The Society’s 'Chartered Meteorologist' accreditation scheme provides the highest level of professional qualification in meteorology and will satisfy clients and employers that individuals have reached a specified level of knowledge and experience in the subject equivalent to that of Chartered status in any other profession.
A key requirement for those wishing to seek accreditation as a CMet is to satisfy the Society in respect of their knowledge of meteorological science and practice. This will normally be demonstrated by successfully completing an appropriate university course at first degree or higher degree level.
The “core syllabus” to meet CMet requirements is published by the Society and this will generally map to the core content of typical university courses which major in meteorology. The Society is keen to identify such courses and thus facilitate the progression of graduates to professional accreditation.
Universities and other institutions have their own distinctive methods of designing and documenting the content of their courses, and it is sometimes a time-consuming task for the Society to confirm that the stated content of a course meets the requirements. Accordingly, a “self-evaluation” process has been devised for use by institutions offering courses which potentially meet the requirements of the CMet core syllabus. If you would like your course to be considered by the Society for the purposes of CMet accreditation, please contact the Society requesting confirmation that your course(s) meet the CMet requirements.
We hope that being able to make a statement about the Society’s approval of your course in this particular context will be of benefit in promoting the work of your institution and provide added value for your students.
The procedure for self-evaluation is described in the preamble to the form. You will note that the process is designed to be a simple adjunct to documentation that is likely already to exist and thus avoids creating a significant burden for the academic staff delivering the course(s).
Please send your request for course approval , or any questions to Chief Executive
The following courses have been accepted as fulfilling the requirements for core content under the Society's Chartered Meteorologist Accreditation Scheme.
