Reserve

There are two Army Reserve courses offered through RMC Duntroon.

The General Service Officer course is designed to develop your leadership potential and give you the skills to command a platoon as a Reserve Army Officer. The Specialist Service Officer course is for those who already have a degree or sufficient industry experience to serve in a specialist role within the Army Reserve.

The Army Reserve Specialist Service Officer Course is run at the Royal Military College. It consists of three months of training split into several modules of increasing complexity. This is the course for those who already have degrees and want to serve in their specialist capacity within the Army Reserves.
