The Royal Meteorological Society already has the CMet qualification. What is its purpose?
The aim of CMet> is to provide a professional qualification in meteorology at a level similar to that of Chartered Engineer, which will assure clients and employers that individuals have reached a specified level of knowledge and experience. A Code of Conduct binds holders of the qualification. CMet aims to meet the need of customers of meteorologists, and the closely related disciplines of hydrology and oceanography, who have little knowledge of the subject. Communication skills, technical expertise, knowledge of current best practice, proven experience over about 5 years and probity, as defined in the Code of Conduct, are required explicitly of candidates.
