P4: Conduct primary and secondary research for a selected product/service making use of
identifiable sampling techniques.
In this task, I had to use both primary and secondary research for my particular
product/service which would solidify my research but also make it more reliable. I have
highlighted some key URL links where I felt was most influential for my selected topic. Below
highlights key matters such as the success rates of Uxbridge College, also the final link goes
into detail of a record breaking number of successful students as well as some additional
comments from both them and the staff, but also the first link states the student satisfaction
rate across the country. These 3 links are essential as it is completely relevant and provide
useful information for me when conducting this research as it gave me ideas on what to ask
students and to also be able to receive and constructive feedback on any department of the
College which can be passed on to management. This can be highly beneficial for the
College due to the fact that it provides information in which they can build and improve upon
rather than simply assuming for themselves that the College is running well from their
prospectus. My primary research was then created from the help of of some online
secondary research which meant I could produce more relevant questions therefore getting
better answers from the students of Uxbridge College.
