Certification Information

In the highly competitive and ever-evolving world of broadcast journalism, one fact remains constant: the weather segment is the most-watched part of the local news and the main reason a large percentage of viewers tune in. This prominence has led many broadcast meteorologists to participate in seal and certification programs as a means of sharpening their competitive edge. MetEd's online training & education materials can help fulfill and document your continuing education requirements for both NWA and AMS programs. The following external links provide further information on these programs:

• AMS Certification Programs
