Protocol for Testing of Participants

(Last update: Jan. 11, 2022)

Regular and widespread testing has been a key component of IESE’s response to COVID-19. IESE is adjusting its testing policy as the pandemic evolves.

When testing is required:

Participants in IESE programs who are not vaccinated or who have not had COVID-19 are required to undergo testing:

1. At the start of Master’s programs and longer format open enrollment management courses (such as the PDD, PDG, PADE, PMD and AMP).

2. After contracting COVID-19 for the first time, in order to return to campus. (In this case, a PCR test is required).

3. On a weekly basis for the duration of your on-campus program. Every Tuesday night, temporary QR codes will be cancelled and you will be required to attach to the health questionnaire proof of a PCR, serological or antigen test taken in the last 24 hours. Antigen tests from pharmacies will not be accepted without the appropriate certificate.

IESE will cover the cost of tests in points 1 and 2. In other cases, please consult your program director.

Instructions for testing (when covered by IESE):

*All PCR tests must be conducted within 72 hours before coming to IESE.

1. Your program will send you a medical prescription by email.

2. Find the laboratory closest to you from the list below. If none of these laboratories is in your city, you can have testing done at the lab of your choice, but IESE will be unable to cover the cost.

Confirm whether you need to make an appointment beforehand. Keep in mind that you should have the testing done in the 72 hours before your classes start.

3. Bring your DNI/NIE, the prescription and your official health card of your autonomous region the day of the test. If you don’t have a health card, you must provide your social security registration number.

4. The laboratory will tell you how and when you will receive the test results.

5. Introduce the test results* in the web-based health questionnaire to be able to access campus.

* The results of your test may be consulted by the IESE physician.
