Careers

Army Physical Training Corps - outdoor exercise in progress

 
As a qualified RAPTCI who has been chosen or selected to remain in the mainstream PT environment, you will be employed as a Sergeant at any of the Army training establishments, for at least two tours.

During this time you will normally work for an RAPTC Officer or Warrant Officer who will continue with your career development with on-the-job training.

When you have been promoted to Staff Sergeant you will be employed in the Field Army, acting independently within a wide range of units, covering every aspect of fitness training in readiness for operational deployments and training for war.

After promotion to Warrant Officer individuals could return to a training establishment as the department head, or remain in the Field Army in a range of Garrison appointments running large facilities. For those with the right skills there are a number of Divisional Headquarters Warrant Officer Posts within the Physical and Adventurous Training Branch.

Those good enough and selected for Warrant Officer Class 1 will be employed within a Divisional or Brigade Headquarters as a Staff Assistant. There are also training establishment appointments, including the Corps senior appointment, the Corps Regimental Sergeant Major.

Those who demonstrate the aptitude will have an opportunity for a second career as a Late Entry Officer within the RAPTC, or even with another Corps, if vacancies become available.
