do we stay on basic salary throughout the training which is £21k plus 8k for accommodation for 2-3 years seems low.
does salary changes after 1st year
After you finish in the college (at Whiteley one year, can't speak for Gloucester) and get posted to unit (which might not be immediate due to holding) you get a pay rise up to the trainee pay point and get shift pay, which is total about £39k at the moment for Swanwick, and will increase slightly in the new year with the annual pay rise. Anticipate that it will take about 18m to 2 years from finishing in the college to validating at an Area unit and you *shouldn't* be disappointed.
