Course Choice compares the providers that deliver the same nationally recognised qualification, and the university and college courses that lead to the same kind of work. Everything on the site is visible to everyone, with no sign-up and no contact details required.
The rule we run on
- The comparison is always fully visible. You never have to enter a name, email address or phone number to see a fee, a campus, an intake date or a provider.
- No fee is gated. If we hold a price, it is on the page. If a provider does not publish one, we say so.
- Ranking is never for sale. Providers are listed alphabetically unless you choose a sort. No payment changes a position.
- If you ever contact a provider through this site, it goes directly to that provider. We do not sell contact lists and we do not run a call centre. If a routing fee is ever charged for that, it will be a flat, disclosed amount that is the same for every provider, and it will be stated on How we make money.
Where the data comes from
| What | Source | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifications, provider registrations, which states each provider delivers in | training.gov.au, the national register | Rolling refresh, about every two weeks per qualification |
| University and college courses, campuses, intakes, selection ranks | Course Seeker (Australian Government) | Weekly |
| Published fees | Each provider’s own website, read from the page and recorded with the URL and the date we read it | Checked and re-checked on a rotation |
Every number on the site carries its source and the date it was last checked. We do not estimate fees and we do not fill gaps with averages.
What “price not published” means
When you see Price not published by this provider, it means we looked at that provider’s website on the date shown and could not find a price for that qualification. In a sample of 60 providers checked on 25 August 2026, 40 published no price at all. That absence is information: it usually means the price is only available after you make an enquiry. We show it rather than hide the row, so you can see who publishes and who does not.
Not yet checked means we have not looked at that provider’s pricing yet.
What we are not
We are not a training provider, an education agent or a broker. We do not enrol students and we do not receive a commission for enrolments. Course information is checked against the national register but you should confirm fees, eligibility and intake dates with the provider before enrolling.
