Are their any Educational Psychologists out there and what does it take to become one?

The title says it all!

a degree in psychology and a doctorate i believe.
oh, and good spelling skills (;

Why good spelling skills?, How long do you think it could take?

Thank you by the way

you'll need a degree in psychology (probably a 2:1 but you may be accepted with a 2:2 and then you need at least a year's experience of working with young children - possibly as TA or nursery worker. Then you apply for the 3 year doctorate level training so if you have a degree in psychology already and the relevant experience then you are looking at a further 3 years. Starting from scratch would mean 7 years. This applies to UK.

Can also apply with teaching degree if have enough psychology units. OU also do a postgrad diploma suitable for application to ED Psych Msc if you don't have psychology degree . Very competitive to get into these days.
