Notes:
For presentation purpose, intake figures have been rounded to 10. Rounding is necessary, as a means of disclosure control and the preservation of anonymity; it also improves the clarity of output and conveys an appropriate level of precision to users.
These figures are single service estimates only and are not official statistics produced by Defence Statistics.
The intake figure for Training Year 2017-18 is comprised of Junior Entry Entrants arriving in September and October 2017. Around 270 entrants started in September and around 630 started in October.
