    Excellent bootcamp with a flexible schedule and valuable (unlimited) mentorship!

    I recently completed an exceptional bootcamp that truly exceeded my expectations. The program provided me with unlimited mentorship, top-notch (and fun!) online classes, and the flexibility to pursue it part-time after work or on weekends. The highlight of the bootcamp was undoubtedly the unlimited mentorship. Although I didn't fully make use of this, knowing that expert guidance was ready for me whenever I needed it, boosted my confidence throughout the program. The mentors were knowled...

    A Valuable Investment

    This was an amazing experience all around. Within 6 months I had an impressive portfolio, a vast understanding of UX design and leading projects, amazing friends, great mentorship, and a fantastic job. I am so grateful for CJ and how everyone rallied around me to put my best foot forward when transitioning into the UX industry. It truly was one of the best investments I made, and I can't wait to continue to grow within the field and give back to others that are in the same place I was. <...

    Join Avocademy - You won't regret it!

    Avocademy has been an invaluable resource throughout my career transition, providing unwavering support and guidance. Even though I took longer than expected to complete Foundations, they remained committed to my success. The mentors played a crucial role, offering insightful tips and suggestions to improve my work, and their genuine desire to see me grow was evident. One aspect I particularly love is the wins channel, where successful graduates share their job placements. It's both amaz...

    Best bootcamp ever!

    I tried to do an online bootcamp fro UX design, As somebody living with ADHD, getting into a whole class, keep my interest and even finishing the course is extremely challenging. I tried Coursera, with was great, but I lost interest very quickly. 
    With Avocademy my experience was completely different. I still did it online and at my own pace. But it was great to have mentors reviewing my activities and available for a call whenever I need it. Not only I'm happy with the class and prou...

    Fun, Exciting, Worth it

    Avocademy is great! I honestly was nervous at first because I've been trying to break into UX for a while now, and never had any clear guidance on how to really get started. Avocademy helped me with that tremendously. They really do well with teaching you what you need to know in order to be successful in UX. They go through each step in the design process and make sure that you have a good grasp on each of those steps before moving onto the next section and while going through each part...

    Wonderful and Flexible

    My UI/UX journey with Avocademy has been wonderful! When I started my journey, I had a full time job and a huge family emergency so the only time I had to work on Avocademy was at odd times at night which I'm honestly grateful for. Avocademy is set up uniquely where all assignments and videos are all online but you can sign up for a 1-on-1 mentor call for any assignments or issues you want to discuss with someone! Avocademy really allows maximum flexibility while also ...

    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....
