When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

This course develops market sizing and growth analysis capabilities essential for research professionals.

Through practical data analysis exercises, learners will build the quantitative skills needed to identify high-growth market segments and significant performance trends.

Module details

In this module, learners will build the foundational skill of market sizing. They will explore why accurately defining a market is critical, using real-world examples of both massive successes and costly failures.
