The Prebuild program consists of several steps. There are three steps that a suitably experienced Build volunteer may test out of. He or she may do this as early as their first tour, assuming that there is someone available to conduct the test.

== card sorting ==
The volunteer should be able to identify by sight:
* The different functions: video, sound, modem, combo, NIC, SCSI, and I/O
* The slot types: VESA, EISA, ISA, PCI, AGP
* ISA soundblaster cards and 10baseT and 100 or 10/100 PCI NICs

== motherboard sorting ==
The volunteer should be able to identify by sight:
* The different types of RAM slots
* Where the PCI, ISA, and AGP slots are
* Slot vs. socket mobos and type of socket
* The speed of the processor

== command line class ==
The volunteer needs to know:
* What symlinks and hardlinks are
* What's tab completion
* How to use nano (equivalent to pico), vi, emacs, or vim
* How to access man pages
