I think that Gee is talking about the tests and trials that people go through to make sure they are ready for the next level. The teacher or one with the most experience on the subject matter teaches the student. If the student isn’t ready to take the next step they are forced to remain at that level until they are ready to move on. When the student has understood all the lessons and passed all the test/trials, only then will they be able to move onto the next level.
I’m going to use an example of a math class that I took. Every week we’d learn subject matter and be quizzed and tested on this throughout the week. As the course went on we would build upon the lessons that came before. The quizzes and tests kept us in line for the final cumulative test. There were several stages in this course that you needed to understand to do well on the series of exams. If you didn’t maintain a C average you were forced to take the course again.
