* Data includes both withdrawn and rejected applications. 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double counting may occur as individuals who moved tranche could be recorded as both active in the latter tranche but withdrawn/rejected in the former tranche.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 participants excluded from the scheme because of issues relating to non-completion of training and Carbon Navigator requirements.
