Royal Marines

The Army has Sandhurst, the Navy has Dartmouth & the RAF has Cranwell, but where are Royal MarineOfficers trained? Do they have a separate establishment or is their training carried out at either of the army or navy collages?

The Royal Marines is the only part of the British Armed Forces where Officers and other ranks are trained at the same location, the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM) at Lympstone, Devon.

Thanks Kempie, this came up (as a lot of queries do) over a few beers & led to quite a spirited debate, but as nobody involved had served in the armed forces nobody really Knew what the the answer was.
