Hi,
All of our junior soldiers (those under 18) train at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate. This is a residential course which takes 20 weeks or 40 weeks to complete depending on what trade you are joining. Take a look at apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join/entryoptions/soldier-junior-entry/afc-harrogate for more information on the college.
