WORLD-CLASS TRAINING


You'll start with your initial military training which will teach you how to be a soldier - this will cover everything from fieldcraft to how to handle a rifle. If you join as a Junior Soldier (under 17 years 5 months), you'll do a 23-week basic military training course at Harrogate. If you join as a Regular Soldier (over 17 years 1 month), you'll do the regular 14-week adult basic training.


This is the start of your technical training designed to introduce basic signalling and communication skills whilst building on your existing military skills. You will learn about the Royal Corps of Signals, it's history and what it means to belong to a Corps that is over 100 years old. You will be taught basic principles and skills which you will build on throughout your career; such as siting, operating and talking on military radios, radio logs, map marking, working at heights, health and safety, and of course security. This training will give you a strong foundation prior to the next step in your journey.


You may be one of the four trades that will go down this route. It builds on Foundation 1 and dives deeper into technical training in preparation for your trade course. Be prepared for a blend of building and configuring networks, managing system problems including a helpdesk, equipment care, understanding field generators, field cable and security (including cyber). Naturally, the military skills you built up in Foundation 1 are continually revised and refreshed during this course.


Each trade group undertakes its own specialist training specific to your role and as such the length of your time spent with 11 Signal Regiment will vary, ranging from a few weeks to a year. The majority of our technical training is accredited to civilian standards and you will begin your journey of professional development from the moment you start your course.
