Sandhurst doesn't provide academic education per se, at least
not education as it is commonly perceived. It provides leadership
training and training in military tactics.
I think westpoint does provide some form of education. The officer
course at west point, I think is a few years whereas the sandhurst
course is about a year.
If you want to go to Sandhurst, you will need to pass the RCB,
which will invovle some fitness tests (what I've heard is that you
want to be running sub 9:30 2.4s), participation in command tasks
(eg this is a river, these are planks, get your team acoss w/o
toucing the river), and participation in a Mapex. Not easy to pass
at all.
