NexPath - Career Assessment & Guidance Platform
Trust Center

Every number on NexPath has a producer's name on it.

We integrate official public data and always show whose number it is. Where no honest data exists, we show nothing rather than invent it.

Occupations and the labour market

The official sources behind the occupation and labour-market data

The occupation, skills and job-market information on NexPath draws on the producers listed below. The table shows what each one provides, which countries it covers and, under its name, a short note on its licence or status. Reuse is subject to each producer's own terms.

Study programmes

The official registers behind the programmes

Each programme comes from an official register of its own country or, for a few countries, from the European Commission's Europass register. Where a register does not state the qualification level, we derive it from that country's national qualifications framework where one exists, and we add the match to occupations ourselves. Reuse is subject to each register's own terms.

Online course providers also shown: Microsoft Learn, MIT OpenCourseWare, Salesforce Trailhead, Linux Foundation Training, CompTIA, mooc.fi, iMooX (MOOChub).

Professional qualifications also shown: the Flemish register of professional qualifications (Beroepskwalificaties, Kwalificatiedatabank), run by AHOVOKS for the Flemish government. We show the closest qualification for an occupation and keep its Flemish level; it is not an exact equivalent and not an EQF level. Reused under the Flemish Open Licence for free reuse.

How far this actually reaches

What we hold, stated separately

Two language counts get merged constantly, including by us in the past. They measure different things, so they are listed apart here and everywhere else.

Assessments

46languages today
Built for a market when we enter it — not machine-translated into it. The number grows.
231countries where those languages are spoken
Reach of the languages, not a claim of operations in each.
