Dune: Awakening- All Trainer Locations
Alongside building Ornithopters, a fancy base, and grinding for the strongest minerals in the game, you also need to make your character stronger, hence the RPG nomenclature.

To learn the most powerful skills and to maximize your personal strength, you need find people who can teach you their ways, unlocking basic, advanced, and capstone skill in the process. With all trainer locations listed below, you'll have a much easier time in Dune: Awakening.
How To Find Trainers In Dune: Awakening
In a game filled with NPCs, it would've likely been annoying to find which ones were the trainers, especially in the social hubs. Luckily, Funcom identified all trainers in a very simple way.

Remember that if you started with a class, you automatically skip to the Advanced trainers. All the Basic trainers do is unlock the skill tree.
Bene Gesserit Trainer Locations

If you want to get here early, we recommend reaching the Shield Wall from Jabal Eifrit Al-gharb and then climbing it. The Helius Gate is right on top of the wall, so you will not run into any enemies here.

Mentat Trainer Locations
Much like Sister Mesa, the basic Mentat trainer will require you to make quite a trek in order to reach him. Samin Moro is at the South-most area of the Hagga Rift's surface, close to the Eastern Vermillius Gap border.
Don't worry though, Samin is also located in a safe area, inside the Riftwatch. As long as you have a Sandbike, you should have no trouble reaching him, just make sure you don't get eaten on your way there.

To find the Advanced Mentat trainer you must fly to the social hub (using your Thopter or the taxi service) and enter into the Salusan Bull bar. You'll find the trainer at the back, as highlighted above.
Planetologist Trainer Locations

Just climb the rocks above the station until you find a big tent with plants. You'll find the basic Planetologist trainer inside.

There will be enemies in this area, so be careful. Make sure you clear everyone before beginning the dialogue, as you won't be invincible during it.
Swordmaster Trainer Locations

Arno is inside the Pinnacle Station Tradepost, the Northern-most tradepost in the entire game. You'll have to cross half the map to find him, even if you have your base in the middle of the Vermillius Gap.
One relatively safe way to reach him is to climb the Shield Wall where you find the basic Bene Gesserit trainer, make your way through the edge of the wall and then jump down into the tradepost.

Trooper Trainer Locations
Image Via Funcom. Screenshot Captured By Blast.Trooper has the easiest basic trainer location in Dune: Awakening, which is great, because it also has one of the best early game skills in the entire game, the Shigawire Claw.
You'll find Ghavouri inside the Griffin's Reach Tradepost, around the middle of South Haggan Basin. Complete his contract and enjoy the vertical freedom that the Claw brings.
