Once your online application has been approved, you'll have an interview with a recruiter, who will talk to you about the corps that you would like to join. You'll have the chance to learn more about your chosen corps, although you won't make your final decision until you're in training at Sandhurst.

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.

As your career progresses you could find yourself working with frontline units, senior officers at headquarters and even government ministers at a strategic level.

You'll earn £34,676 during your year of training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, before commissioning and becoming a Second Lieutenant, on £41,456 a year.

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.

“I thought about being a lawyer, but knew it wouldn’t give me the challenges I wanted. I love the outdoors so, armed with the skills I learned at university, the Intelligence Corps was the obvious choice. I can’t imagine another role that could combine all these mental and physical challenges, or give me the chance to affect the decisions of military and government leaders. There’s no job in civilian life that matches it.”
