Educational Levels defined:

Basic

This is an introductory level and assumes little or no prior knowledge of the subject matter. The basic category provides an introduction to the subject including a practical and "user friendly" definition of terms. The educational activity includes discussion of concepts that are commonly used in the field. The presentation and supplemental material provide a solid foundation on which to build a working knowledge of the subject. The primary focus of a basic activity is to bring those individuals who may not be familiar with the subject matter to a level of knowledge that facilitates further learning.

Intermediate

The intermediate level of educational activity assumes some degree of prior knowledge of the subject. Participants are expected to be somewhat familiar with the terminology frequently used but may be unfamiliar with the methods used. The subject matter includes both working concepts and background or theory. The intent of the intermediate activity is to build on an individual's working knowledge of the subject to a point of expertise.

Advanced

The advanced educational activity provides an in depth and up to date treatment of the subject. A strong working knowledge and a theoretical background are expected of those who attend. The intent is to provide the participant with the latest developments in the field. Those in attendance can expect to be brought up-to-date and advance their knowledge of the subject. Activities in this category provide a quick way to learn more about a subject; however, those who are not familiar with the terminology and methods employed should prepare prior to attending. This category provides an efficient updating of the subject for those who have special interest.
