Upon completion of Infantry training you will be given the opportunity to volunteer for SAS as a Sniper

Lastly:

The other way is to be sent to an Infantry Battalion and then volunteer for the Scout/Sniper Platoon.

The S/S Plt runs indocs annually and pulls in personnel from the BN.

Each Sniper unit runs its own version of the indoc but they are all extremely difficult. Once in the unit you will go through all the training to become a sniper before ever going to S/S School.

Once at the school you will be expected to have all the basic knowledge of a Scout/Sniper and the advanced knowledge of an SAS soldier.

You will show up with everything that you will need to make it through the school including your ghillie suit.

There are no second chances at the school and drops are a daily occurrence.

British SAS Snipers are generally regarded as the best snipers in the world.
