Joining the RAF takes several steps. Below is an overview of the process. The purpose of this process is for us to gauge whether you’re the right person for the RAF and for you to show us all of your skills and experiences that have made you who you are.

1
- Filter interview
- Stage 1 of 7
- Selection interviews help us get to know you a little better - and vice versa. You’ll get to show your skills and experience, and we’ll answer any questions you have about joining the RAF.
- The first of these interviews happens online and covers the following topics:

Family life
- Education
- Work experience
- Special interests or hobbies
- Interest in the RAF.

2
- Health Assessment
- Stage 2 of 7
- You’re legally required to meet certain medical standards, and must pass an occupational health assessment to show you’re fit for military duty. As part of this assessment we will check your overall health, focusing on areas like hearing, eyesight and body mass index.
- We’ll also investigate any past illnesses and screen for health issues that may prevent you from carrying out your role. View details below for more information about the health standards you’ll need to meet.
- 3
- Fitness Test
- Stage 3 of 7
- A good level of fitness is critical to joining the RAF, it’s also something that must be maintained throughout your career. You’ll need to complete a Pre-Joining Fitness Test (PJFT). This will take place at a local gym, and includes a 2.4km run, push up test and a sit-up test.
- The performance level you’ll need to meet differs by age and gender. Please refer to the entry requirements below for more information about the health standards you’ll need to meet. You can also find help, and a training plan, to assist you in your preparation here.
