WHAT HAPPENSAFTER APPLYING

Joining the RAF takes several steps. Below is an overview of the process. The purpose of this process is for us to gauge whether you're the right person for the RAF and for you to show us all of your skills and experiences that have made you who you are.

1

Filter interview

Stage 1 of 7

Selection interviews help us get to know you a little better - and vice versa. You'll get to show your skills and experience, and we'll answer any questions you have about joining the RAF. The first of these interviews happens online and covers the following topics:

• Family life
• Education
• Work experience
• Special interests or hobbies
• Interest in the RAF

2

Health Assessment

Stage 2 of 7

You're legally required to meet certain medical standards, and must pass an occupational health assessment to show you're fit for military duty. As part of this assessment we will check your overall health, focusing on areas like hearing, eyesight and body mass index. We'll also investigate any past illnesses and screen for health issues that may prevent you from carrying out your role. View details below for more information about the health standards you'll need to meet.

3

Fitness Test

Stage 3 of 7

A good level of fitness is critical to joining the RAF, it's also something that must be maintained throughout your career. You'll need to complete a Pre-Joining Fitness Test (PJFC). This will take place at a local gym near to you, and includes a 2.4km run, push up test and a sit-up test. The performance level you'll need to meet differs by age and gender. Please refer to the entry requirements below for more information about the health standards you'll need to meet. You can also find help, and a training plan, to assist you in your preparation here.

4

OASC

Stage 4 of 7

This will be your first visit to the Officer and Aircrew Selection Centre. OASC lasts one day, but you will arrive the day before. During this time the officers will be assessing your leadership, teamwork, communication, motivation, and problem solving. The day will end with an interview. The first half of the interview covers your achievements at school and college, in sports, your community, at work, and as a cadet, scout or guide. The second half explores your motivation for joining the RAF - what you know about current affairs and the RAF's role in the national and international arena, current operations the RAF is involved in and your knowledge about the RAF and the role you've applied for.

5

Familiarisation visit

Stage 5 of 7

This takes place over 2 days and is designed to give you an insight into officer training. You'll be issued with your initial kit, including your boots, attend lectures, and also repeat the fitness test taken at OASC.

6

Acceptance

Stage 6 of 7

Once you've successfully completed each phase of the application process you'll be invited to a provisional offer of service interview at your nearest AFCO. This is to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions of service in the RAF, are fully committed to joining, and prepared to commence training.

7
