A '''skill class''' is a method to improve [[skill]]s by attending one at a [[rabbit hole]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]''.
 
==The Sims 3==
Each skill can be learnt at a [[rabbit hole]] in town, for a standard fee of §400. There are temporary discounts. [[Celebrity|Celebrities]] often get discounts, unless they're under [[Celebrity status#Public Disgrace|public disgrace]]{{vgversion|TS3:LN}}.
In ''The Sims 3'', all skills except [[Photography]], [[Martial Arts]], [[Nectar Making]], and [[Sculpting]] have their own class at a rabbit hole. Generally, the standard fee of a skill class is §400, and a class lasts for an hour. This is not always the case; for example, Mixology and Riding classes costs §500 and lasts for two hours, an [[Advanced Technology]] class costs §500 and lasts for three hours, and so on.
 
Sims may attend a skill class between 6 AM and 11 PM. Sims can get a 20% discount by checking the newspaper. However, only pre-''Late Night'' skills and Mixology may have a discount, while the others don't. A [[celebrity]] may get another discount{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}}.
''[[World Adventures]]'' skills ([[Photography]], [[Martial Arts]] and [[Nectar Making]]) cannot be normally learnt at classes, though the latter two can be practiced at the [[Academy]] and the [[Nectary]]. [[Mixology]]{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}} classes are taught at [[diner]]s, and normally cost §500.
 
Once a Sim starts attending a skill class, they may leave the class and continue later without having to pay an extra fee. Sims cannot attend a class during a concert or a game match at the [[stadium]] or a horse competition at the [[equestrian center]], but they can during a bot competition at the [[plumbot competition arena]].
Each Sim can only go to class for a skill once during a lifetime.
 
Each Sim may only attend a class of a particular skill once during their lifetime. In addition, they cannot attend a class if they already master the skill, except for Advanced Technology skill. The Advanced Technology skill class is called space training class at the [[stellar observatory]], and attending the class unlocks the moon bounce and commemorate moon landing interactions.

==The Sims 4: Discover University==
Skill classes return in ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]''. Sims attend one at a campus rabbit hole. However for off-campus students and non-students, skill classes can be attended directly from a Sim's phone - Sims will then disappear for a while to attend the class. All skills in the game can be improved with a skill class. They can be used as an easy way to improve the required skills for a [[Major#The Sims 4: Discover University|degree]], an [[Major#Elective_classes|elective class]], or a [[career]].
