What do the various skill levels mean?
We tend not to require prerequisites in our classes, but instead expect students to choose classes that are suitable for their particular level of experience. The descriptions below should give you a good idea of how we classify our course offerings. If you ever have a question about if a class is right for you, please email us at education@lansingmakersnetwork.org.
Novice: No particular skills or prior experience needed. Great for students who want to find out if they like something enough to pursue it.
Beginner: Learning the craft, but still working on the basics. Experience isn’t necessarily needed, but a student should be interested in expanding their skill level.
Intermediate: Students are comfortable with basic operations and are starting to expand their knowledge into particular focus areas of a craft.
Advanced: Students are comfortable with experimenting on their own in the craft and are looking to develop in-depth skills in particular focus areas.
