Theres a lot of information online it can be overwhelming, What is the clear steps to becoming a fully trained soldier?
I am aware that we are soldier first then trade. I am interested in a trade but im aware we must first complete fitness/solider training. So what are the stages before we move onto the trade?

For Royal Engineers, you will undergo basic training that all none infantry soldiers do, then you will move onto Trade training which is where you will learn your specific engineering trade. On completion of Trade training, you are then a fully trained soldier and will move to your unit.

As a Reservist, you do your training in the evenings and at weekends and you get paid for the time you spend training. You'll need to do your basic training - but this can be arranged to fit in around your day job. You don't have to do all the training at once. It can be completed in shorter modules or in one go.
Further training also takes place in your spare time. It can take weeks or months depending on your role, course and how much time you can give. Your unit will be happy to support you during your training. -
