Case Study: Parroquia Sanio Domingo Savio achieves practical, real-world business training with Odoo

How Odoo can improve a teacher's course

Odoo’s Education Program, which now supports more than 300 teachers worldwide, helped Fernando de la Mata at Salesian Santo Domingo Savio in Madrid tackle a common teaching challenge: how to give students practical, real-world experience in business management, accounting, sales and HR while using open-source tools and affordable SaaS access. Fernando needed a platform that let students explore both user and developer perspectives, build modules from scratch, and work with realistic company scenarios.

By using Odoo Online (free for academic use with unlimited users and apps), Fernando gives students full access to modules, hands-on workshops and final projects where they create a fictitious company based on real cases. The approach delivered measurable teaching benefits: students learned practical system configuration and development skills, coursework became more applied and engaging, and the school gained a cost-free, scalable teaching resource that Fernando strongly recommends.
