Initial Training Common To All Trades
Every tradesman trains first as a soldier at the Army Foundation College Harrogate or the Army Training Regiment Bassingbourn in Hertfordshire or at ATC (army training centre) in Pirbright, Surrey. At the Army Training Regiment recruits complete a 14-week course which teaches basic military skills such as military drill, how to handle and fire a weapon, how to live and work outdoors and how to tackle an assault course. In addition they develop their stamina and fitness.
On completing his or her initial training every soldier then moves to 11th Signal Regiment at Blandford Camp in Dorset to commence their trade training.
