The Telegraph Group Supports the ISCE
It is worth recalling the extraordinary bravery of those who embarked on such feats of endurance with their rudimentary equipment and no realistic hope of rescue if something went wrong.

At the start of September the Daily Telegraph ISCE short-listed candidates met once again for the penultimate selection event. This time the candidates travelled to HMS Sultan in Gosport to take part in a shortened version of the Navy’s Admiralty Interview Board.

The AIB, as it’s known, is an assessment exercise to establish if candidates have the competencies, skills and attributes required to join the challenging Royal Navy Officer training course. Only 1 in 5 people pass this tough selection process.
Faced with leadership, mental agility and fitness challenges the candidates threw themselves into the training activities. Read more about their experiences on the ISCE website's HMS Sultan selection events page and in the Daily Telegraph.
The AIB marks the final assessment for the whole group. Only four will be selected to go on to the next stage - a winter training expedition to Arctic Norway.
