@CJLabay1 That's something that varies between schools. Some schools offer certificates that could be completed while you're doing your undergrad, others are different. I'd advise you to contact the psychology department of your school, I'm sure they're more than prepared to answer your questions. :)

@Davidace327 Do you know if the 2 to 3 years of Master's degree level psychology has to concentrated on Forensic Psychology specifically?

[Davidace327]

Just an FYI to people interested in pursuing this career: you don't need to go to a criminal justice school to become a forensic psychologist.

im 16 and i want to major in this or neuropsychology if anyone has any advice/tips or info on this i would love to know :D

@alinecalves Thanks! So which one are you aiming for, clinical/ed? (I'm guessing since you have to study for another 6 years...) I found the volunteering position at a big site called do-it.org.uk , they have all sorts of things and sectors. Well, I don't know if it'll help you, but it might be handy for future reference.... best of luck to you too :D

[alinecalves]

@alinecalves continued.. clinical psyc you need a doctorate, educational you need a teaching qualification and the masters, counseling is overly saturated! im 30 now and see im prob gonna have to study another 6 years before qualifying fully! i hopethings work out well for you! good luck!

[alinecalves]

@AlinaAnn how funny we have similar names? well, if you re volunteering you re half way there! dont give up. the bps acceps any kind of relevant experience as long as its proven and in the area of criminality/forensics. i have been quite disheartened as my only experience in life is in childcare!

i need to start looking into volunteer work too. i hope things work out for you, forensics is the easiest path in psychology as far as the required training. continues...

[AlinaAnn]

@alinecalves Yeah, that seems to be the only way. Sadly, from what I can tell, it's easy enough to do the masters, but after that it's nearly impossible to get the 2 years experience after, with the jobs market the way it is now. :( So it's putting me off forking out thousands for a masters when I'll probably just end up in the same position as I am now. I'm going to concentrate on volunteer work in prisons for the time being until the situation gets better. Hope things work out for you too. :)
