Hello and thank you for your question.
Although I am an Officer in title, I am not an Officer in role.
But I have worked along side a lot of Officers in my 20 years as a soldier.
Most Officers will progress into the Army after graduating from University and then attending Sandhurst to become an Officer.
You are able to apply to become an Officer at the age of 18.
If you follow this link below, it will take to the British Army jobs pages regarding joining as an Officer.

I hope this helps answer your question and if you have any other questions, please ask.
