Our data

One corpus. Every non-credit market.

Continuing education has no shared registry and no common schema. CredScape builds one: offerings collected from the institutions that run them, resolved to a single vocabulary, and dated so you can tell how current each record is.

Collected from named sources, with provenance intact.

Provenance is the product.

The quality of a market intelligence corpus depends on the quality of its sources. Every CredScape record can name where it came from and when.

Direct institutional crawls

Offerings come directly from each institution's own catalogue.

Platform catalogues

Searchable catalogues across Coursera and edX broaden discovery beyond institutional catalogues.

Field-level validation

Every field is checked on write. A failed check keeps the record out of the published corpus.

Dated on collection

Each record carries the date it was collected, so recency is judged record by record.

Five record types. Every offering connects to all five.

One shared schema across every question.

The links are the point. Connecting an offering to its credential and occupation turns a catalogue into market intelligence.

Forty fields, and every one of them comparable.

The full record puts title and price in context, so one institution’s offering can sit beside another’s with the fields already reconciled.

Delivery mode, credential type, duration, intake cadence, and price basis all resolve to the same vocabulary, whoever published the offering.

A shared vocabulary is what makes a market comparable.

Structure makes collection comparable.

Resolving gathered listings to one schema lets a dean ask who else teaches this and at what price, then get a comparable answer.

One schema, every provider

Titles, formats, credentials, and prices resolve to a single vocabulary across institutions.

CTDL credential types

Credentials map from each institution's terminology to the published CTDL types.

Comparable pricing

Prices are normalised to a common basis so medians and bands mean the same thing across a market.

Linked to labour market

Connections to NOC and SOC occupations bring program supply and labour demand into the same answer.

Every source the corpus draws on.

Institutional catalogues describe the offerings. Government series show the demand those offerings should answer.

Validated before it enters the corpus.

From corpus to decision, with the evidence already connected.

The corpus answers the questions CPE leaders already face: should we launch this, what should it cost, and who are we launching it against.

Comparable sets, price bands, and labour market demand run off the same records, so the evidence in a board paper traces back to a dated source.
