For the RAF, various senior fighter pilots later published figures from 100 (Alan Deere, 1940) to 225 (Johnny Johnson, 1944). Len Deighton's Fighter: the true story of the Battle of Britain (1979) also discusses this. He thought Luftwaffe pilots got more and better training than the RAF in 1940.

I know that in Ezer Weisman's autobiography he describes that his RAF training in Rhodesia late in the war was considerably longer and more intense than those pilots who came before him earlier in the war. I believe he described it as being closer to pre war training regimens. Especially in terms of weeding out slow learners. Weisman makes the point that by that time in the war the RAF Commonwealth Air Training Scheme could turn out so many more pilots than were needed that the British could afford to be more selective.
