Table 4 shows that there were 4989 registered organisations in 2014. There were 4601 distinct providers (registered and non-registered) who submitted data to the 2014 National VET Provider Collection. The calculations that follow are based on those 4601 providers and exclude those that were exempt, did not do any training, ceased operations or otherwise did not submit.
