Course Level Descriptions
100 Level - Courses in the 100 level are meant for staff members of NFP firms who are new to the industry, the firm or NFP. These courses require no prior training and are appropriate for all levels of experience.
200 Level - Courses in the 200 level are meant for staff members at NFP firms who have some experience in the industry or with their firms, and who are more specialized in their focus. These courses are intended to be second-level courses and a fair understanding of content from a 100 level course will ensure an efficient and productive learning environment for all attendees.
300 Level - Courses in the 300 level are meant for experienced staff, producers and partners in NFP firms who would benefit from the experience of peer-peer discussions and networking. Attendees should be proficient with content from 100 level and 200 level courses. These courses require a high level of engagement and will help build the leaders within your organization.
