National Careers Service: Course Directory

Paragraph 17 of the Skills Funding Agency’s Update Issue 100 (21 March 2012) provides some basic information as follows:

As communicated in Update 98, the National Careers Service will be launched in April 2012. The new website will offer an improved course search facility, with many new features that have been introduced as a result of customer feedback.
Please remember that it is a condition of funding that you ensure that your information is up to date on the Course Directory Provider Portal. [Available only to providers to view]

To improve data quality, so that advisers and customers can find the courses that they are looking for, and to ensure that the information we give them is accurate and comprehensive, please refer to the top tips [NB: You can view these] in the portal.

[I'd be happier with something a good deal more concrete than "description … what you would be happy to include in a prospectus" etc.
Reminder to self: look out "Standards for Data Input on Central Information Database" (title is sort-of right but I know it's not actually that).]

For any related queries or assistance, please contact The Data Service’s Service Desk [email link only].
