Voluntary withdrawal can cover a number of reasons. In Phase
1 homesickness and adaptation to Service life are significant
factors; in Phase 2 academic problems play a large part. In a
number of cases trainees voluntarily withdraw to pre-empt failure.

Notes:
— The Ph1/Ph2 boundary was not considered particularly
significant for reporting purposes until Federated Defence Training
Establishments came into the picture. These statistics are therefore
derived from returns collected for a different purpose and may
not be 100% accurate.
— Rating Phase 1 pipeline eight weeks or 14 weeks,
Officer 12 weeks or one year. Therefore note no direct correlation
possible between Phase 1 and Phase 2 start figures.
— Figures reflect individuals' first Phase
2 start—some (~100 pa) change branch and start again, possibly
in a different establishment. These restarts are not included.
— Seven Special Entry Seamen went direct to sea
from Phase 1 training in 2002-03. This type of entry then discontinued.
— Officer figures exclude Medical and Dental Officers
who do not generally follow a recognisable Phase 1/Phase 2 training
pattern. Officer DMETO starts shown are Queen Alexandra Royal
Naval Nursing Service (QARNNS.)
— Pilots, Observers and Air Traffic Controllers
are Phase 2 trained by the RAF at a variety of locations.
— These figures exclude Royal Marine figures as
their training does not move to Phase 2 training as ratings in
the Royal Navy.

*(In July 2004 data collection problems prevented figures from being collated.)
Explanatory notes:
|
— The figures are taken from the Operating Divisions
monthly SATT returns.
— The figures are taken as a snapshot on the last
working day of the month by the Op Div and therefore do not necessarily
provide a real picture of trends, fluctuations and averages through
the month and year.
— There are many ways of measuring SATT, this particular
measurement is of those trainees awaiting trade training for 30
days or more.
— The total training population to which these Armcen
figures relate is in the order, annually, of around 450. The average
monthly figure for the TY is shown (current TY not yet complete).
