Au pairs are required to complete 6 credits or 8 CEUs or 72 or more hours. We will work with each au pair to ensure that she earns the appropriate amount.<\/p>\n

An au pair may take credit or non-credit classes from an accredited college.\u00a0 If you want to take a class at a school not listed here on our blog, please check with us first to make sure it is accredited. Otherwise, it would not count toward your education requirement.<\/p>\n

Your host family will pay an education allowance to assist you in completing your education requirement. They will also ensure your transportation to class (access to a car and gas expense will be covered). The education allowance is $500.<\/p>\n

There are ways to get your credits for close to\u00a0 your education allowance, but it will not give you a lot of choices. Normally au pairs will contribute some of their own money ($200+) towards their education. We can help you plan out your year of classes to make it fun, interesting and educational!\u00a0 \"CollegeDegrees360\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The APIA Advantage UCLA Course is the only State Dept. approved class with an online component. No other online classes are accepted.<\/p>\n
