Comparison Chart: The Old and New 300-Hour Standards
As a reference tool for RYS 200 & 500s (these schools hold two separate designations: RYS 200 and RYS 300), you can compare the old and new Standards below. You'll notice that the new Standards actually offer much more flexibility, with a wider range of elective hours, than the old ones.
For the full Standards and explanations, please visit the
300-Hour advanced standards page. You can also
view all RYS designations, to review the distinctions between a RYS 200, RYS 300 and RYS 500.
