    Hello guys,
    Depending on what trade you are going to train in will determine where you go to do that training. The Army Jobs website is relay good for looking at where you will be going. You can search for the job role and scroll down the web page to find where it says 'training for the role'
    For example, under Royal Engineers Driver, it says:
    "You head to the Royal School of Military Engineering Regiment near Camberley, Surrey, for 12 weeks. Here, you learn military engineering skills such as knots and lashings, demolition, mine warfare and bridge building. Finally, you go the Defence School of Driving near Leconfield, East Yorkshire, for 12 weeks where you'll to drive military vehicles, including Land Rovers, in combat and peace time."
    Hope this helps the both of you. Please make another comment if you have any further questions. Thanks.
