Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the (a) total number of available regular training places and (b) number of such places that have been filled at (i) ITC Catterick, (ii) ATC Pirbright, (iii) ATC Winchester, (iv) ATC Harrogate and (v) RMAS in each of the last 24 months, broken down by course.
The intake for Sandhurst Officer Commissioning Courses (CC) over the last 24 months is shown below.
Financial Year of Start | Regular CC | Start of Course | UK Officer Cadets Starting |
2015-16 | CC153 | September 2015 | 215 |
2015-16 | CC161 | January 2016 | 160 |
2016-17 | CC162 | May 2016 | 170 |
2016-17 | CC163 | September 2016 | 210 |
2016-17 | CC171 | January 2017 | 195 |
2017-18 | CC172 | May 2017 | 210 |
The maximum capacity of a single Commissioning Course is 270. This figure relates only to course capacity and does not represent the Army’s intake requirement for Officers.
Data in the table above have been taken from management information and are single service estimates, not official defence statistics.
For Other Ranks further time is required to collate and validate course data. I will write once work is complete and place a copy in the Library of the House.
