Further training supply by German city
ResearchCity comparisons can help someone discover where in-person training is listed, but a course count is not the same as practical access. The relevant location is where the schedule is delivered, not where a provider has its headquarters. Online offers should be reported separately because they widen reach without creating a local classroom.
Use delivery location, not provider headquarters
A provider may be based in one city while running courses elsewhere. Use the stated schedule location where available and retain the original location text for review. This keeps a city comparison connected to where a learner would actually need to travel. Provider headquarters are useful company information but not a reliable proxy for attendance location.
Normalise city names carefully
Location records can vary in spelling, district detail or surrounding municipality. Apply a documented normalisation rule before grouping them. Keep ambiguous cases visible rather than assigning them to a city without evidence. This prevents small naming differences from creating artificial gaps in the comparison.
Report online supply separately
An online course may be accessible from many cities but it should not inflate the count for every local market. Give online and hybrid delivery their own group where possible. This lets readers compare local classroom availability with remote reach without mixing two different forms of access.
Move from count to practical access
- Check the exact delivery location and start date.
- Estimate travel time and attendance requirements.
- Keep online and hybrid schedules separate from city totals.
- Treat course counts as discovery signals, not guaranteed places.
