With education: Every level requires at least a high school diploma or equivalent. Intermediate level also requires completing the Navy Entry Level training requirement (Army, Air Force, and Marine equivalents are accepted). Target level also requires one of these: completion of DoD standardized training courses; a valid Child Development Associate (CDA) or Military School-Age (MSA) credential; or a minimum 2-year degree in early childhood education, child development, youth recreation, physical education, elementary or secondary education, youth development, or a related field.

Qualified resumes are then rated on your knowledge, skills, and abilities using set criteria, and you are referred for the grade level you qualify for. The hiring official may also interview applicants.
