Information on collective training hours is not held centrally. Consequently, establishing the number of hours undertaken by individuals would incur disproportionate cost to the Ministry of Defence.
Defence keeps training requirements under review to ensure the highest priorities are pursued and Ministry of Defence funding is focused on activity that delivers the greatest operational effect.
