AFC - Harrogate - Year 10/11&#x27;s

I’m joining Harrogate in September. I’ve completed my interview and just have the assessment left I have all my GCSE’s apart from English. I’m currently doing a retake in collage as well as engineering. Is joining Harrogate a good option for me now?

Hiya, my friend recommended this college to me as a college that will lead any young person to whichever section of the military they want to go into. For example, I want to get into the RAF and i can't seem to find a decent college for me to get into. So, is this college also for people who want to get into the RAF??Thanks

Clue is in the title - Army Foundation College.

Seriously, what are you wanting to do in the RAF? There's people on here that could possibly give you pointers on a route to qualifications and joining up.

I suggest you read the sticky about AFC Harrogate at the top of this forum. It isn't like a Uniformed Public Service course, it is basic (Phase 1) training and when you complete it you are in the Army. There may be a break between you finishing Harrogate and starting your Phase 2 (specialist) training, but if you have any time off you are subject to the Army's rules.
