    A lot of information and experience in a small amount of time

    I had a great experience at Avocademy, learning about UI/UX design and research methods. I chose this course because it was online, self-paced, well structured, and super flexible. Going through entire UX design/research process was great experience. Throughout the course I worked on a capstone project that let me put those skills into action. I was able to design and prototype an iPad application that serves as a public domain sheet music library. In addition to this, having a great men...

    Economics background to UX/UI Design

    For my little experience as a designer, working with Maca was extremely helpful in learning the basic principles of UX/UI Design and having her by my side every step of the way was very reassuring. This program allowed me to get right into practicing these design principles and create a project from beginning to end while also developing my first portfolio. It was a great first step into becoming a full-fledged designer that was both affordable and flexible to work with.

    A Truly Customized Experience

    I was looking for something flexible enough for my schedule but where I would still get a deep understanding of topics. Maca’s mentoring sessions made me accountable and she always tailored them specifically to what I needed more help with.

    I'm Pretty Bummed about how this turned out

    I graduated from the Career Jumpstart course two years ago, and I haven't had any traction on my job search. It's not fun to pay for a program with a job guarantee, and then losing that support after 2 years of nothing. I just want to be able to access the help as I'm trying to gain any kind of traction for breaking into this field. I won't lie, it's pretty hurtful the way I was treated. I paid them for this help, and now I'm closed out of being able to talk to mentors, help with my resu...

    Avocademy Foundations | Great Place to Start Your UX/UI Journey!

    I enrolled in this boot camp because I've been interested in learning about UX/UI for years. Although, my journey started and failed many times before enrolling in Avocademy.

    Avocademy presented information in a format that was easy for me to learn; a mixture of videos, reading materials, and exercises. 
    Avocademy offered a platform that was affordable compared to other boot camps.
    Avocademy allowed their students to have unlimited 1:1 sessions with mentors.

    Outstanding, challenging, rewarding

    Being able to take this online boot camp is such a wonderful experience. At first I was nervous if I was going to succeed or not, but the mentors make sure you stay on task and they try to accommodate you in any way possible. Avocademy wants to see all of their students become successful in the work force after completing their boot camp. Everyone is so communicative and eager! This especially makes the learning experience so much better!

    My time at Avocademy

    Avocademy not only supplied me with the tools I needed to get started in the UX/UI field, but it helped me gained the confidence to be a self-assured designer. I had no prior experience in the design field and was filled with dread about how I would do in this field because of it. The mentors were always there to show me that I had the skills and the determination to do well and learn new things, and I am so glad that I took the leap and decided to join the Foundations course. I am now a...

    Accomplishes what it sets out to do.

    Overall Avocademy Foundations accomplishes the goals it sets out to do. In the beginning, I had zero UX/UI experience and now I completed my project and working with others on a real-world client project. You will learn the typical steps of UX/UI design and each step will give you a deeper understanding of the process. Avocademy Foundations will teach you to be a legitimate UX/UI Designer. The only downside in my opinion is that it is a time commitment, but if you have the time or just r...

    Avocademy Foundations Course

    I enrolled in Avocademy with a very little knowledge of UI/UX design. I've taken a few free online courses so I was familiar with the terms. I personally found the foundations course very helpful as far as the course goes. The content in there is a pretty heavy load for someone who had a full time job but regardless, the mentors were pretty easy to reach and they offer very useful feedbacks on the assigments. I'm now enrolled in their career jumpstart program and I'm looking forward to l...

    Rewarding, Thorough, Empowering

    I still remember the feeling I had when I finished my Foundations project and received my badge. I had just received my completion notice and was looking through my project in my portfolio with the words "Sole Designer" staring back at me and I teared up; I had done it! I was so proud of myself for what I had made and all the work I had put in. I was proud that in a short amount of time, I had gained a solid understanding of what UX/UI design is, and I had developed the skills to put the...
