ACP 20 sets out the following for those looking to commission who’ve previously held a commissioned
Ex-Serving Officers – Regular, Reserve, Auxiliary and other Cadet Forces
Interview with Regional Commandant
Commissioned as Fg Off
Can fill an established post at a higher rank with immediate effect if vacancy exists
SCC to be completed within 6 months of taking up post
Although it does add
Any candidate who has previously held a commissioned rank . . . will not be expected to attend and complete the OIC . . . however previously commissioned RAFAC officers should be encouraged to attend, as a refresher, if they have been out of the Corps, or if their original course was attended more than 5 years ago.
Was W/O back in 2010 but not looking for commission maybe adult F/S or similar.
The easiest way possible 
now aged 65
In that case:
An applicant who has previously held WO/SNCO rank with the RAFAC and wishes to return will be subject to the usual application paperwork as above; a full board is not required. However, the Rgnl Comdt is advised to interview the individual, following an interview and report with recommendation from the Wg Cdr, and make a recommendation on the appointment, rank to be given and any seniority granted.
So you’ll have to do all the normal paperwork, and an interview with RC or representative.
Many thanks for answering
