Qualifications
Required Qualifications: Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years.

30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
