It should be possible to search or review results of a search by specific credential level, e.g. beginner, intermediate, advanced, high school, post-graduate. In some contexts there formal level indicators which may be used to show the educational levels of things such as courses and credentials (e.g. the levels of the European Qualifications Framework), in other cases informal human readable labels are used.

Discussion: EOCred: Identify the level of a credential thread from February 2018.

Proposal

Create a new property of EducationalOccupationalCredential called educationalLevel

Name: educationalLevel

Definition: The level in terms of progression through an educational or training context. Examples of educational levels include 'beginner', 'intermediate' or 'advanced', and formal sets of level indicators.

Expected Range: Text, URL, DefinedTerm

Note: the required educational level of an educational occupational credential will normally align with the educational level of the audience who might earn it and level of the learning opportunities (e.g. courses) that lead to it.
