Schools are welcomed as Corporate Members of the Society by paying only one annual member's subscription. There is also a Weather Teachers Advisory Scheme as well as liaison with the wider aspects of education. The aim of accreditation is to provide a professional qualification in meteorology which will satisfy clients and employers that individuals have reached a specified level of knowledge and experience. A requirement for accreditation is that individuals should show themselves to be conversant with current best practice. Members who have been accredited will be periodically asked for evidence that they continue to meet this requirement.
Guidance is offered on possible careers in meteorological science.
