Normally 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. Completion of a doctorate will normally count as two years professional experience. Completion of an MSc is not counted as professional experience.
