What is the CTP?
The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) is the official UK Armed Forces resettlement service, delivered through a partnership between the Ministry of Defence and Reed in Partnership.
It provides personalised support, training, and employment guidance to Service leavers, helping them move successfully into civilian careers, further education, or retirement. CTP connects individuals with employers, accredited training providers, and a wide range of resettlement resources, supporting over 320,000 Service leavers to date.
Supporting courses
The CTP-supported courses include GWO Basic Safety Training and GWO Basic Technical Training courses.

Exceptions and specialist pathways
Early Service Leavers (less than 4 years' service) can access the CTP Future Horizons programme, which provides support for 2 years after discharge.
Personnel on recovery duties or with significant additional transition challenges may receive support through CTP Assist, which can have more flexible arrangements depending on circumstances.
If you've already been out more than 2 years, you should register with the Forces Employment Charity for support.
