Additional information

I haven’t done any computer science since school, and didn’t take it as one of my A-levels, but am really interested in intelligence and communications, how technical is this role, as I seem to gather it wasn’t as technical as some other signals roles. and do you recommend this role or looking at others. Thank you

Having gained any experience and skill in IT will be beneficial but not necessary. A background knowledge will be all you need as you will be taught everything that you will need and obtain all the abilities over your career.
