"I was able to complete the Certified Data Scientist program through the Jobcenter. And I would gladly learn something new with XDi again anytime. Why? Because I could organize my time completely on my own. Everyone knows how it is when something comes up and you can’t attend a class. No matter when I wanted, I could just sit down at my computer. At first, I was a bit worried about this kind of learning — would it be clear and understandable for me? But those fears were unfounded. The program is very well structured and broken down into many small parts, making every step easy to follow. Everything was excellent. Many thanks to the whole team! Whenever I needed support, I immediately received help — and everyone was always in a great mood."

What made it especially valuable was gaining this knowledge first-hand from an experienced industry professional."

The content is practical and can be directly integrated into my daily work."

Farras Sasono

I was truly impressed by the Information Architecture, Information Design & Interaction Design course — from the course structure and mentoring sessions to the well-organized assignments.

The practical project was a great opportunity to apply the methods learned in the theoretical part. The support from the mentor was outstanding – even though I took the course online, I never felt left out. The mentor’s feedback on the practical assignments made the course truly special and incredibly insightful. I can highly recommend this program – not only for professional development, but also as an ideal starting point into the world of digital product management."

It was a highly practical and inspiring experience."

Each module included frequent assignments and concluded with a Capstone project.

"The content of the 'Certified Data Analyst' course and the order in which it is conducted seem very well thought out to me. Additionally, my mentor, Thomas Mählmann, was excellent—very kind, objective, and helpful."

Luis Fernando Martinez Hurtado

"I found the 10 hands-on use cases in the "Certified Data Analyst" course particularly interesting, as they presented various challenges covering the entire Exploratory Data Analysis process—a crucial step for making the best use of data. It was necessary to find solutions and make decisions that directly impacted the final outcome of the analysis. Additionally, I gained valuable experience and improved my critical thinking regarding the use of different tools and visualizations in data analysis. Through the course, I was also able to develop my time management skills, as I completed it full-time with a fixed deadline—quite a challenge! I would also like to highlight that the sessions with my mentor were extremely productive—he was always helpful and highly engaged. My previous knowledge, combined with the skills I acquired during this course, has given me a new perspective, and I am ready to apply them in my next job!"
