A few questions

[xeiux]

hello there im looking to join under marine engineering (submariner)

my questions are as follows:-

i recently sent off the forms to sit the RT whats the estimate time ill have to wait before i sit it, or i should say how long do i have to revise before i sit it.

as i want to join as a submariner is there any insight of what the training involves for it, is a higher level of fitness required.


and does the waiting time start now i made first contact or after i sit the RT

any answers given will be greatly appreciated

Best advice read the the Newbies thread - it WILL answer any questions you have

Be ready to move to Scotland.

ill be sure to check out the newbies thread, and why be prepared to move to scotland?

 

[BurghJG]

Well as all submarines are getting moved up to HMNB Clyde and you say you want to be submariner it's a fair bet you'll be posted in Scotland.

 

[xeiux]

ahh thats why then good thing im prepared to move whereever then

one more question as im going for marine engineering so im guessing i need quite good marks in the RT how high is that percentage wise as in a practice book im getting 80-90% correct should that be enough or should i aim for more

Always aim higher...

I sent off my application forms for the exact same job back in September 2010, at the time I was told there was a roughly 18 month waiting time for this trade. Been just over a year and not heard anything since so when I next get a day off work I'm going to pop along to the careers office to see if they've forgotten about me
