How did the Doctor become a Time Lord?

The Doctor, the main character of the British science fiction TV series Doctor Who, is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor belongs to a race of beings known as Time Lords, who possess the ability to travel through time and space in their TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) machines.

The Doctor became a Time Lord by going through the rigorous process of training at the Time Lord Academy on Gallifrey. The Doctor was not always a Time Lord, but rather a Gallifreyan who stole a TARDIS and used it to travel through time and space. The Time Lords eventually granted the Doctor Time Lord status as a reward for his exceptional service to their society.

The process of becoming a Time Lord involved a lengthy period of study and training, during which the individual would learn about time travel and the laws of time. The individual would then be required to undergo a series of difficult and dangerous trials, which were designed to test their intelligence, courage, and resourcefulness. Only those who passed these tests would be granted the title of Time Lord.
