The program is structured in three Sections, with four parts to every section. Section The first is needed to become performed by Joined Apprentices just before their promotion towards the Second Degree, Section Two by Fellow Crafts just before their Raising, and Section Three by new Master Masons just before them receiving their Grand Lodge Certificate or just being qualified for appointment to the lodge office apart from Steward.

The goal from the course isn't to create candidates "experts" in freemasonry, but instead to provide them an extensive understanding of their concepts, teachings, background and workings. The training for that course, set at "Senior High SchoolInch standard, involves candidate's reading through chosen extracts from various relevant Masonic books. Thus, an applicant isn't needed to achieve and consult any books, by itself, although a comprehensive "non-compulsory" reading through list is attached for individuals desirous of stretching their understanding further.
