Dear Yahoo!:
What are the stages in the application process to become an FBI agent?
Sandra
Pomeroy, Ohio
Dear Sandra:
The FBI application process is fairly straightforward, but it's what you bring to the table that counts. We did a Yahoo! Search on "FBI" and found this informative sponsored link from an organization of criminal justice schools. The prerequisites for becoming a bona fide Fed include:

  • At least a bachelor's degree, preferably in criminal justice or related areas of study, engineering/science, accounting/finance, or foreign languages.

  • Three years of related full-time work experience.

According to the official FBI employment site, candidates are required to pass a written and oral exam, a physical, a psychological assessment, and a thorough background check. You must be at least 23 years old but no older than 37 at the time of appointment. If you qualify, you'll head to Quantico, Virginia, for sixteen weeks of training at the FBI Academy.

You can also find more details on the basic requirements for becoming a special agent, and information about upcoming job fairs, where you can chat with an FBI recruiter in person.
