Selected

non-professional youth-work training /= professional social-work training

Always difficult to translate "animation". In this case, the BAFA/BAFD are for organising children's clubs etc on an occasional basis (e.g. a student may do that as a holiday job but must first pass the BAFA). The others are professional diplomas for full-time social workers, not necessarily working with young people.

This explains it in depth:
