Scale matters when the comparison set is the product.

Source roles

Discovery breadth and analytical consistency.

Direct institutional crawl data is the source population for market-composition dashboards. It supports analysis by geography, category, credential type, skill facet, and price.

Platform catalogues broaden searchable discovery. Their subscription pricing model places them outside dashboard statistics, protecting the basis of price medians.

Universities, colleges, and their continuing education units.

170+

Company providers

Also represented

Public-interest providers

Nonprofit, government, and other provider types.

Credential focus

Built around non-credit continuing education.

The scope is specific by design.

Public offering information centres on the credential forms used in CPE market comparisons.

Micro-credentials

Public short-form credentials published by continuing education providers.

Certificates

Certificate offerings captured with the credential language used by the source.

Non-credit programs

Continuing education programs that sit outside the institution's credit catalogue.

Coverage boundary

Read each source on its own terms.

01

Platform prices

Platform records retain the pricing model. A dollar amount appears only when the source structure supplies one.

02

Field availability

Some platform records lack skills, duration, or price fields because those details are absent from the structured collection.

03

Collection dates

The timestamp records when the offering entered the batch. The public source may change after that date.
