
Catherine	Sword & Brawling	N/A	Default goal
Shamir	Lance & Bow	N/A	Default goal
Jeritza	Lance & Sword	N/A	Default goal
Cyril	Axe & Bow	N/A	Default goal
Flying Toward Foes	I used to look after wyverns back in Almyra, so I know how to handle 'em. I can ride one into battle. But it'd be nice if ya helped me work on my axe and flying skills.	Wyvern Rider
Harrier on High	Shamir taught me lots about bows, and I've always gotten along real well with horses. Think we could work on both riding and bow skills?	Bow Knight
Anna	Sword & Bow	N/A	Default goal
On the Value of Swords	I can't really make great recommendations on goods when I don't understand their inherent value. I'd like to better understand swords, so I can better sell them! Focusing on my skill with the blade seems the best way.	Sword fighting classes
Journey to the Great Knight	I want to be a Great Knight. I know I've got the chops, what with my business sense, rapport with horses, and my undeniable brute strength. There's a big payoff if you let me—I just know it! What do you say?	Great Knight
In Remembrance of Origins	I can see study of sword and faith really going hand in hand. Physical defense plus divine protection, you know? So? How about it?	Sword fighting classes
Yuri	Sword & Authority	N/A	Default goal
Swordsman Savior	Some degree of injury is inevitable in battle, but I'm not one to stand idly by while my people get hurt. That's why, in addition to honing my sword skills, it's best for me to study faith so I can tend to my allies' wounds as needed.	Trickster
The Way of the Sword	To be frank, I've never been at ease with lances or axes. I'd suggest that, rather than thrusting one of those clumsy weapons into my hands, you help me achieve mastery with the sword.	Thief
Clear Sight	By shooting down our foes before they get near us, I can greatly reduce the risk of harm to my friends. That in mind, my aim is to master bow skills. Any objections?	Assassin
Balthus	Axe & Brawling	N/A	Default goal
Faith in Fists	I'm a believer, believe it or not. Big on the goddess. Crazy about her. What do you think about me studying faith and brawling at the same time, so I can show my devotion...with my fists?!	War Monk
Killer Combo	Here's the perfect combo for a scrappy guy like me— axe skills and brawling. Yeah? Swinging my axe left and right and then punching guys out if I lose my weapon... I was born to be a War Master!	War Master
Armor Ardor	I won't name names, but a friend of mine told me off for getting wounded too often. If I strap myself into a big honking suit of armor, they shouldn't have anything to complain about, yeah?	Fortress Knight
Constance	Reason & Authority	N/A	Default goal
Mage Taking Flight	What better way to complement my magical abilities than flying over the battlefield? Picture yours truly, raining spells onto our foes from above! By studying reason and flying at the same time, I can make this vision manifest.	Dark Flier
To Restore My House	I have come to a realization! Only by achieving mastery in faith and brawling can I restore my house in the eyes of the goddess—and the eyes of mortals as well! Ahaha!	War Cleric
The Elegant Blade	You are no doubt aware of my magical prowess. However, I may find myself unable to use magic in certain situations. Help me master sword skills, so I can protect myself no matter what may transpire in the heat of battle.	Swordmaster
Hapi	Lance & Reason	N/A	Default goal
Armed to the Teeth	I definitely like the horse-and-magic combo, but I think it's good for me to use a weapon, too. If I master lance skills and riding I can be a Dark Knight that nobody dares to mess with.	Dark Knight
Equine Allies	Chatterbox, you know what a Valkyrie is? They're magic wielders who ride horses. As soon as I heard that was a thing, I knew it was right up my alley. So I gotta get really good in reason and riding, OK?	Valkyrie
Soaring and Swinging	Swinging an axe is so...cathartic. It's a great non-monster- summoning way for me to blow off steam. So if it's all the same to you, I want to fly around on a wyvern swinging an axe left and right.	Wyvern Rider

Seminars and Faculty Training

Seminars are unlocked in Chapter 2 as an option for free days. Opting to participate in a seminar allows three to six recruited characters to receive training in two specific skills from a member of the church faculty. The six units that participate in the seminar are selected automatically based on their skill goals, and Byleth is always one of the units if they are not hosting the seminar. Every character who attends a seminar receives 50 motivation.

Faculty Training becomes available in Chapter 3 after clearing the quest Learning from the Best as an option when exploring the Monastery. Undertaking Faculty Training allows Byleth to receive training in a select skill from any member of the church faculty; which skills are available depend on who is providing the training. A character can only provide faculty training once per free day. Byleth receives 20 points towards the selected skill, an additional 10 if they possess a boon in that skill, and an additional 2 if the relevant bonus from the saint statues has been unlocked. Receiving Faculty Training consumes one activity point.

Seminars and Faculty Training are unavailable in Chapter 12 if Byleth sided with Edelgard in Chapter 11.

In Part II, Faculty Training changes to the name "Advanced Drills", and a unit must have been recruited in order to host seminars or Advanced Drills; additionally, students become able to host seminars and Advanced Drills. Students function identically to faculty for seminars, but to drill Byleth in a skill, the student must have a higher level in that skill than Byleth. Faculty members retain the ability to train Byleth regardless of their own or Byleth's skill level.

Calculations

The amount of skill experience gained from a seminar or faculty training depends on the difference in skill level between the instructor and the student. If a unit has a boon in the respective skill, they will receive 50% more skill experience. Conversely, if they have a bane in the respective skill, they receive 50% less skill experience. "+" skill levels count as full levels for the purposes of calculations.

The table below lists the amount of skill experience gained:

Skill experience gain from Seminars and Faculty Training
Rank difference	Boon	Neutral	Bane
1 or less	30	20	10
2	36	24	12
3	42	28	14
4	48	32	16
5	54	36	18
6	60	40	20
7	72	48	24
8	84	56	28
9	96	64	32
10	108	72	36
11	120	80	40
