    Supportive and informative course

    Avocademy is great, it has a lot of resources and support from mentors. The coursework is easy to understand, and many different UI/UX skills are covered. I graduated in early 2023 and am going on in the Career Jumpstart, I'm super excited for the opportunities I'll get from this bootcamp.

    Positive, Uplifting and Supportive

    This course is truly exceptional in its comprehensive nature, extensive research validation, and continuous iteration. It has surpassed all other courses I have taken thus far. One of the standout features was the provision of 1:1 mentor calls with experienced designers who provided invaluable guidance whenever I encountered obstacles. They not only assisted me in overcoming challenges but also reviewed my resume and cover letters, optimizing my approach to job applications. Moreover, th...

    So Worth It

    Joining any type of bootcamp has always given me anxiety just due to the investment of time, money and effort and being unsure about the outcome, which is why most of the time I just don't. This time around I took a chance after doing my research and talking to previous students, and it was the best decision I could have possibly made for my career. I've learned so much in such a short amount of time and I can't wait to put what I've learned to use in the "real world". Foundations does a...

    supportive community that wants to see you succeed

    I completed Career Jumpstart from November 2022- May 2023. During that time, I learned advanced design skills, worked with 3 real clients to add to my portfolio, and received support with resume, portfolio, interview, and job search skills. You should definitely be prepared to put in the work, but the mentors are all so invested in your success and will do anything to help you land a job. They are so supportive and help build your confidence when you're feeling down. I landed a job in 4....

    Great Experience

    I loved the Avocademy Foundations Course! I have been learning UX/UI independently for a few years in my current position, so I decided it was finally time to learn in a formal setting. I wasn't sure if it was going to be right for me since I knew a bit about UX/UI already, but it ended up being incredibly helpful! The foundations course was perfect for learning the end-to-end process of UX/UI design. I learned so much more than I thought and it gave me a much better understanding of how...

    Overall a Great Experience

    I started with the Google certificate first but needed a bit more guidance so I signed up for Avocademy foundations instead. Honestly, it's a very solid foundation program, especially the mentor support and feedback that do provide a more in-depth understanding if you are having trouble with certain topics. The Speaker series and office hours they provide were exceptionally educational. 
    Though, the only negative I want to point out is that there is a chance of running into misunderst...

    Totally worth it

     The Avocademy UX/UI foundations course is an excellent and accessible introduction to UX design, surpassing self-led online courses in terms of mentorship and structured learning. Having tried both approaches, I found that the guidance from mentors and the pressure to complete projects and assignments on time created a conducive learning environment, particularly for newcomers exposed to a wealth of information in a new field. This course serves as an ideal opportunity to gau...

    A manageable firehose experience

    I used Avocademy's Foundations program as my starting point for learning UX design. The program provides a great background on best practices and patterns, with a variety of materials such as videos and articles that provide a broad perspective. The assignments allow ample room to practice and apply what you learn. The mentorship is critical here - receiving immediate feedback after assignments and along the way helps fine-tune your knowledge base and contextualize what you're learning. ...

    I recently finished foundations awhile back. It started when I was looking into starting a career transition. That’s when I found Avocademy through research. I was really looking into finding a more fulfilling career. The course materials are thorough and easily to understand. Foundations definitely prepared me to get an understanding of what UX/UI is all about.
