*Data includes both withdrawn and rejected applications because the system does not differentiate between those categories. Also, some double counting may occur as individuals who moved tranche could be recorded as both active in the latter tranche but withdrawn/rejected in the former tranche.
**Data includes 859 participants excluded from the scheme because of issues relating to non-completion of training and Carbon Navigator requirements.
***The number withdrawn includes total withdrawn over year 1 and 2 of the scheme.
