How does one go about becoming a meteorologist in the UK?
142004
Check with requirements to become a meteorologist at the Royal Meteorology site. http://www.rmets.org/index.php\nThe schools in england that offer courses are listed here...\nhttp://www.rmets.org/education/courses.php\n\nRequirements to become a "fellow" \nNormally a formal qualification (e.g. a first degree in a science subject and/or postgraduate degree or an NVQ in meteorology or a closely related discipline) and at least five years of professional experience within or directly related to the profession of meteorology or one closely related to it is required. Exceptionally, long experience and performance at a high professional level, suitably attested by peer review, can replace the requirement for a formal academic or vocational qualification. Fellows are elected by Council from among the Associate Fellows on the recommendation of the Accreditation Board. To be considered for election to fellow, Associate Fellows need to be proposed by two existing Fellows. Those elected may, without restriction, use the letters FRMetS after their names, to signal a high level of professional competence in meteorology or a closely related discipline. \n\n\n..Brian www.HighwayWeather.com

Try the police. Basic GCSE maths, english etc above c grade should get you in.

You should check first with UCAS and UKCOSA to validate your qualifications. Also check if you can work and get a residence permit in the UK.

They'll ask you! Normally at University where you are studying a 'useful' foreign language or  PPE (Politics, Philosophy, Economics). You will also need to be a UK national (3 generations), have no convictions (criminal not political), be able to pass a 'simple' assessment test and be able to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! It's not easy but it might just be fun! Forget '007', 'Spooks' comes closer!

What I would suggest is resitting a couple of your GCSES - maths being the key one. If you go to your local FE college they should be able to advise you on how to go about that and if you have a career idea they can probably advise you on what qualifications you need. \n\nHope that answers your question - I know its not exactly an organisation but they normally have careers services within the college.

You really need to ask at your local Job Centre (if they are still called that)   Tell them what you would like to do and they should be able to do a search for you and give you all the information you require.\n\nTake a look at this link for Job Centre Plus info.\n\nhttp://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/JCP/Customers/Helpwithtraining/index.html

Most of the Weather Channels have websites, look under statistics. You can also try the Science department at many schools. (Telephone)

I work for Edge Hill University - one of the UKs largest teacher training places. There are several paths open to become a teacher -\n\none is to become a full time undergraduate student, then complete a PGCE. I wouldn't advise this course for you though, given your circumstances - this would take 4 years.\n\na better option is to enter a full time undergraduate teaching degree - this will take 3 years. You will be entitled to loans as a student, and possibley subsidy grants from your place of learning to put towards child care etc. This all depends on your individual financial circumstances - but I do know of other people in a similar postion to you who have done this.\n\nanother option is to "earn as you learn" - get a job at a school and learn whilst working. These jobs are a lot more competitive though, and depend on the school agreeing to employ you without qualifications.\n\nyet another path is to do a part time teacher training degree - then you can continue working and caring for your child etc whilst gaining your qualification.\n\nIts worth getting in contact with one of our admissions tutors over this - you can find their details on the page below after a bit of searching.

No, not all meteorologists end up on TV. Television is one of many options a person with a meteorology degree has. As a forecaster you can work for the National Weather Service, the military, and private forecasting companies who serve stock brokers, to name a few. Many people go in to research where they might study specialties such as severe weather, tropical weather, or weather and climate impacts on society (which is what I do). Their day-to-day job tasks are too numerous to name here, sorry.\n\nMeteorological jobs have a broad salary range based on your education, experience, and employer. Like all jobs, the longer you are there the more money you usually earn. Many people I know with only an undergraduate degree have had a starting pay between $20,000 and $30,000. Others I know who have a master's or PhD have been able to start their first job at or above $35,000. Pay goes up quite fast for many government jobs, but not as fast for private company jobs.\n\nAs for benefits, I'm not sure. However, most university and government jobs that I know of have decent insurance programs and vacation benefits. \n\nOverall, most meteorologists are not in it for the money! You have to love this field to succeed and be happy!

I think you will enjoy your stint in the UK. The weather is quite wet but not in a torrential way - the climate is rather soft and pleasant. You can enjoy day-trips to London, Bristol, Wales and even travel up to Scotland. There's plenty to soak up in sight-seeing and culture immersion. Happy for you!

I assume you did not originally study in the UK.\nFirst, you will have to find out whether your credentials are accepted in another country.\nThere may be additional course work or an examination required.

If you wanted to do weather based phenomena you'd be better off doing Meteorology as a major to get started. Either way, if you took the right electives for Geography, you could spin your way into a decent grad school to make up for it. Either one will require post-BS studies to ge the background to do advanced studies of atmospheric weather.
