    SCAM- Wasted Money/Horrible

    Recently paid $1900 dollars for this program and then fell sick and wound up in hospital. When I tried to resume my courses- didn’t even get past 2 courses- they locked me out and said they would not adjust program despite medical records/evidence.

    Not only did I waste so much money on this, but the staff was so rude and money hungry they didn’t care. It would’ve taken nothing for them to let me do the program I paid for but they refused. I am warning everyone of this horrible exp...

    Hi Rebecca - I understand that you are unhappy with the outcome of your enrollment. I'd like to remind you that the enrollment agreement you signed was for an 8-week course. The team went above and beyond to accommodate your many requests to resume. Below is an outline of the communications with our team. 

    • In March 2022, the student let Student Success know she'd be out for 2 weeks, and Student Success said we'd extend to accommodate the absence.
    • Student Success processed the extension in April 2022. Rebecca then let Student Success know she couldn't work and Student Success advised her to request a pause. The student never requested the pause.
    • The student was then marked inactive in July 2022. She emailed us and we confirmed we would reinstate her access to mentorship if she was ready to resume the course.
    • The student didn't respond then reached back out in September 2022 and asked to resume in November 2022. We gave her instructions on how to resume the course with mentorship access.
    • Then in November 2022 the student said she could not resume as previously requested and wanted to resume in February 2023
    • I made the student aware that she could resume in February 2023 but that she would only have access to mentorship for 6 weeks based on her original start date and encouraged her to resume earlier than February 2023.
    • The student did not reach out to resume in February 2023 as she previously indicated.
    • The student reached out on April 7th, 2023 and was denied her request to resume as more than a year had passed since her original start date.

    Amazing Program

    I come from a background in psychology and education. After discovering UX, I felt like I finally found the career path that was meant for me. I then began to research boot camps. After some (read: A LOT) of contemplation, I decided to go with Avocademy, and I am SO glad that I did. 

    Avocademy appeals to all learning styles by providing information in a variety of ways, from textual information and videos to hands-on projects. There is also unlimited mentorship that you can utiliz...

    Life changing opprotunity

    I found Avocademy on TikTok last year and QUIT my masters program to start this journey. If was a huge leap of faith, but I'm so glad I did it. Literally one year later I'm able to say I successfully transitioned out of education and have started my new career in UX/UI design. Avocademy provided all of the foundational knowledge needed to jumpstart this new career for me and I could not thank them enough!

    Best Investment I've ever made on myself.

    Avocademy has made UX/UI Design accessible for everyone, Including me as a BIPOC woman. The foundations course is self-paced but the timeline helped me stay disciplined. I had some setbacks due to life but the mentors at Avocademy were very empathetic about my situation and allowed me to pause my enrollment and continued the rest of my bootcamp after my recovery. I struggled with my interview skills a lot and with the unlimited mentorship, I was able to practice alot and enhance my inter...

    Life Changing Experience

    I recently took an online course on UX/UI Foundations with Avocademy, and it exceeded all my expectations. The course was well-structured and covered all the important topics in UX/UI Design. The content was digestible and easy to follow.

    One of the things that impressed me the most about the course was the variety of content provided, from video lectures to hands-on activities. This made the learning experience dynamic and kept me engaged throughout the course.

    One of the best decisions I made for myself!

    I am so happy that I took the leap and signed up for the program. Money for me has always hindered making investments like this, however, the payment options are super and won me over and truly helped me commit. I've always wanted to get into the tech industry and admired those that do this type of work. The course itself is built to help and guide you along the way, there were so many resources available, tools, blogs, and videos outside of the course material they provide that really a...

    So Worth It!

    The Avocademy Foundation course is great. I get unlimited mentorship and there's a sense of community. I can see alumni share their wins when they get offered a job and connect with other students. I feel supported in the course as they guide me in my UX/UI journey. Ultimately, this led me to join their Career Jumpstart Program and Masterclasses.

    Step-by-step!

    The Avocademy crew are doing the MOST to help their graduates bridge the gap between school and landing the first job.  This is where most people get stuck... after school ends; when new designers are left with the "Now what?" feeling.  They've got super kind mentors (constructive criticism) and lessons designed to help combat the imposter syndrome. I felt that their guidance was so helpful that I ended up coming back and participating in their Career Jumpstarts program to gain valuable ...

    I want to start by saying how amazing it has been to find something I am so passionate about. The mentors and staff are absolutely amazing, they always work with you and there is no pressure to finish as there are no grades and only an estimated timeline for the course. I love the way they compiled all of the information into this course, as it is easy to navigate, visually appealing, and easy to understand. The activities and modules are set up wonderfully, and executed with ease. I am ...
