Which Complete Commando military prep programme should I join?

Royal Marines candidates should use the dedicated Royal Marines Prep programme. Paras, Army, Royal Navy, RAF and other-service candidates should join The Objective.

Can I start military preparation before I apply?

Yes. Starting early gives candidates more time to develop running, strength, bodyweight ability, mobility and consistent training habits before assessment.
