Royal Signals Officer: Lead. Innovate. Excel. Are you ready to take on a pivotal role within the Army, where leadership, responsibility, and cutting-edge technical opportunities converge?
Step 1 You’ll need to pass the Army Reserve Commissioning Course at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. You can complete this in modules or in one go – depending on your circumstances.
Step 2 You'll get further Royal Signals-specific technical training during the Royal Signals Troop Commander's Course, where you'll learn how to apply your IT and technical skills in a military context. When trained you will lead your soldiers at your Reserve Signals unit and have the possibility to deploy with Regular units on operations or exercises.
You'll get paid a day rate according to your rank, starting from £78.60 per day once you have passed Army Officer Selection and rising to £93.96 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.
