Some become futurists by earning a graduate degree in futures studies, and others learn on the job through professional development.
There are no standard qualifications, although the APF is exploring the possibility of a certification program. There are the dozen or so degree programs worldwide, which are producing a growing percentage of practitioners.
Many professionals become futurists by acquainting themselves with futures concepts, tools and methods, familiarizing themselves with the literature, and participating in futures conferences and organizations.
