How long does the full process from soldier, or my case junior soldier, to combat medical technician?

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello, Initial phase 1 training for all soldiers joining the Army is 14 weeks. Soldiers usually then get a break between phase 1 and 2 training, how long will depend on when the next phase 2 course starts. Phase 2 training, where they teach you how to become a CMT takes 22 weeks. After this you are a CMT class 2. Your progression to a class 1 CMT is completed while also working at a regiment. It involves you attending teaching sessions and keeping a portfolio to show you are continuing to learn and gain experience. You may also need to go on a some shorter courses during this time.
