    Hi Madia, we have a list of roles available to Commonwealth citizens, this does include RLC roles. After Assessment Centre your Candidate Support Manager will contact you with the list of roles you are recommended for. It may be that the roles are filled for the next few intakes and that is why there are no immediate RLC spaces.

    The run has been changed to the bleep test so participants can continue with their application and socially distance. The RLC have set physical standards so your fitness can be progressed at training. Assessment Centres test for all roles, so some applicants may have a slower run time but this may still be within the requirement for their chosen job role.

    The Army recruits year round for many roles - RLC included, I would advise you to contact your support manager who can check your application and assessment results and advise you from there. They also have the list of all roles available for commonwealth candidates and intake dates.
