The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 82 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per credential or course: awarding body, published fee, hours or weeks, delivery (online, in-person, cohort), eligibility (the GPC requires experience; most certificates do not) and renewal. The figures nobody publishes: the median and range of published fees across every provider that publishes one, the split between a CREDENTIAL awarded by a certifying body and a CERTIFICATE of attendance sold by a school, the share of providers that publish a price at all, and repriced-since between reads.",
