Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Army Reserve recruits (a) passed and (b) failed (i) Phase One and (ii) Phase Two training in each year between 2010-11 and 2013-14.
The number of Army Reserve recruits who passed and failed Phase 1 and Phase 2 initial training phases between 2010-11 and 2013-14 are as follows:
Year | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | ||
Pass | Fail | Pass | Fail | |
2010/11 | 900 | 240 | 970 | 50 |
2011/12 | 770 | 490 | 830 | 150 |
2012/13 | 670 | 350 | 640 | 160 |
2013/14 | 600 | 310 | 570 | 190 |
Failures include those who do not complete a training course due to their own volition, through injury or for compassionate reasons. A recruit may fail a course and then go on to pass a further course in the same year. Additionally a recruit may fail a course more than once in any reporting period.
Figures have been rounded to 10; numbers ending in five are rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
