About MasterD
Since its foundation in 1994 MasterD has been a training company with an innovative, effective and proven methodology, “Open Training”, that combines all teaching methodologies (distance-online-in-person) with developing and creating their own technology solutions. MasterD has a very clear objective of meeting the personal and professional goals of its students, in the most flexible and personalised way, relying on its network of more than 30 centers in
With a clearly defined DNA through its Values, Mission and Vision, MasterD develops its activity through four work models which join its heart and its way of being: its Business Model, Teaching Model, Self-Leading Teams Model and Innovation Model.
The proper integration of these models, together with a specific company culture, a focus on continuous improvement, innovation, technological development and customer orientation are, without a doubt, the key to the success of MasterD.
None of these elements, taken one by one, justify on their own the success or the reason for being of MasterD. The emphasis on this way of work has evolved over the years into a very clear purpose: to satisfy the goals of its customers, its staff, its shareholders and ultimately society.
