<p>The Basic Training course at the Army Training Centre (Pirbright) is 14 weeks.
This is the shortest basic training course for Regular soldiers, and recruits go on
from Pirbright to train in their trade for longer periods which vary depending on
their selected job role.</p><p> </p><p>The average cost of basic training for a soldier
successfully passing the Army Training Centre (Pirbright) is estimated at approximately
£38,000. This can be broken down as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Cost
Category</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£K/Trainee</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Note</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Clothing</p></td><td><p>1.9</p></td><td><p>
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ammunition</p></td><td><p>0.4</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Trainee
Pay</p></td><td><p>9.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other stock consumption</p></td><td><p>0.8</p></td><td><p>Includes

</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>38.1</strong></p></td><td><p>
</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>These costs represent the cost of 1,695 trainees
completing basic training. Costs have been apportioned to the course on the basis
of activity, however there may be further costs not shown, that are captured under
