Luis, thanks for your question.
There are a lot of tests you will be required to pass to become a qualified soldier and then to move on to be an Infanteer.
You will be taught and tested and if you are not successful at the first test, there will be opportunity to retest. Not everyone picks up the required skill first time, the learning curve at ITC Catterick is very steep and your not expected to get everything straight away. If you do, bonus!
Regards

No you don’t, but you do have to do to give 100% every time on everything, even when you’re tired, That’s what your training staff look for that’s what the infantry looks for, as long as you’ve got that and a bit of common sense even if you fail your training staff will invest in you all the way even when you give up on yourself they won’t give up on you and they will push you to be the best you can be.
If you fail learn from it, if you pass think how can you do better next time there’s always room for improvement in the infantry.

Great question?
When I was in training I didn't pass everything right away but was given plenty of opportunities to pass off and become a full qualified infantry solider as long as you give 100% commitment you will be grand good luck in training
