As a Sapper you will complete your combat engineering course at Gibraltar Barracks covering subjects such as demolitions, force protection and watermanship. Upon completion you will move on to your trade training at the Royal School of Military Engineering before joining a specialist team of Royal Engineers. Here you will deploy across the world supporting the design and delivery of new infrastructure throughout the defence estate.

There are also opportunities to do specialist qualifications whilst you are at your unit such as becoming an Army diver or Physical Training Instructor, as well as work placements with civilian employers in order to further develop your trade skills.
