Trends & Statistics
The table below shows the number of people who attended and completed NDORS courses across the UK up to 2023.
The incremental increase in some of these figures year on year is due to the fact that not all courses were available in all police forces.
As the schedule of course reviews take place and content is updated, the course name may change and these changes are explained in the abbreviations table.
