Certification Levels
Grades 6-8: certifying for the first time, level 1. Or if previously certified, may re-certify in either level 1 or level 2. NOTE: Our region encourages those who have previously certified and are in grades 3-5 to re-take level 1. However, parents may choose to have their youth move forward and take level 2.
Grades 9-11: level 2
Grades 12-13 have four options:
1) re-certify at level 2 (will be different lessons than 3 years ago)
2) complete an animal science class at a two year or four year accredited college
3) teach a 4-H LQA&E session with approval from 4-H staff
4) contribute in a leadership role at a 4-H animal science project meeting with approval from 4-H staff
