Our aim is to make trade-career decisions easier to investigate without presenting estimates as facts or school marketing as independent evidence.
Sources and dates
We prioritize official occupational statistics, government apprenticeship resources, licensing authorities and recognized accreditor records. Wage figures identify the reference year and occupational group. A source-check date describes our review of that source; it does not mean that the underlying statistic was measured on that date.
Licensing information
We distinguish a school credential, industry certification, registration and license. Requirements are linked to the issuing authority. We avoid assuming that one state’s rule applies to another. Fees, examination arrangements and eligibility can change; the current authority’s instructions control.
AI assistance and authorship
AI tools may assist drafting, summaries, code and research organization. We do not create fictitious authors, interviews, qualifications, first-hand experience, testimonials or expert-review badges. Our publisher is accountable for corrections. Where no licensed professional review has taken place, we do not imply one.
Tools and examples
Calculator inputs are illustrative unless you replace them with your own figures. Methods and exclusions are published beside the output. We do not make up school prices, use national medians as starting salaries or treat a model as a forecast of your outcome.
Commercial independence
Advertising is intended to fund the website. Any advertising or future affiliate relationship must be disclosed. An external source link is not a claim that the source endorses us. We do not offer a paid school ranking or sell school-enquiry leads at launch.
Corrections and updates
Send the page URL, the statement in question and a supporting primary source to our contact address. We check the source, correct material errors and update the relevant date when a substantive revision is made. Licensing and funding pages require particular care because an old rule can change a reader’s decision.
