Francisco Javier Márquez

If someone says they want to understand technology, and the impact it will have on their current and future profession, I recommend they study at ISDI. The school has great professionals, the students have a really high level and real curiosity to learn, and above all, everyone has experience in their fields, both the teaching staff and students.
Eduard Navarro
Global Data Governance Manager
Completing a course at ISDI is an intense experience that requires dedication, organization and time. If you aren't familiar with them, collaborative tools and agile methodology can be challenging at first. But don't panic. At the beginning of the course it is important to get to grips with different resources, make sure to plan your time well, and be fully aware of the workload. In addition, you’ll have access to high quality resources and professionals of the highest level—I don’t only mean the teaching staff, as it’s equally important to establish relationships and learn from other students. Likewise, I strongly recommend taking advantage of the individual sessions with your mentor. Finally, it is incredibly important to dedicate time to aspects related to communication, such as how to tell the story, adapt to the audience or rehearse timing.
