Hi Jakub,

That's great to hear! Joining the British Army as a driver or working with motor vehicles can be a rewarding career. Here’s how you can get started in either role:

Joining as a Driver:

1. Eligibility: You need to be between 16 years and 3 months to 35 years and 6 months old. No formal qualifications are required.
2. Application: Start your application online through the British Army's official recruitment website or visit an Army Career Centre.
3. Initial Training: You'll begin with basic military training, which covers essential soldiering skills.
4. Driver Training: After basic training, you'll attend the Defence School of Transport in Leconfield for about 25 weeks to complete your Class 3 Driver course. You'll learn to drive various military vehicles and earn driving licenses, including Category B, C, and C+E.
   

Joining as a Vehicle Mechanic:

1. Eligibility: You need to be between 16 years and 6 months to 35 years and 6 months old. You’ll need GCSEs or equivalent in English, Science, and Maths.
2. Application: Start your application online or visit an Army Career Centre.
3. Initial Training: You'll undergo basic military training to learn essential soldiering skills.
4. Mechanic Training: After basic training, you'll receive specialist training with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). You'll learn to repair and maintain a wide range of Army vehicles, from tanks to trucks.
   
   

Both roles offer opportunities for further training and career progression, allowing you to gain valuable skills and qualifications.

Hope this helps :)
