The table below has been provided to me by the Garda Authorities and outlines the number of intakes since 2023 to date.
The training is, of necessity, quite rigorous and some level of attrition is normal given the high standards of performance required of Gardaí.

A number of factors influence the number of people who attest in each ceremony including trainees reverting from one intake to another due to academic or health/injury reasons, as well as resignations or training suspensions.
As of 30 September 2025, 571 trainee Gardaí have entered the college this year, with a further intake scheduled for November 2025.
