How many phases of training are there? And what do they include?

Phase 1 - Everyone in the British Army has to complete this. This is called basic training

Phase 2 - This is your trade training. For example - An infanteer would spend 14 weeks training in advanced infantry skills, building clearance etc. An engineer would train to be a plumber or carpenter etc.

Engineers have a block of training prior to phase 2 where they train to become combat engineers first, this would include learning to build Bridges and use explosives etc.
