Not much to it really. Initial certification gives one a Class 2 rating, which allows officiating at any level other than varsity. After two years, you can take an exam to become Class 1 certified. As I understand it, it is the same written exam as the Class 2 but you can't have a rule book open, and has the additional requirement of being evaluated during games. Class 1 then allows you to work any level.
I think there is a third rating for younger (under 18) officials and also a "retired" classification or something.

If I were you I would go for the Class 1 rating. You might get offered a varsity game and fall in love with those games. At the very least you have the option.
