Have any questions? Your local unit will help you through the process.
Step 1
Your initial training will take place at your local regiment, where you’ll learn the basics of soldiering, before heading off to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst to complete the three-week Reserve commissioning course.
Step 2
You’ll then go on to learn how to command either the Jackal 2 or the Challenger 2 Tank as well as developing your leadership and management skills through regular training and events. We’ll give you the same annual training tests as Regular officers – and the same opportunities to join in Adventurous Training and sport.
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.
The opportunity to work towards an undergraduate diploma in Leadership and Management or, for graduates, the opportunity to work towards a post-graduate diploma in Leadership and Management.
