    Hello Jordan,


    The date your Basic Training starts will depend on your role and when you pass the assessment centre.


    It's extremely unlikely that you'll be able to take leave during Basic Training because there is a busy syllabus to follow, but you'll have some time off half way through and you'll have more opportunities to take leave during your Initial Trade Training. You should mention that you don't want to start until after a certain date to your recruiter, they may be able to load you onto a later assessment to allow you to take your holiday.
