David Pardo of Pardo Fox: "As we have done in previous years, we gathered the revenues of companies with IT training businesses and excluded sales of training delivered outside the UK and non-IT related business from those companies that offer both types. We also excluded 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, we have used the actual turnover figure for their most recently reported financial year. For organisations whose turnover is not published, we have made our best estimate based on the information available to us. These are marked with an 'e'."


Figures are UK revenues only, are rounded to the nearest £100,000, and relate to fiscal years ending in 2008 (i.e. accounts for the year ending sometime between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008) or cover the 2008 calendar year.
