Methodology
Pricing data is collected weekly from publicly listed RTO websites, government-funded fee schedules (Skills First, Smart and Skilled, User Choice) and independent research. Each data point is validated against at least two sources before inclusion in the index.
Market price ranges represent the 25th to 75th percentile of collected data points for each qualification. Outliers beyond two standard deviations are flagged but excluded from aggregate calculations to prevent distortion from promotional pricing or premium-tier offerings.
Volatility is measured as the coefficient of variation in pricing across all active providers for a given qualification scope, expressed as an index value from 0 (stable) to 100 (highly volatile).
