    An awesome UX/UI Bootcamp!

    I really enjoyed the Avocadamey foundations course. The course material is organized and in depth, and the mentors are all very helpful. Each mentor has their own style and strength, so as a student you are exposed to a lot of different design styles. The one thing I would say could be better is at certain parts of the course there may not be enough available mentors, so you are waiting on feedback longer in one phase than at another phase. Overall I think this is the best UX/UI bootcamp...

    Bootcamp was very helpful, inspiring, and exciting.

    Before starting this program I was stuck in life trying to figure out what I wanted to do. The Avocademy staff is so kind and offers a free session to talk to them before deciding to stat the program. This is what helped me make the choice to join the program. While in this program, I enjoyed it a lot. I'm so glad this program has all the resources and mentors to help whenever I felt stuck or really needed help.

    Avocademy is the real deal!

    I'm a graduate of Avocademy UX/UI Foundations program. Let me start out by saying that when I started I had never heard of UI/UX design (and I have a Tech background). I had learned about Avocademy thru Tik Tok and did my research about the UX/UI industry. I found it interesting and decided to pursue a career in UX/UI. My next step was to contact Avocademy about the program. From my first interaction with a member of Avocademy you could tell they care. First, they answered all of my ques...

    Very great Bootcamp!

    I was suspicious just like every other person would be when it came to joining a bootcamp you come across on social media. But I’m glad I took the risk because I learned so much and I’m grateful to all the mentors at Avocademy for all the help and support throughout the course! It only took me 3 months to learn everything I needed to know about ux/ui foundations. TAKE THE RISK BECAUSE IT IS SO WORTH IT!

    Affordable Bootcamp that Exceeded Expectations

    I completed Avocademy's UX/UI Design Foundations program and it was an incredible experience. Students get unlimited mentor support (1-on-1, without having to pay extra!). The mentors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The unlimited mentor support is such a bonus. Everyone is very involved and so helpful, including the owner herself.

     The content within the course is consistently being updated with the latest and most relevant info for aspiring UX/UI designers. The content is als...

    Life changing program

    I can’t say enough about career jumpstart. Upon starting, I was immediately met with warm welcomed from everyone in the program. Modules are clearly laid out and you get to jump right into real client work! On top of gaining real world experience working on products, you get the experience of working with other designers , PM’s, etc. Whenever I needed a second pair of eyes or ears , someone was readily available. They helped me with interview prep,portfolio prep/feedback, and mentorship....

    Sets you up for success, but job hunting can be tough!

    After completing the Avocademy bootcamp, I signed up for Career Jumpstart which is really a must have when switching careers to UX Design. I signed up in January 2022, completed two projects, then started job hunting (I also completed another project a month later while job hunting). It took me a little over 6 months to find a job. They certainly have tons of mentor support for interviewing and recently increased the mentors availability which was great, but it's still a tough market. Wh...

    Good Place to Start...

    I joined the Avocademy UX/UI Design Bootcamp. As an educator seeking to change careers, I really thought I would be able to build a portfolio by the end of the course, receive mentorship, and get a job. They are relatively new BootCamp. I had to take breaks due to current work stress and did not complete the program in the timeline. Once I finally got back on track, the curriculum shifted and changed. A different struggle is that you are not placed with a consistent mentor. Mentors are p...

    UX/UI Student

    I had a great experience learning with the Career Jumpstart program. The course material was very well oriented and the mentorship was helpful. This program is great for giving real life design experience with clients, which is not like many other courses. I came from a graphic design background, so having this course really helped me to understand more about user experience so that I can make my designs more intentional for users. I would recommend this course for anyone that wants to g...

    Career Jumpstart

    I could not be more grateful to Maca and the rest of the team for creating this course+career jumpstart. I was incredibly prepared from the work I’ve done and landed such an amazing job that ties into what I want to accomplish as a UX and UI Designer and I would not have been able to do it without their help!
