World Class Training

The training our officers and soldiers receive is world class. The skills and knowledge you gain from these courses will be invaluable to your military career but also beneficial should you decide to leave the Army and embark on a civilian career. The Army also recognises your skills should you wish to return to the Service after a period of working elsewhere.
These are skills for life.

As well as physical training, by the end of the course, you’ll know a lot about important soldierly qualities, like a will to win, dedication to duty, compassion and mateship. You will gain a huge sense of achievement, purpose and confidence by completing this training. Learn More
