You could extract the IDs of the already-chosen courses and use those to exclude from the other results.
// get registered courses $registered_data = $this->YourModel->find(...); $keys = Set::extract( '{n}.Listing.id', $registered_data ); // get available courses $available_data = $this->Listing->find( 'all', array( 'conditions' => array( 'NOT' => array( 'Listing.id' => $keys ) ) ) ); This isn't a very efficient query, though. Depending on how your first data array is structured, you may have to use 'Listing.{n}.id' instead.
