Recruitment Age
« on: September 17, 2009, 05:34:59 PM »
hello,
new to the forum.

Just wondering what is the average recruitment age. I'm 18 and eager to join the samfs and what sort of qualifications and attributes do they look for in recruits.

Thanks :)

Look on the SAMFS website for the selection criteria. The average age of my recruit squad was probably mid to late twenties. I would think 18 may be a little young because they look for life and work experiences. The youngest in my squad was 21. The oldest was 45. You need to have Heavy Rigid truck license, senior first aid certificate and a basic computer skills certificate just for them to look at your application. If i were you i would go to the website and see what you need to do. You have plenty of time to tick all the boxes. I hope this helps
