    The minimum age to attend Sandhurst is 18 which would make you an adult. If you were to attend Harrogate college at 16 you would join as a soldier. There is always scope to commission at a later date as a Soldier. That being said joining as a soldier and then commissioning would be very time consuming, and without the necessary educational background, you may struggle. If your goal is to commission you may want to consider attending 6th form first and going directly to Sandhurst at 18
