A job in the armed forces is considered one of the top jobs the people can become and the army is no exception. Within the army forces there are many different career paths that you chose and it is up to you as a candidate to select the career path that you want.

Another benefit of joining the army is that anyone can join regardless of qualifications. There are positions available for those who left school with their G.C.S.E's and are looking for an exciting challenging career path. Or even those candidates who have been all the way through the education system and have achieved college or university degree's. These candidates can often enter at a higher level but the point is that there is an opportunity for everyone.

Whether it is the air force, navy or army that you want to join there is a selection process you must join before you can be considered for the role. Most candidates just turn up to army selection day without really understanding what is required of them.

In this article we are going to examine the role of the British Army Officer and what selection steps you need to complete before you can achieve this job. Army officers can earn anything from £23,000 per year to £97,000 depending on your rank and how quickly you progress. With a number of promotion opportunities available there a no limits to what you can achieve in your officer career.

To become an officer in the army you will need to apply to the Army Officer Selections Board which is also known as the AOSB. If you are successful in your application you will then need to attend a selection process that lasts for 3 days and this will test both your physical and mental suitability to the role of an army officer.

These mental tests will involve a number of psychometric tests which can often be difficult to pass and a great deal of practice is required for these.

You will also need to show you have a high level of fitness as this is essential to your role as an officer in the army and those that demonstrate a poor level of fitness are unlikely to be successful.

The final part to the selection day will involve an interview with the AOSB interview board and you will need to make sure you are fully prepared for this stage as it is the final stage of the process. During the interview you will be asked a number of questions relating to you, how you see the role of the officer and will be tested on whether you match these criteria.
