I'd love to become a CSI not just because of the programme, it's something I have wanted to do for about 10 years. I keep looking at what exams I need etc but cant find much information on British websites, there all American. Can anyone help. I have also looked on police website as well.

Thanks

Wish I could help, I've just recently posted a question very similar to yours. I'd love to become a detective but im not sure if you have to go through the police ranks first. Hope we can get some answers soon.

dont quote me on this but i imagine your best solution would be first and formost get a degree in science subjects
then once you have acheived the desired qualifications you may want to apply to the police forensic departments.

thanks for the help. Getting a degree is a bit daunting as im 35 and wrk full time so by the time I was old enough and qualified I'd be 45. bummer.

I did a university course whilst working full time you can do it but i wont say it was easy as I am not a swot at all and was really into clubbing at the time and was always out but still managed it - I am glad you put this post on here as i want to study criminology as i am interested in crime but i dont like science i am more interested in the psychology - good luck
