    Initial Training link: https://apply.army.mod.uk/what-we-offer/regular-soldier/training
    and: https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/our-schools-and-colleges/atc-pirbright/

    for many of our trades the following applies:

    Army Training Centre (ATC) Pirbright delivers the 14 week training course known as the Common Military Syllabus which is completed by all adult recruits (age 17+) when they join the Army. The course is designed to develop the individual and team skills in a progressive manner, preparing recruits for their Initial Trade Training, where they learn the specific skills for their chosen Army trade.

    ATC Pirbright delivers Phase 1 Training for new recruits joining:

    Army Air Corps, Army Medical Services, Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Corps of Royal Engineers, Corps of Army Music, Royal Armoured Corps, Royal Regiment of Artillery, Royal Corps of Signals, Royal Logistic Corps, Adjutant General’s Corps, Intelligence Corps.

    The reason it may take longer is because you could need to re-take some tests if you aren't able to pass first time but this does not happen very often as it is a very progressive and supportive course.
