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.

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 knowledgeable, approachable, and provided valuable insights whenever I needed their assistance.
The online content was of great quality. The curriculum was very well-structured, covering both fundamental concepts and cutting-edge industry trends.
One of the standout features of this bootcamp was the flexibility it offered. Being able to balance my studies with my current job was a game-changer for me.
Overall, this bootcamp exceeded my expectations in pretty much every aspect. With unlimited mentorship, great online classes, and the flexibility to learn at my own pace, I found it to be an amazing investment in my professional growth. If you are a career switcher exploring new horizons, I recommend this bootcamp 100%. - Kira OgwalUX Strategist • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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. <...This was an amazing experience all around.

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 amazing and inspiring to witness their achievements and when the layoffs were happening, Avocademy students were still able to find employment. This channel kept me motivated, and I eagerly anticipate sharing my own success story soon. The program's prompted me to continue with their career jumpstart program. I appreciate their high success rate and the valuable experience they provide, including collaboration with other designers and actually working with real clients. I can confidently say that I'm happy with my decision, and I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone interested in pursuing a career as a UX/UI Designer. You won't regret it! - MannyGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 05, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

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.

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 of the design process, you're actually building your first case study for a portfolio. They also even go through and help you build that portfolio in a professional manner. Being able to have interactions with real design mentors and current designers really helps too. It allows you to really get a better understanding of what you're learning, and allows for you to see design problems being solved from the eyes of a professional whenever you meet with mentors to discuss your projects. Definitely would recommend to anyone! - Lynn PhanStudent • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

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.

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".

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 great job at exactly what it's meant to do, give you a foundational understanding of UX enough to figure out if you would like to move forward in the field or not. I decided that I did and I ended up joining "Step 2" which is Career Jumpstart. It's been a great journey and I have no regrets. I will say that, as with most things, you get out what you put into it.
I loved how organized it was. It didn't feel like once I paid I was on my own. Having access to mentors and other peers is extremely helpful in staying accountable. Avocademy has done a great job with building an active community. For me, that a piece that really made all the difference. Community = networking, support & accountability. - Ale MartinezUX Designer • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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.

I landed a job in 4.5 months and it wouldn't have been possible without all of the support I received from the mentors and community.
