SIFT took two months then another month wait for a interview, if you pass your interview then it can be a very long wait from letter of employment to actually starting training with ENG 1 tests and security checks, some can be 4 months some can be up to 9 months waiting for start date. Training is a mix of internal RFA training at Raleigh with a small induction into the RFA then a 8-10 weeks at Worthy Down on a RN course leaning about RN supply chain and MJDI techniques also either before or after the course at Worthy Down you will have sea survival courses and other sea faring courses.
