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.
