Every figure, with its source
One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
6 of the 31 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 25 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
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.
82 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
