Training

Step 1
You begin with Officer training by enrolling on the Commissioning Course at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, which lasts 44 weeks. You learn what’s expected of a British Army Officer and how to lead Soldiers on and off the battlefield.

Step 2
Upon completion of the Commissioning Course you will attend the ETS Branch Training course at Worthy Down near Winchester. During this course you begin the PGCE programme, which is the first step towards gaining an MSc. During this course you will develop the skills required to deliver education and training to Soldiers, both at home and deployed. You will also continue to develop leadership skills and fitness.

Ask a question

What responsibility do officers train for at Sandhurst?

As an officer we have a duty to look after our soldiers, physically but also mentally. We sometimes have to make difficult decisions, even when they’re not easy.

You’re given responsibility early on, but it’s introduced gradually. From the start, you’re trusted to look after yourself, your kit and support your team, with clear guidance and support in place. As you grow in confidence and skills, that responsibility increases. You’re never left to manage things alone. You’re shown what to do, why it matters, and how it fits into the bigger picture.

What does officer training at Sandhurst actually develop?

Sandhurst itself was mostly about learning how to be a soldier, learning about leadership, military studies and platoon‑level tactics. It was a tough 44 weeks, but ultimately really rewarding and fun.

Officer training at Sandhurst is designed to build you into a confident leader. You’ll develop your decision-making, teamwork and resilience, alongside the skills needed to lead others in challenging situations.
