Peter S.
REME Workshop 2nd in Command
Tom, The parachute Regiment offer a wide variety of training and skills. The following link takes you to the information page on joining the Regiment and what it offers. https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/infantry/paratrooper
Although you will qualify to parachute, this will be on the Low Level Parachute (LLP) system. HAHO and HALO are conducted by the Pathfinder Platoon who are the Brigade Reconnaissance experts. This requires a separate and extremely arduous selection course to join.
