How to Join

Make Contact

The first step of your army career requires you to go to your nearest Army Careers Office.

Entrance Exam

At the army careers office they will ask you some basic questions about your background and book you in to sit the basic entry test. It's a touch screen computer test that everyone has to sit before joining.

It's not too hard! We give you a practice booklet to go home with prior to the test, so you can practice before you sit the test.

Interviews

Once you have passed the entrance test you will have an interview with your recruiter and one with the Careers Officer.

Selection Centre

The next stage requires you to attend the Army Development and Selection Centre, (ADSC). It's a 2 day stay at one of the army's selection centres.

You will be tested in a number of areas, including your fitness, confidence, teamwork skills and basic knowledge of the army. You will also have a final interview with an officer, who will tell you how you have scored and whether we think you are suitable for a career in the army.

Enlisting

On your return to your army careers office we will allocate you a date to start army training. You will then be enlisted into the army, starting your army training around 2 weeks later.
