I've talked to SFMs and apparently you can become an SFM within 2 years of joining which is crazy as you have to serve for 3 years before you can try for normal sf selection
Yes it is a transferrable qualification, however depends which type you done (DIPHE, FDSC OR BSC). Plus, it's worth speaking to the HCPC about the conditions, in case they need you to go back and complete more training.
I was planning on putting STA Patrols Special Observer as my second choice (with Household Cavalry being my first and either King's Troop or AS90 as my third) on my job choices. Would this mean I would be given the second choice over the other two because of the role that it is?
All depends on spaces, you don't normally pick the regiment till phase two, so my guess is you would put Household Calvary Regiment and then royal Artillery
It's called the Foundation Medic course. It's a modified version of the Common Core program, but with more clinical placements. It's done alongside RAF and Royal Navy medics.
Great video, I have a question, I’ve signed up for rifles and passed my medial to join however I’m an amateur boxer and have a dodge nose meaning I can’t breath through it so I’m a mouth breather will this be an issue with coprals ect at training? Thanks
Mate, I had the same injury myself from boxing training whilst in the army. My breathing was screwed up big time and meant I had to sleep with my mouth open each night, waking with a dry mouth each morning. I got this fixed at one of the BMH's (British military hospital) in Germany at the time which returned my breathing to normal. All I can suggest is try and get it fixed before you join up as otherwise you may find physical training a lot more demanding/difficult, e.g. running with respirator on, etc. Good luck 👍
@@wallbars8684 yeah got it fixed in last November been deferred till April but all good just aren’t allowed to spar or have bouts until I pass out mate shity injury though init😂
Do you know if you can re-apply if you have a previous rejection?.... I was rejected in October 2020 on old mental health issues but was wanting to re-apply in 2 years as a combat medic.... amazing video!
You can. You most likely would have been deferred, meaning you have a set amount of time before you can apply again. For instance 2 years or something. That’s not always the case so it could be worth to call up the recruitment teams, explaining to them and see what they say on the matter and joining in the future.
Army Air Corps video? The army website doesn’t give a lot of information. Apparently when you get to Lance Corporal you can become an Aircrewman. The website doesn’t say so a video would be helpful 👍👍
Hi mate I had my army assessment centre coming up real soon but the army cancelled all assessment centres upcoming because they’re making changes could you make a video about it if you know any details ? Thanks !
Do you have the same opportunity to do all arms commando course as a medic, i know you get the opportunity to become a paratrooper medic after training but so far from researching its just p coy that's available any replies will be helpful I have my assessment centre on 26th of April
You can attach to commando units and I’m pretty sure you can do the all arms course. However compared 16AA which have their own medical regiment you tend to see a lot more of them compared than commandos as the commandos mainly take from navy medics. But it is still possible, you would most likely be in a support brigade however. Hope that helps
Hi Craig, as an Guardsman in training I understand i have the opportunity to become a team medic once im in battalion. Do you know if there are any higher medical courses you can do whilst being in the infantry?
@@drewfoster2375 I've only just got into phase two but so far I would advice the Guards heavily. just going through training it's an incredible feeling of pride with how high the standards are that expected of you and you are constantly reminded what it is you're going into. Also in comparison to many other regiments the guards has a huge amount of combative opportunities once in battalion which you might not get from other regiments. Only advice is play the game. Every training team will take pride in trying to make training as hard physically and mentally as possible. it needs to be far and for your own pride you should want it to be hard so just be prepared for the hard times and the mind games but just get through it as the rewards are all there on the other side
I'll be applying to uni this year to study medicine and want to specialise in neuroscience to hopefully become a neurosurgeon. However I would like to work in the army! Since I would be into surgery would I rather work in the operating department? Would I qualify for the bursary?
I'm pretty sure it's anyone who is capable and up to standard to be in that reg, ie a rlc chef can be in the ranger reg it's just the same entry ways as the pathfinders but ground forces instead of air
I'm a Learning Disabilities Nurse and always wanted to do nursing in the Army, sadly it's adult or mental health only. Maybe I can do something in the reservists.
@@CombatReadyHQ thanks If you hold an associate degree in nursing you still go to phase 3 or Does the 3 year at the university gives you an associate or bachelor’s degree?
Is this all within the 4 year contract? Sounds like a lot to fit into that time period and I'm looking to only serve for 4 years and see if I want to rejoin but I don't want to have to do more than that
Hi, I hold a diploma in nursing from Ghana. There was no vacancy for medic when i was applying but i applied for REME. Is there any way i can change my role ?? Hve my assessment this April ?
@@kesijackson8919 so did you get it. And are you in the army now? ... for me when i was applying i didnt see nursing in their job role so i chose a different career
Usually, yes. But you would need to go through some bureaucracy to get your qualifications matched to the local equivalent. In some countries there is no equivalent of the job role of paramedic, so you might get downgraded to a very basic level or you might only be able to work in a hospital. If the qualification is on a bachelor level, you shouldn't have any problems going to other places.
My son is an army paramedic and I had no idea what it was all about until this video. Thank you
Great to know that this has helped 😃
I’m really liking these videos. They are really helpful 🤙
Glad you like them mate
Great video as always! Needed this video! Great info too. 👏🏽

Awesome video mate. Some great information in there.
Thank you mate

How exactly do i go about doing that? Do i go to the medical corps first or elite infantry like paras?
It's the same for 18sigs
@@AndreLivin Join as a CMT then join Black Serpent. ez
@@travisbickle0526 Yeah it is
@@marblerun5149 you can get on 18 sigs selection 6 months after passing out. Also nice pay increases aswell
Got assessment on the 15th
Good luck
after becoming a medic, if you complete the paramedic course can you then use that outside of the army? great video
I believe it does carry over
Once you've done a BSc and register with the HCPC then you are a paramedic until your registration with the HCPC expires
It must do, as a registered HCP you can work under that title across the country AFAIK
Yes it is a transferrable qualification, however depends which type you done (DIPHE, FDSC OR BSC). Plus, it's worth speaking to the HCPC about the conditions, in case they need you to go back and complete more training.

Sorry didn’t get you clearly so for special medic, we need to apply for combat medic first then go for special medic, is that right?
