Hello,

This is a difficult question to answer as there is no real answer. There are so many variables for every application. You could get through the process in only a couple of months whereas others may take 9 months. The start date for training for each trade can be different; there may be a requirement to get information from your doctor that can cause a delay; you might not be available for assessment and interviews. The list is endless.

The best thing to do would be to contact your local Army Careers Centre and speak to one of the recruiters there who can talk through your individual circumstances with you.

Thank you for getting back to me.
I realise this is a very broad question and will get into with my local careers office after looking to a couple of branches I am interested in a bit more.
