Hear From Those Who Passed Selection
Real voices. Real experiences. Watch candidates share their journey through AOSB.
No matter how good you think you are or someone tells you, you can always be better and thus give yourself a better chance of a pass at Main Board.
SEBASTIAN
Prior to starting this course, I was stressed about AOSB, to the point where the fear of failure was putting me off progressing my application.
AMELIA
If you are serious about preparation for AOSB and Sandhurst then there’s no better environment to build and pressure test your abilities ahead of time than this
MYLES
The insight is extremely valuable if you haven’t been to AOSB yet… and if you are a returner it might give you the confidence for a second attempt!
SCOTT
I’d recommend this to anyone going through the application process, particularly 1 to 1 sessions to gain personal feedback, especially for the Plan Ex!
JASPER
It makes AOSB (whether briefing or Main Board) far less intimidating, as you understand what they are looking for but more importantly, what it is that you have to offer them.
JAMIE
A great investment for anyone wanting to become an officer.
Tom
These candidates arrived uncertain.
They left prepared, confident, and ready to lead.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to join the Future Leader Academy?
We work with candidates at every stage of the Army Officer application process.
Some people join right at the start to understand the process and build strong habits early. Others join when they’re preparing for Briefing or Main Board.
If you’re serious about joining the Army and hope to start within the next couple of years, we’d recommend getting started sooner rather than later. The earlier you begin preparing, the more time you have to develop before selection.
How are the online workshops delivered?
Our workshops are delivered live online by experienced coaches.
They’re designed to be interactive and practical, not lectures. You’ll be encouraged to get involved, ask questions, practice key skills and learn from both the coaches and other candidates.
We run two workshops each week, usually on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 18:30. The same session is delivered twice, so you only need to attend one each week.
How is the fitness programme delivered?
The fitness programme is delivered through an easy-to-use training app.
Every session includes clear instructions, coaching notes, and demonstration videos so you know exactly what to do and why you’re doing it.
The programme is built around the key areas needed for military preparation, including running, strength, conditioning and overall fitness. You can also fit the sessions around your work, university or other commitments.
Do you only work with people applying to the Army?
No. While most of our candidates are preparing for Army Officer Selection, we also support people applying to the RAF, Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army Reserve, Professionally Qualified Officers, and other military leadership pathways.
Although every selection process is slightly different, they all assess similar qualities such as leadership, communication, confidence, teamwork and decision-making.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
This depends on your current level and how close you are to selection.
As a guide, you’ll complete your fitness training, attend one live workshop each week and spend some additional time preparing through reading, current affairs and personal development.
The candidates who get the most from the programme are usually the ones who make preparation part of their weekly routine.
Will this guarantee I pass AOSB?
No, anyone who guarantees a pass is being unrealistic.
Army Officer Selection is competitive, and the final decision is made by the assessors on the day. What we can do is help you understand what’s expected, improve the areas you can control and arrive at selection feeling confident, prepared and ready to perform at your best.
