Description
Contrary to popular belief, your business should have plenty of competitors. Thriving competition shows you’ve pinpointed a viable market. Defining and segmenting your competitors helps you better articulate your company’s unique value, while reassuring investors that your offerings will fill an existing need others recognize as an opportunity.
In this course, we’ll delve deep into the competition, with strategies for identifying and evaluating competitors and classifying them to discern where opportunities lie to fill gaps in the market.
You will learn:
- Why do I need competitors?
- Which companies are my competitors?
- What if I can’t find any competitors — or what if my company has too many?
- Which categories do my competitors claim?
- How can I identify opportunities within those segments?

What is a ‘regulated qualification’?
A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.
What is an ‘endorsed’ course?
An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body’s logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
