The results showed that 82% of recruits going through basic training (phase 1) and 75% of those going through trade-specific training (phase 2) intended to make a career in the services. This is the highest ever proportion of recruits and trainees who have expressed this desire. <\/p>\n

The recruit trainee survey is a tri-service attitude survey which aims to find out what phase 1 recruits and phase 2 trainees think about their training, facilities, food, fairness of treatment and hopes for the future. <\/p>\n

Overall the findings, based on feedback between January and December 2013, were positive, and also indicated improvements that have been made across key aspects of training over the year. <\/p>\n

The vast majority of those taking part in phase 1 and 2 training expressed a high opinion of the training they received, commenting on it being beneficial and challenging. It was also revealed that they thought they were well cared for by staff, with a good support structure available to them during training. <\/p>\n

The perception of complaint handling was one area which saw significant improvement on previous years. The results showed a 6% increase in phase 1 recruits and phase 2 trainees, saying they felt that their complaints were being dealt with in a fair manner.<\/p>\n

This is the highest level ever recorded and the issue of addressing complaints continues to be a focus in training schools to ensure these improvements progress.<\/p>\n

And these outcomes appear to have had a positive impact when it comes to recommending others to join the services, with nearly 90% of phase 1 recruits and phase 2 trainees saying that they would recommend joining the armed forces because of the treatment they have received.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
