This is all very basic, but it does give us a structure to work with.  However, I suspect that Thieves Guilds and Wizard Societies would follow a similar pattern.

===== Academics =====

Academic Establishments are all about teaching things.  Heads of Universities and Academies don’t have to be Master level teachers – although many are.
  * **Chancellor** – The head of a University .
  * **Principal** – The head of an Academy or leader of an Academic Department in a University.
  * **Master** – Must have a relevant ‘Skill +10’ – Head of a College or a teacher of advanced material.  ‘Skill +10’ means a total Skill Modifier of +10 – not 10 ranks spent in a skill.  An Expert with the relevant ability at 12 and Skill Focus – could attain this standard at L3.  +10 is chosen because it means the Master Work component of manufacture automatically succeeds with a Take Ten.
  * **Teacher** – Must have a relevant ‘Skill +5’ – might be in charge of a school, or teach classes in a larger establishment. ‘Skill +5’ means a total Skill Modifier of +5 – not 5 ranks spent in a skill.  At this level Teachers only teach introductory material – students can gain their first skill point in a subject.

Relevant ‘Skills’ might be:
Knowledge: -  What else should a teacher have :]
Perform:-  for teaching Performance, Arts, Music
Crafts such as Calligraphy – although many crafts will be taught via the Guilds and Apprenticeships.
Professions such as Soldier – although many professions will be taught via the Guilds and Apprenticeships.
To teach in a Sword School a Character needs Martial Arm’s feat.  To teach at ‘Master’ level -  they need to be a Knight or a Sword Lord.
 
===== Trade Guilds =====

Guilds are all about protecting standards – and the interests of the guild members.  There are a number of models -  very early guilds had members with a wide range of skills.  Later there were more guilds, each look after a group of members with similar skills.  Later, some guilds became single skill ….  The model described below mimics a very early guild.  If you have enough craftsmen and a big enough city, feel free to have a guild split ….  Craft Skills Vs professional Skills might be a good early split after that you could have guild wars …

  * **Guild Master** – Head of the Guild – they  should be a Master Craftsman / Professional.
  * **Guild Deputy** – Deputy Guild Master, for a multi-skill guild there might be a space for more than one deputy each with different skills – That depends on the guild and structure.  Every Guild Deputy should be a Master Craftsman / Professional.
  * **Master** - Must have a relevant ‘Skill +10’  - that means a total Skill Modifier of +10 – not 10 ranks spent in a skill.  An Expert with the relevant ability at 12 and Skill Focus – could attain this standard at L3.  +10 is chosen because it means the Master Work component of manufacture automatically succeeds with a Take Ten.
  * **Member** - Must have a relevant ‘Skill +5’ – that means a total Skill Modifier of +5 – not 5 ranks spent in a skill.  At this level Teachers only teach introductory material – students can gain their first skill point in a subject.
