Although there is a roughly 50/50 split between males and females in England, about 90% of applications for EP training were from females. There was no significant gender difference between those who applied and those who were successful.
As expected, there was a significant difference between the national population age distribution and the population that applied for EP training, with more applicants coming from the younger age group categories. Within the applicant pool, a good number of applicants from all age groups were successful, though there was a slight tendency for younger applicants to be more successful.
Compared to the national distribution, White and Asian ethnicities were slightly under-represented, and Black and Mixed ethnicities were slightly over-represented, within the applicant pool. There was no significant ethnicities difference between those who apply and those who are successful.
Applicants who declared a disability were as likely as those who did not declare a disability, to be successful in their application.
Applicants declaring different sexual orientations were equally likely to be successful in their applications.
Applicants declaring themselves to have dependents were as likely to be successful in their applications as those who declared themselves not to have dependents.
