Hi Jessica,
As far as I know AFC Harrogate runs two courses (the short course and the long course) but I don't think either of these courses sets soldiers up to go on to join the QARANC (Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps). Georgina S. may know more about this than me though.
Even if you can't directly join the QARANC, soldiers in the Army are able to apply to move between roles, and it would not be unusual for a soldier to decide to train as a nurse during their army career.
When you apply you will be able to discuss your career goals and go through the options available to you.
