Engaging overview of the industry

September 11, 2024

Really enjoyed the course. Gave me a great overview of the industry. Very useful for someone working in MR/insights tech.

Thank you for this great first introduction to your course and market research fundaments course

I considered it very concise and interesting to see Market research evolution.

I am not an English language native speaker, however, I did understand everything very well.

I love how open this course is; sometimes we won’t have the time to see all modules, but covering them in our live session is amazing.

Learning the language of market research

February 8, 2024

Great overall intro to get to grips with what market research actually covers and the ecosystem of companies and people working together to provide data. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is to do with the sections on the application of market research within different industries. Perhaps there are subsequent lessons/modules that will dig a little deeper but I still have lots of questions about this – especially pharma – and would like more typical examples of what collection of research projects would go into making x decision. Timelines I think vary depending on industry and will affect the research approach. Looking forward to the next lesson.

Response from Insight Platforms Academy

Thanks for the feedback – it’s a great suggestion to go deeper on specific categories and use cases. We’ll definitely look into this.

Spot on, interesting and easy to consume

February 7, 2024

This course is probably the best way to learn the essentials of insights. The collection of topics, level of details, its structure and flow make it nice and easy to learn on your own available time, whilst delivering plenty of know-how to gain. Well done!

Good overview

This was fast and efficient. Covered pretty much everything, looking forward to the rest of the course!
