Subdivisions in Education and Training
Start with the subdivision that best matches the business family, then keep narrowing until you reach the class page that carries the final four-digit code.
Subdivisions
What this division covers
ANZSIC division P groups a broad set of related industries under a single top-level heading. The main value here is orientation: it tells you which part of the economy the activity belongs to before you read the tighter subdivision and group pages.
Businesses often use this level when they are comparing multiple activities, checking a report category or trying to understand whether a class page has been chosen from the right industrial family.

Frequently asked questions
What does ANZSIC division P cover?
Education and Training is the broadest grouping on this page. It gathers related industries into one top-level family before they are split into subdivisions, groups and classes.
When would I use this division page?
Use it when you need orientation rather than the final four-digit code. It is helpful for browsing, cross-checking and understanding where a business area sits in the hierarchy.
How is this different from a class page?
A division page tells you the broad industry family. A class page gives the exact code used in reporting, tax and other operational forms.
How to use this page
If the activity description still looks broad, step down to the subdivision page. If you know the family but not the final code, use the child links here to narrow the match before you confirm on a class page.
This level is also useful when a business runs more than one activity. It gives you the broad industrial context before the coding decision is made further down the hierarchy.
