In the Army, your training starts from day one – and it continues until the day you leave. Our training and development techniques have been honed over decades to help our people operate at peak performance, not just physically, but mentally too. It’s this relentless pursuit of perfection that makes the British Army the best in the world.
Basic Training, also known as Phase 1 Training, is the first step on your Army journey and is a 13-week course. Every soldier, no matter their chosen role, will go through this training. Your training will be delivered by the Soldier Academy by highly engaged and professional trainers whose aim is to unlock your potential, inspire direction, instil the ambition to serve, and embed the Army's core values and standards.
