published, never filled in; 0 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 39 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 Recognised Assessment Entity per certificate per delivery format (online, virtual classroom, in-person) with the price it publishes, normalised to one basis - because the market quotes the same certificate inclusive of VAT, exclusive of VAT, with and without the flight assessment, and with and without the renewal - plus what it charges for a renewal and a resit. The derivation nobody publishes: the median, minimum and maximum published price per certificate across every RAE that publishes one, the share of RAEs that publish a price at all against those that quote on enquiry, the price per certificate by delivery format and by assessment location, and repriced-since the previous read. The CAA lists who may issue the certificate and states that each sets its own fees; nobody puts the two together.", "embed": "
