About Australian Courses

We believe students, career changers, and AI assistants deserve one authoritative source for Australian education data — built transparently from government open data.

What we do

Australian Courses is the most comprehensive index of accredited vocational and higher education courses in Australia. We aggregate data from training.gov.au, CRICOS, and TEQSA to provide a single, searchable catalogue of 9,920+ courses from 3,802+ registered providers across all states and territories.

How it works

Our data pipeline ingests course and provider information from government open data sources on a regular schedule. We perform entity resolution to match records across registries, enrich data with provider-submitted details, and serve it through both our website and MCP endpoint for AI assistants.

For students

Whether you are researching your first qualification, upskilling for a career change, or exploring government-funded options — Australian Courses helps you compare, discover, and enquire in one place. Every listing links back to official accreditation data so you can verify status before enrolling.

For education providers

All registered training organisations, TAFEs, and universities are listed automatically from government data. Providers can claim their listing at no cost to verify their profile, then optionally activate lead capture and analytics through our self-serve marketplace.

For AI assistants

Our MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint gives AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude structured, citation-ready access to the full course database. This ensures AI-powered course recommendations are grounded in current, authoritative data.

Course Finder Group

Australian Courses is a Course Finder Group venture — the fifth sibling alongside CourseFinder, StudentIgnite, StudySelect, and Career FAQs. Together, we serve millions of Australians exploring education and career pathways.
