The lowest jedi rank, Initiates are the younglings and those that are still training to master the basic skills and techniques.

See the setting info on Jedi Initiates →

Starting Training The initiate can start with at most 30 training points. If the player desires, they may start with less training points. Normally, they do not start with any lightsaber combat styles, nor any advanced skills or force powers.

Advancement To be promoted to the rank of Padawan, an initiate must be deemed sufficiently developed by their teachers and the Jedi council. To be deemed such the initiate must have mastered the first step of the Shii-Cho combat style, learned at least one Skill, and have gained at least 50 Training Points in total. Furthermore, they must have been on a "mission" after which they have shifted a Virtue Point to a Light Virtue (this models that they have gained sufficient understanding of morality to let it affect their behaviour).

Note that Jedi do not learn how to make lightsabers as part of their normal training, so construction of a lightsaber is not a requirement for advancement.
