The research is compiled by gathering the revenues of companies with IT training businesses and excluding sales of training delivered outside the UK and non-IT related business from those companies that offer both types. IT Skills Research also exclude organisations whose revenue is derived principally from publicly funded training or from military/defence-specific IT training, training franchises whose revenues consist only of royalties and training brokers/portals.

Financial results for some of these organisations are on public record. In those cases, IT Skills Research have used the actual turnover figure for their most recently reported financial year. For organisations whose turnover is not published, they have made their best estimate based on the information available to them. Actual (published) revenues are indicated as "A" - all estimates are marked as "E" in the Act/Est column.

Figures are UK revenues only, are rounded to the nearest £100,000 and relate to fiscal years ending in 2003 (i.e. accounts for the year ending sometime between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2003).
