Dooku would go on to complete the Initiate Trials and wanted to be selected as the Padawan of Lene Kostana, who had a mission to hunt down relics of the dark side. During a tournament, Dooku fought and bested Sifo-Dyas in a duel. But was then upset as Kostana chose Sifo-Dyas as her apprentice, however, this disappointment would fade as he would go on to become the Padawan of Grand Master Yoda.

The two of them went on many missions together, including a trip to Kashyyyk, where Dooku saw Yoda face a giant Terentatek.

During his time as Yoda’s Padawan, at age 20, Dooku attended his mother's funeral on Serenno. During his visit he was physically and verbally assaulted by his father, calling him a “freak". This led to Dooku discovering more about his bloodline.

Over his time as a padawan, Dooku would often join Sifo-Dyas and Kostana on missions. During a mission to track down a relic on Asusto, they were ambushed by a dark side sect and Dooku was captured to be a part of a dark side ritual. Whilst in captivity, Dooku sees visions of the future, where he uses Force lightning to kill his captors.

Dooku saw Master Kostana as a mentor, and during one lesson she used the fictional Darth Sakia to test the Padawan learner. She informed him that this fictional Sith Lord used a curved-hilted lightsaber, which interested Dooku greatly.
