Education and Training Requirements
High School
In high school, take college preparatory courses in science (especially biology and chemistry) and mathematics. Since CPPs interact closely with the public, take English, speech, writing, foreign language, and psychology classes. Business classes will come in handy if you work as a manager or want to start your own consulting firm. Other recommended courses include social studies, computer science, and health.
