Every turn spent on training gives some extra experience. Making bunch of newbies elites will take a long time, but having them get their first star is only a few turns, I think.
I understand there is another site like this called the Ancient Master (this one an Astral 1 site). The Site Reference indicates that this one gives 8 XP per turn. Any idea on the effectiveness of the AoW?

Academy of War gives 4 exp per turn, The Ancient Master gives 8. Academy of War is not unique, and it is still a level 0 Blood site. The Ancient Master is unique.
Take a look at the Magic Site DB (search the forum or grab it from Arryn's site), it has all the info on EVERY SINGLE SITE in the game.
