Upper age limits

Junkyard Dog

Hi lads can I just ask a potentially very stupid question? Are the upper age limits strictly adhered to in the recruitment process or have you ever heard of exceptions being made? I've always been interested in a cadetship but I've never had the relevant educational requirement. A few years ago I went back to education by night and now have what is needed educationally but unfortunately I'm over the age limit. I reckon I know the answer already but I'm asking in hope more than anything else haha thanks lads

Theres no exceptions as far as I know in relation to cadetships.

There are different rules for Direct Entry Officers but not for cadetships. Sorry mate, looks like you have missed the boat.

Thought as much. I was just taking a shot in the dark. Thanks anyway lads.
