As Anthony noted, in D&D it depends on edition - before 3.X "monster races" didn't have class levels (and neither did most humans ... other playable species varied). In 3.X there were levels for everyone, sometimes levels in being your own species, sometimes in one or more classes. Didn't involved my self with 4 or 5 EDs.
D&D is the only class and level game that I'm really familiar with - although in my limited experience the Palladium fRPG does classes for monsters in the same erratic manner as it does everything else.
In other games classes and levels are often not a thing (GURPS, FATE, BRP ... and other, non fantasy systems) ...
Logically, in world building terms at least, there would seem to be no good reason for them not to be a thing unless that is very much baked into the assumptions of the setting.
