To become a meteorologist, a person must take at least one undergraduate university degree in meteorology.[1] For researchers, this training continues with higher education, while for forecasters, each country has its own way of training.[3] For example, the Meteorological Service of Canada and UK Met Office have their own training course after the university, while Météo-France takes charge of all the training once the person has passed the entrance examination at the National School of Meteorology after high school.[5] In United States, forecasters are hired by the National Weather Service or private firms after university, and receive on-the-job training, while researchers are hired according to their expertise.[6]
