Thanks for your question.

Yes, as the parachute regiment is an infantry regiment you have the ability to pursue a career as a sniper.

The Guards and the Paras do all their courses together at a place called HDPRCC - Household Division Parachute Regiment Centralised Courses.

If you get selected and meet the criteria, you will attend a 9 week course in Pirbright, Surrey.

The sniper course is renowned for being one of the hardest courses in the British Army.

Regards
