Royal Military Academy Sandhurst | British Army | What's it all about?
Fancy going straight into a leadership role in the British Army? On tonight's episode I have 4 British Army officers giving a brief overview of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Their experiences and some advice on anyone wanting to attend the worlds most prestige leadership academy.

Probably the most informative video on this subject. Cheers RM.

[@jakeN775]

Great video once again! Fantastic insight, and particular useful for someone like myself going through the Officer pipeline!

[@chadspro]

[@3962RANGER]

[@Rangermedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@benadamson8958]

Loved the video even tho I’m training to be a ranger and not an officer I loved the intro with the officer version of urself coming in haha made me giggle. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to Sunday. FAB ☘️

Ben Adamson appreciated 🤟🏻☘️

Josh Moffett No problems glad it’s helped you.

Brilliant video - thanks very much. Could I possibly put in a rerquest for a video on Main Board (mines 3 weeks) & then a post-RMAS discussion about Platoon Commanders Battle Course at some point? Cheers mate

[@patricktermini2229]

Tom how did your briefing go mate? Mine will be sometime this year

[@Rangermedia]

Yeah I could get something sorted reference PCBC, everyone is scattered everywhere at the minute, due to us being in a long leave period.

[@DJRAJEE]

This was very difficult to hear , but apart from that cheers

[@GL-tm8mn]

What do you need to prepare yourself on before joining? What are the areas to focus on? Thanks for the video

[@Rangermedia]

For everything or Officer in particular?

[@GL-tm8mn]

Officer actually. Thanks so much for your time

-Fitness is massive. If you turn up top third fitness you will have the backing of the DS straight away. Those who start weak finish weak. Especially if you want infantry. -pre read the book overlord by max hastings. It’s a book you are told to read during the course but finding time can be tough and any spare time you have you don’t want to be reading. -uni students can join UOTC and develop basic skills like Nav and go on buckshee exercises which are like camping but it’s nights in the field to get them used to it. -The academic course is all developed there so there is no point pre reading psychology or anything. -Being the first person up and last person asleep goes a long way. If you’ve completed all your admin help the other lads and lady’s in your corridor. That will go a long way and then if they are ever in clip people will want to help because they know you’d do the same. -understand the structure of the army and the structure at company level and lower. Buy everything in the kit list as well. Some of the shit is pointless but you don’t want to be the person running around looking for a laminator because it looks bad and hold you back. Short answer, arrive fit and with a strong idea of where you want to end up at RSBs. And have a good understanding of what the army is as stupid as that sounds. Everything will be baby steps for the first term but you want to be the guy that is always a step ahead.

@@Rangermedia mate you're a legend, that really helps! Where would I find something to get ready for psychometric tests, I'm sort of short on maths so I'd like to prepare as much as I can

From the Republic College Degree can I apply to Sandhurst and is there any restrictions on which cores I could join?

[@Rangermedia]

Prety sure you can yeah, we have officers from the south of Ireland who completed all their education there. All went through Sandhurst. No you don’t have any restrictions on what codes you apply for. There is an interview and selection process whilst your in Sandhurst for your chosen core or regiment.

[@guymoran2257]

I know the a level requirements but what are the leaving certificate requirements if you happen to know? Thanks

[@Rangermedia]

For which role, officer?

[@guymoran2257]

@@Rangermedia yeah for officer.thank you.

[@philhead1951]

I think you can get in on high GCSE grades but it depends on what you put on your application. I doubt Sandhurst will choose a levels or degrees over experienced leaders and opportunists. Best thing to do is be as confident in yourself as you can

[@sundayinyimaelechi8813]

Do the school offer normal undergraduate courses? Do thr school admit international students, like from Africa?

[@jamierobertson6572]

If the country is a commonwealth country then yes, it is the same requirements as the normal army

[@lachlanchester8142]

And it's not a school that offers undergraduate courses, it's just phase 1 army training with some lectures

[@solitary_sins]

Irrelevant to the vid, but what should I expect when trying to join up from down in Dublin? I live in Dublin and not sure what will be asked of me if I were to go down to an army careers centre

[@Rangermedia]

Damnatus should expect nothing else different than anyone else applying to join up. The only thing you’ll have to do is slug it out in traffic to get to a careers centre in NI. Lol apart from that, everything is the same.

[@solitary_sins]

Ranger Media Ok, thanks. I was just worrying about if I had to do anything such as move and how having different education system would affect me

[@Rangermedia]

Damnatus no no need to move until you begin your training which is all conducted in England where abouts depends on what your aiming to apply for. Education wise is fine, they will take what you have and convert it to it’s equivalent level in the mainland.

[@solitary_sins]

Ranger Media thanks, wonder how much of a hastle that will be

[@Rangermedia]

Damnatus honestly don’t think it’s that much of a hassle mate. I’ll find out and let you know

Ive done one year at college with 1 and a half A levels as well as B's and and A in my GCSES. Working as self employed atm, I know for a fact I would make it through sandhurst and do well as an officer, but will I be able to get into the interview/test stage with these results??

[@simonostinelli493]

You don’t know for a fact mate it’s good to be confident but you could break your leg or anything! It’s like me saying I know for a fact you ain’t going into Sandhurst!!

[@philhead1951]

@@simonostinelli493 Is that an answer to my question or not? Yes you're right you can't know for sure but it's called mindset and a confident mindset will get you anywhere. Thanks for the reply anyway 👍

[@philhead1951]

@Lorenzo Bronti I've already checked and it says about ucas points, but I don't think that always applies, especially since they're looking for leaders not qualifications..

[@joelmoeketsi3324]

@@philhead1951 I'm pretty sure gcse wise you need a pass in maths, English language and a science or a language. A levels I'm not too sure, I'm pretty sure there is a minimum requirement. Even if you where below still go to the careers office and if they turn you down u can retake a levels if needed.

[@anarchic_ramblings]

Sort out the sound. Don't make the sting 10 times louder than the video.
