Yes, the Army is very good at helping you get qualifications, everyone works towards getting their functional skills level 2 in maths and English which is equivalent to a grade C, or a level 4 at an absolute minimum. Beyond that you can gain apprenticeships in whatever trade you are in and can work your way up to management level qualifications or even degrees in a subject, all of which can be fully funded, or partially funded depending on cost, requirement and need for the course that you wish to do.
