Meeting a need

There is significant demand for course, job and career information, and current and accurate data is essential to fulfil this need. However, collecting this data from original sources is time consuming and expensive, and maintaining this currency and quality of this data is a drain on resources.

CoursePlus undertakes the most extensive course, job and career data collection in Australia, regularly contacting over 2,000 sources of information to populate a central database on behalf of Australia's Education Ministers. You can now access this quality assured data to meet your needs.

Value adding

CoursePlus doesn't just collect data. It codes data to a series of key criteria, and links various types of data to create logical and seamless interconnections, such as linking course and job data.
This means that the overall database can be "sliced, diced and extracted" according to your needs.

Quality assured

All data collected by CoursePlus goes through detailed quality assurance processes to confirm accuracy and currency. CoursePlus employs Australia's largest dedicated team of career information maintenance specialists to not only collect and quality assure the data, but to recognise and establish the logical links across the different fields and databases.
