Could you see yourself speeding across the battlefield in a Land Rover to help fellow soldiers? You could be doing just that as an Army Driver. We’ll teach you to drive all kinds of vehicles, from cranes to tank bridge transporters, in all sorts of conditions.
That means you’ll get a range of driving licences. Later on, you could manage our fleet. You can also get qualifications – in IT for example – to help you build a career. And when you’re not learning? There’s Army life to enjoy: worldwide travel, sports and activities, plus the chance to make friends for life.
