I would like to ask if there will be an issue if the applicant or student is unable to speak and write well in English?

Hello Hussain and thank you for your question.

As part of the application process, the applicants need to take and pass a literacy and numeracy test.

If they are not able to pass this stage of the application then they won't be accepted to start training.

My advice is to try and improve on the speaking and writing as communications are a very important to makes us effective as a soldier.

Once they have improved, then I strongly recommend that they apply to join the British Army.

I hope I have helped answer your question and if you have any more, please ask.

-Danny.
