Army Preparation Courses
Do you want to join the Army?
Do you enjoy sports and outdoor activities?
Do you want to improve your health and physical fitness?
Do you want to find out more about Army life before committing?
If so, then the Army Preparation Course is for you.
This 17-week course is designed to prepare you both physically and mentally to succeed in the British Army entrance tests. In addition to the units covered in the NCFE Level 1 Certificate for Entry to the Uniformed Services, you will have an opportunity to improve your literacy and numeracy, learn first-aid skills, raise your self-confidence, work as part of a team and make new friends. In addition to this, you will become a member of Filton College Army Cadet Force, visit Army Barracks and partake in overnight exercises.
For the NCFE qualification you will be continually assessed through practical observation and written assessment. Regular attendance and arriving to sessions punctually are essential.
There are no formal entry requirements, although applicants will have to attend a taster day to determine their suitability for the course. You should also be physically and medically fit, enthusiastic, willing to work hard and have a good attitude.
This course primarily prepares students for employment in the British Army. However, the skills gained would be equally valuable in the Navy or RAF, or the other public services.
This course runs twice per year, starting in either February or September. To request an application form, please phone our Admissions Department on 0117 9092255.
