Royal Military Academy Sandhurst
British Army officer initial training centre
About
The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS or RMA Sandhurst), commonly known simply as Sandhurst, is one of several military academies of the United Kingdom and is the British Army's initial officer training centre. It is located in the town of Sandhurst, Berkshire, though its ceremonial entrance is in Camberley, Surrey, southwest of London. All British Army officers (including late-entry officers who were previously senior non-commissioned officers (SNCO's) or Warrant Officers) are trained at the academy, alongside other men and women from overseas.
The academy formerly commanded the University Officers' Training Corps (UOTC), which along with the General Staff Centre (GSC) and the Centre for Army Leadership (CAL) were collectively part of the formation known as Sandhurst Group (RMAS Group), part of Home Command. They now, like the academy, fall under the command of the Army Individual Training Command.
