The Course
All of our Military Preparation Courses are delivered at Army Reserve Centres between Monday to Thursday from 9.30am to 3.30pm.
The course is a roll on/roll off course for young people ages 16-24 who aspire to join the Royal Navy, British Army or RAF.
The course is fully funded by the government and all kit and equipment is provided once the learner has been signed up to the provision. The duration the course is attended is specific to each individual and dependent upon their requirements to enable them to train to a standard to pass selection in their chosen area of the Armed Forces.

In preparation for joining the Armed Forces it is important that you are not only physically prepared in your fitness but also mentally prepared for the recruitment and selection process.
