Hard numbers are hard to quantify in this case, but I would say 15-30% don't get through on their first try. In terms of IOE, well you get 25 hours as a new hire and 50 as a new captain, which if you do the qualified upgrade program, is plenty of time. In reality it should be reversed, 50 hours for new hires and 25 for the qualified upgrades.
Anyway, not to get off track, as pitch mentioned above, I have seen Envoy go above and beyond in terms of getting people through who have a strong, positive attitude. If you need more time, tell someone, show that you are working hard, studying hard and putting in the time. If you do that, you will get through.
Its not a spoon fed course, you need to be on your game and work hard. The "firehose" analogy they have used here for years is completely true.
