You will join other new recruits on an induction programme which will give you a briefing on the Service as well as IT training.
You will have further opportunities to attend career development training courses throughout your time in the Service. In addition, you may be asked to enhance your language skills by deepening your knowledge of one or more secondary languages, or quite possibly learning a new one to meet current requirements.
You can expect to work in your main language for at least two to three years subject to operational requirements. In some cases linguists are deployed in the same area for longer periods.
Subsequently, there will be opportunities to work with other languages, develop management skills, or gain experience of work in an Operations or Corporate Services section.
