    Hi Matthew, To be an officer in the REME you will already need to have an engineering degree before you can join so in terms of gaining qualifications there isn't much further you can go than the ones you already have, unless you was to do a masters. However, as a soldier you will gain relevant qualifications to the job you pick. Say Vehicle Mechanic for example you will gain Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Engineering Maintenance through out the early years of your career with the possibility to work up to a Level 5 qualification as you progress through the ranks and complete courses.

    Hope this helps.
