what qualifications do you need to become a combat medic and is it worth the stress of joining

Jordon W.

Combat Medical Technician

The information can be found on the army jobs website, all you need is GCSEs grade A-C / 4-9 or equivalent to be able to join up as a CMT. If you don't have these you can usually get them done for free though college or other teaching establishments that will give you a functional skills equivalent, its definitely worth doing if that's the route you want to take. If you choose another career where you don't need qualifications then you will still end up doing you maths and English once you join.
