Once you have decided that you definitely want to be part of Liverpool UOTC, you must attend and pass our selection process, which is divided into two stages: an Administration session and a Selection Weekend:
- The Administration session simply assesses your health, eligibility and basic fitness and involves a short medical exam with a doctor, a documentation process (see attached), an apitude test and a Risk Reduction Run over a mile and a half (completed in 14 minutes or less). The sessions will last about half a day and will take place at our training centres. To speed things up on the day you can download the main forms below that need completing and either e-mail them to us at liverpoolotc-chfclk@mod.uk or bring them in completed on the day.
- Selection Weekend assesses your leadership potential. There is no need to worry about this and it should be treated as a personal development experience. We assess your body, mind and soul through a series of basic leadership, communication, team and physical challenges. The weekend takes place at a local military training area. All transport and meals are provided free and there's even a good social event on the Saturday evening.
Once you are successful, training begins the following week!
