Hi, Does anyone know the sort of waiting times for weapon engineering, wether it's for the surface fleet or even the weapon engineering on the Submarines.Cheers

Had a few questions about the roles and life in general in the forcesWhat are the opportunities for the engineering officer roles (marine and weapons) in both the surface fleet and the submariner roles after leaving the RN? How easily would they be hired and what kind of jobs would be...

Hi - I’m completely new to the RN so I’m sorry if I sound like a newbie.I’m thinking of joining the school leaver engineering apprenticeship, not quite sure which division yet, and I’m wondering whether I’d get in. My A levels are AAA in Chemistry, Biology and Psychology (so I would be...

Hi everyone, I’ve been told that I have been selected for an accelerated apprenticeship as a submariner, which means the world to me. I start basic training in September and I believe I’ll be up to the task, as I’m physically fit and confident enough in my own abilities to get through the 10...

Hi everyone, my application for SE cadetship was rejected due to not having a full maths A Level. Is it possible to join as an engineer apprentice, with intention of LH SE then RTO. Is this a plausible route for SE? I think it would be of benefit going in as a rating first to get a good...

Hi all,I have a fair idea of the training pipeline for a marine engineer (submariner) up to the point of the first competent job, but from there everything becomes a little obscure.What scope is there for 'specialisation'? Do each of the engineers train to become specialists in a particular...

Hi All,I wanted to take this opportunity to first of all thank everyone for their service. Secondly, to see if I can now offer a helping hand.I work within the commercial building maintenance industry and assist a huge amount of Ex-Forces (Most frequently Navy) Engineers find their next role...

I have my PRNC next month where I will have a job specific interview aswell as the fitness tests. Im looking to join the UGAS scheme and my placement will depend on how well I do in the interview. I guess my questions are what should I expect? What is more favourable in the terms of WE ME? aft...

Out of pure curiosity, are RFA engineering roles such as SEO and MEO eligible to come under Royal Navy engineering for Welbeck Defence College?

Hey guys,I've recently applied for the RFA to become an engineering apprentice. A few things I was curious about.1: How long does it typically take from applying to joining?2: Is there an interview? No mention of it on the RFA website...

For some time I have been considering a career in the RN, within a branch of engineering (perhaps AET).Initially when I first became interested/started to apply I was 29 years old. It was then announced the age limit for engineering would be reduced to 30. This stopped me in my tracks and...

Hi all! I know there are very similar threads out there on this topic but I've been torn up on deciding whether to join the Royal Navy on the Undergraduate Apprenticeship Scheme or to join a University and find a career in mechanical engineering on 'civvy street'. I am currently in my 1st year...
