Army Training Centre Pirbright

Great to be back there and see the many improvements and learn of yet further infrastructure improvements to facilities and recruit support services, the Academy will be a great place for future generations to be trained and supported.

The Scottish lady army nurse is awesome. I really loved the kindness she gave and care. She is awesome. Everything is awesome about here. The corporals and sergeant motivating themselves to act as a teacher to so many recruits. Everything is awesome.

When you arrive at Brookwood train station phone the guardroom and tell them that you are at the train station. They will then send a chauffeur driven limousine out to collect you then when you enter the camp he the chauffer will take your bags up to your room for you and make your bed for you and place a bell inside your locker and when you need your kit ironed or anything else he will tell you to just ring the bell and I'll come running ..

Good friendship and mateship were made here, it was tough 14 weeks but it is rewarding. If you have the opportunity should come and experience instead of going to RN or RAF

It's a great place. My lad has just passed Pass out.

Title: "Capita's Army Recruitment: An Unmitigated Disaster"Review: Capita's management of army recruitment is a colossal failure of epic proportions. Their shocking ineptitude and gross mismanagement have turned a vital process into an absolute nightmare. Applicants are subjected to endless delays, sometimes waiting over a year without a single update. Communication is virtually non-existent, with countless inquiries going unanswered, leaving potential recruits in a state of limbo and despair.The recruitment system is a relic from the dark ages, plagued by constant crashes and data losses. The online portal is a joke, barely functional and incredibly frustrating to navigate. Medical assessments are a farce, marred by organizational chaos and frequent rescheduling, often for the most trivial reasons. Lost paperwork is rampant, forcing applicants to redo steps multiple times.Capita's incompetence has caused a dramatic decline in recruitment numbers, severely undermining the army's operational capability. Their failure to provide even the most basic level of service is inexcusable and borders on negligence. The sheer scale of their failure is a disservice not only to potential recruits but to the nation as a whole. In short, Capita's handling of army recruitment is a catastrophic failure that needs urgent and drastic intervention.

Over 35 years since I was last here and there’s a great atmosphere about with young people becoming soldiers. Very proud to attend a passing out parade and I’m proud that Pirbright gives our soldiers such a great start in becoming the best.

Through those gates is the start of a career in the army and joining a close family. If you are sent here for training, you will leave a stronger person both physically and mentally. And after the pass out parade when you hear the words "to your families, fall out" it makes those 14 weeks worth it seeing the pride in the faces of the familes. Welcome to the Armed forces.
