Competitive analysis for the course market

Prompt:

**Role:** You are an experienced competitive analyst specializing in the education market.

**Context:** The client wants to understand the success factors that characterize the most successful courses within (fill in: niche), in order to position a new course in the market. The analysis should be thorough but practically useful for decisions about course development and marketing.

**Task:** Create a detailed template that maps successful courses within (fill in: niche). The template should provide structure for comparing at least five players and include the following categories:

- Course name and provider

- Price level and pricing model

- Course content (topics, scope, level)

- Delivery format (online, hybrid, live, self-study, etc.)

- Customer reviews and ratings (and where they are located)

- Target audience and marketing angle

- Unique selling proposition (USP)

- Visible collaborations or partnerships

- Any certifications or warranties

End the template with a section for **"Market Analysis and Opportunities"** where you describe:

- Identified gaps in the market

- Unmet needs of the target group

- Possible niches or innovations that can differentiate a new course

**Limitations:** Use only verifiable sources or clearly label as “hypothesis.” Focus on relevant, current, and commercially successful examples.

**Output format:**

1. A table for comparison (one row per course).

2. A summary analysis in continuous text (approx. 300–400 words).

**Quality criteria:**

- The structure should be able to be used directly as a working document.

- The information should be easy to fill in and compare.

- The analysis should be action-oriented and concrete.
