Hi Rafe, great question.
The Army Foundation College Harrogate is the only Junior Entry Phase 1 training establishment in the British Army. The College plays a vital role in providing the basic military training and developing future leadership. It offers a mix of military training, personal development, and education for under 18's before going on to complete phase 2 trade training.
The College has 2 intakes a year in September and March.
A 23-week course (including three weeks holiday) for those joining courses with longer Phase 2 training â these are Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Royal Engineers, Royal Signals, Adjutant General’s Corps, Royal Army Medical Corps, Army Air Corps and some Royal Logistic Corps roles.
A 49-week course (including eight weeks holiday) for those joining the infantry, Royal Armoured Corps/Household Cavalry, Royal Artillery and some Royal Logistic Corps roles.
Hope this helps and if you have more questions please let me know.
