Royal Military Academy Sandhurst
Home of Army Officer Training
With its imposing Grand Entrance instantly recognisable around the world, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is a national icon.
It is world-famous not just as a military academy but as the training ground for future statesmen and rulers. Winston Churchill trained here, as did our future King, Prince William, along with three generations of the Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan.
Officer training has continued unbroken at Sandhurst for over 200 years. As the sign proclaims, when you arrive at the gate, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is the home of the British Army Officer.

RMAS Today
Today, all those commissioned into the British Army are trained and educated at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. These include those who are destined for the regular and reserve forces, those with specialist qualifications such as doctors, dentists, lawyers and chaplains and those who are commissioned from the ranks.

International Cadets
The Academy is enriched by the presence of International cadets with around 90 from some 50 countries training at any one time. In conclusion the training of today's young men and women for the rigours of junior leadership in contemporary conflict is professional and modern, but takes pride in its history and draws inspiration from its past.
