So, in this guide, I’ll walk you through all Dune Awakening trainer locations, including both basic and advanced trainers for each class. I’ll also cover the quests you’ll need to complete to unlock the next skill level.

Let’s get into it.

Understanding Trainers in Dune Awakening

Before we break things down class by class, here’s how trainers work in Dune Awakening:

• There are five skill classes: Bene Gesserit, Mentat, Planetologist, Swordmaster, and Trooper.

• Each class has three skill levels, with corresponding trainers for Basic (Level 1) and Advanced (Levels 2 and 3).

• Trainers won’t talk to you unless you’re eligible - meaning you need to be on the correct level of the skill tree.

• You’ll often have to complete a quest to unlock the next level.

• Trainers do not give you the exact location of the next trainer. They only give vague hints, so knowing exact locations ahead of time is a big win.

Bene Gesserit Trainer Locations

• Quest to Unlock: The Missing Pieces

  • Find the texts:

    • “Lisan Al-Gaib and...”

Pro Tips for Trainer Progression

• Take your main class at character creation if you already know your playstyle. Finding some of these trainers can be a pain early game.

• Map out routes between key hubs like Helius Gate, Cracked Expanse, and Harko Village.

• Keep a stash of quick-travel items (or use a vehicle if you’ve unlocked one).

• Don’t skip quests. Even if they seem like fluff, most class quests are tied to Capstone abilities and advanced unlocks.

• Consider joining a House or Clan to speed up progression and get help tracking down quest objectives.

• Need faster loot or class-specific items? PVPBank has a good selection of Dune Awakening items without the grind.

Mastering the trainer locations in Dune: Awakening is essential if you want to build a powerful character and explore everything Arrakis has to offer. Whether you’re aiming to dominate PvP or crush raids with high-level gear, your class progression is everything.
