Additional information

I see that the initial fitness requirements are different for different roles, but is the training the same? I am looking at going into intelligence, but can't imagine keeping up with what I see in videos of army training!

Hi Holly,

Soldiers train at different schools depending on which role they are joining for. More information on our different schools can be found here https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/our-schools-and-colleges/

I believe soldiers who are joining to work in intelligence usually train at Winchester or Pirbright. The Army role finder should give you more information on where you will do your phase 1 training and how long it will last.

Don't worry about keeping up, as long as you meet the entry requirements, the Army will work with you to bring you up to the standard you need to be.

Best of luck with your application.
