Do you get taught to drive

Greg H.

Royal Military Police NCO

Hello,

It all depends on what job you go into. If your job requires you to drive, then you will be given the training for any licence you need and the army will pay for your tests.

When I joined I already had my B licence but the RMP required me to have B+E. As a result I was given lessons on driving with a trailer and put through my test. Later in my career I also needed CAT C and again, I was given the necessary training and the Army paid for my exam. Since joining the Army I have gained my A, B+E and C licences.

If you have any further questions regarding driver training, I am happy to help.
