Become a specialist in military education and training, developing Soldiers and Officers of all ranks. Officers of the Educational and Training Service (ETS) deliver education, design training and provide cultural skills.
The ETS’s three main roles are the delivery of military education, the design of military training, and developing the cultural and linguistic requirements of the Army. Officers teach Soldiers in the UK as well as educating troops from allied forces. They ensure the development of Soldiers throughout their career and ensure the British Army’s reputation for training remains world-leading.
Officers and Soldiers of the AGC offer support to The Army in many forms, from training and administration, to personnel support to policing.
The ETS is a branch of the Adjutant General’s Corps, also containing the SPS, RMP, MPS, ALS and MPGS. Each Branch of the Corps is supported by the others but each has its own regimental role, traditions and ethos.

Step 1
First, you become an officer over 44 weeks. All Army training will fit around your day job – and comes with pay and bonuses.
Step 2
You’ll be assigned to an Army Education Centre that’s close to your home to complete induction training. In your first year, you’ll do a Junior Officer Leadership Package – a great addition to your Army and civilian CV. Later, you can take a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) or apply to learn a foreign language. As an ETS Reserve Officer you can serve with other units and take courses including parachute training.

Pay & benefits
You'll get paid a day rate according to your rank, starting from £83.31 per day once you have passed Army Officer Selection and rising to £99.60 per day once you've commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. This includes being paid for weekly drill nights. Plus, if you complete all of your annual training, you're entitled to a tax-free lump sum called a bounty.
How to Apply
When you decide to apply, your local unit will help you through the process - you don't need to wait until you've finished Army Assessment to get involved.
To join, you have to apply online. The application process will take some time, but you can also ring the unit you're interested in joining - the team there will help often invite you to join them for drill nights, and you'll get support for your application.
