I only know how to become one in Australia. You don't need any particular area of study, but a trade is a good background, and also a few years in the working field, as they don't really look at 18 year olds. The tests are aptitude tests, psychological tests, physical tests, equipment tests etc, it's pretty full on and takes about a 1-3 yrs to get selected. And if you don't get through the first time, you can reapply, I know a guy who took 6 years to get in. Earnings are pretty crap, so don't go into it if you're looking for money. Hours are like shiftwork, here they are 7am-5pm on the first day, 7am-5pm on the second day, 5pm-7am the third day, and 5pm-7am the fourth day, then four days off. Best of luck, it can be a long and rewarding career if your heart is in it!
