1What this fact covers

This fact records how access is paid for, never the price: open pages, enrolment at no charge, or paid. Counts across the register: Open pages, no sign-up described: 3; Enrol at no charge: 7; Paid: 13; Not stated on the pages read: 4.

Tool makers' material is mostly open or enrolled at no charge; schools and course makers charge. Where a page lists a price, it is left out here, since prices change by intake and by country.
