How we check our facts

Every number on this site traces to an official source. This page shows the working.

Where the numbers come from

Each number on the site names the source it came from.

How numbers reach a page

We pull the data from the sources above, work out each figure once, and cite the source where the number appears. Figures describe official occupation groups. Related careers can sit in the same group, so they can show the same numbers, and the page says so. Nothing is typed in by hand.

How providers are listed

Every current private training provider and TAFE institute on the national register is listed, with or without a website. Providers are listed alphabetically, and a provider's age or size does not change where it appears. Courses are the training package qualifications and the accredited courses on the national register, each listed with the providers whose scope includes it.

A listing is not a recommendation or an endorsement, and providers do not pay to appear.

The only grouping is one you choose yourself: your state. When you pick a state, providers based there come first, then everyone else who can deliver there. Each group is still in A to Z order.

When things update

We refresh the site once a year, when new releases of the official sources come out. Course and provider data from the national register is refreshed more often. Each page states the date of its data.
