The selection process begins with an introduction evening at your nearest unit Headquarters (Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff or Swansea) you will get to meet and chat to current Officer Cadets, and have the opportunity to find out a bit more about the WUOTC. You will also have a short, relaxed interview with an Army Officer during the introduction evening. This serves both as an opportunity for us to become acquainted with you, and a chance for you to ask any questions or concerns you may have. Once the introduction evening is over and done with you will be invited to a selection day usually held on a Saturday during freshers. Group discussion, oral presentation skills and interviews with a serving officer will take place, if you are successful at this stage you will be invited along to the selection weekend. The selection weekend takes place at an Army base in Sennybridge, Brecon and comprises a series of tests and interviews over two days. In addition to these tests, you will undergo a medical exam. The medical examination is to determine if you are physically capable of taking part in training. There are restrictions for those applying who have an history of asthma, diabetes, mental illness, or epilepsy. Throughout the Selection Weekend you will be in a small group of other potential Officer Cadets. The tests will have a physical element, to determine your fitness and upper body strength. There are also further interviews, group discussions, and logic and command tests. If you are succesful, you will begin MTQ1 and begin training at your unit’s base the very next week.
