Intermediate level requires six months of experience equal to the Entry Level, working in a group program for children or youth, plus training modules. Entry level requires no previous experience.

With education: Education can be used in place of some experience. At target level, you can combine 18 months of childcare or youth work with an associate degree that has a major course of study (24 credit hours) directly related to the age group. A bachelor's degree, or 120 semester hours with a major course of study (24 credit hours), can also qualify in fields such as early childhood education, child development, youth development, recreation, or physical education.
