The Army Foundation College is located in Harrogate, North Yorkshire and trains young people to become Junior Soldiers for a variety of cap badges.
Through first class military training and vocational education, the Army Foundation College offers a unique opportunity for Junior Soldiers to learn as they earn. They gain the soldiering skills needed in the modern Army and get a head start at a challenging and fulfilling career.
Those training here need to be aged between 16 years and 2 months and 17 years and 1 month of age. This ensures that they are at least 17 and a half by the end of their Phase 2 training, so that they can join in all of their Regiment's activities.
