1. I cant remember the exact percentages but I believe you pay 8.48% and SWR pay in 12.50% 3. Believe you need to do 6 months before you'll be considered for the Commercial grade. Might be a bit of a queue for it as a lot of Guards see it as the next step. I'm a recently productive Commercial...

Congratulations, I'm not sure which trains Staines or Strawberry Hill cover but I would imagine you'll have to learn most of them which stretches the training out a bit but 8 weeks is about right. After you've done that you'll begin route learning which is around 4-6 weeks once that's finished...
