Bit confused( A-levels , Highers)

crAck_sh0t · 11-24-2008, 02:22 PM

Ive been considering lately of my future career and one that apppeals to me is to try be an officer in the british army when im 18.

Im a little confused to it though as the qualifications in scotland are diffrent to that in england.

Is a Higher in scotland the same as a A-level in England or is it a advanced higher?

Regarding ALIS points on GCSE/Standard grades.. How do i find out this information?

Does the UK use the same system as the US, ie. ROTC or Military Academies, to staff its officer corps?

Im pretty sure A levels require you to have done one year of uni in scotland, (i know people who went to glasgow uni and had to do 4 years instead of 3 because the first was a repeat of A levels -something to do with the different system)

at most uni's theres a UOTC univerity officer trainng core

also many people get sponsered by the MOD through uni, who then go through sandhurst for officer training afaik, havent done much research into it
