The Royal Navy (RN) has advised that in Training Year 2010/2011 there were around 180 personnel who failed Phase 1 Training and left the Navy.

No RN personnel re-take the training – if need be, they are put back a few weeks, but unless they choose to leave the RN, they keep going until they have passed.

Table 1 provides figures for RN Completion of Officer Phase 1 training and drop out numbers, Direct Entrant and Senior Upper Yardsman (SUY), as at 20 October 2016:

Table 1: Completion and drop-out figures
