The Military Skills & Fitness Training course provides learners with the essential knowledge, physical conditioning, and tactical awareness required for military preparation and personal development. It begins with an in-depth introduction to military life in the UK, offering insight into the core values, expectations, and hierarchical structure of the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, and Reserve Forces. Students will gain a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of military personnel and how these contribute to national security and global peacekeeping operations.

As physical fitness is a critical component of military success, the course places strong emphasis on training regimes that develop endurance, strength, flexibility, and agility. Learners will be introduced to standard fitness assessments, including the bleep test, press-up, and sit-up protocols, and guided through the process of designing personalised fitness plans aligned with military standards. Nutrition, injury prevention, and recovery strategies are also covered to ensure sustainable training and performance.

Equally important is the development of mental resilience and leadership, which is embedded through activities focused on stress management, confident decision-making under pressure, and teamwork. The course introduces learners to leadership principles within the forces, encouraging strong communication and problem-solving skills essential for military operations.

In addition, students are taught basic military skills such as fieldcraft, navigation using OS maps and compasses, camouflage, and situational awareness—enabling them to function effectively in field environments. Discipline, drill, and routine are taught through traditional military exercises, which help build cohesion, responsibility, and attention to detail. Finally, the course concludes with modules focused on military entry preparation, including insight into assessment centres, interview techniques, and creating military-ready CVs. This training positions learners for success in both application and career development within any branch of the UK Armed Forces.
