They'll be able to explain your options on the roles you're interested in and arrange visits to the units your interested in.If what you've seen or heard interests you, then you can take the next step by registering your details on the online application form. Once you have done that, you can save your application and complete it at your own pace. This does not commit you to joining the Army. You can always apply at an ACC if you would prefer.

If you are older than 17 years and 5 months you will conduct a 14-week package. Recruits joining the Infantry must complete a combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 course that lasts 28 weeks. Phase 1 training teaches you about the Army’s core values, as well as basic military skills such as tactics, weapon handling, first aid and map reading. You will also develop you fitness, confidence, discipline and general administration to enable you work as part of a team. Finally, you will be helped to improve your basic numeracy, literacy and general communication skills this will vary depending on your results from the Assessment center. Then finally upon completing your Phase 1 training you will be considered a trained soldier and will be posted to a specialist training center There you will be taught the key skills required to perform your initial job. Phase 2 training can take from a few months to more than a year to complete depending on your job.
