Learning while you serve
Learning and personal development never stops.
Qualifications and skills while you serve
When you join the Army, you’ll not only learn how to be a world-class soldier or officer, but you’ll continue to learn while you work. With a range of qualifications available, from apprenticeships to Master's degrees, the Army offers many opportunities to support you to develop & learn while you serve.

Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a way to gain recognised qualifications while on the job and getting paid, making them the perfect alternative if learning in a classroom isn't for you.

Every job in the Army offers the opportunity to progress to gain professional skills leading to higher qualifications, including full Bachelors and Masters Degrees. Technical Corps like the Royal Engineers or the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, will support you in gaining civilian qualifications such as gaining Chartered Engineer status.
Many Officers and Soldiers also become qualified instructors or leaders for adventurous training activities, so this is a great chance to take your interests to the next level.
