    UX/UI Design

    Avocademy is a great course for learning about UX/UI design. I previously had no experience in this field and in as little as 6-8 weeks you are prepped with all the tools needed to embark on a new career. Maca's one-on-one tutoring sessions were very helpful and the flexibility of the course allows you to complete it at your own time. Not to mention the price was very affordable comparing to competitors!

    Amazing mentorship that landed me a job

    I chose to enroll in Maca's course because I was really unmotivated and couldn't find a job despite applying for a couple months. Now, I'm really glad I made that decision! Her course is pretty affordable compared to other bootcamps, and she helped me realize that I definitely had the skills to become a UX designer, I just needed to present it better. The course itself was very informational and thorough, and by the time I was finished I felt a lot more confident about my resume and port...

    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.

    Inspiring, Fabulous,and Remarkable

    It's the opportunity to learn skills that can expose you to new challenges and opportunities that will change your way of thinking. I've personally fallen in love with the course because I've struggled with being in a classroom setting my entire life, but being able to work online at my own pace has grown my confidence in learning. I'm beyond grateful to everyone at Avocademy for taking the time to help me understand what UX/UI is.

    Amazing introduction into the world of UX UI Design

    My experience here at Avocademy in the UX/UI Foundations program was nothing short of amazing!! Foundations provides a wealth of resources throughout your learning experience. I was most impressed with Avocademy as they went as far as having you take a quiz that classifies what your particular learning style is so that mentors are able to better assist. I have had previous mentors in different programs (trading, real estate) as well as attended quite a few institutions of higher learning...

    AWESOME

    My experience was amazing. I love how thorough the boot camp is and how helpful the mentors are. I also really like the timelines they set and how they help you meet them. At first I was skeptical on if I would succeed in this field but after going through the course, day by day I grew more confidence and the mentors were a lot of help with that.

    SO WORTH IT

    I'm currently in Career Jumpstart after completing the UX/UI Foundations program and can easily attest that this has been a life changing experience for me.  Not going to lie, I was hesitant when finding the ad for Avocademy through social media because I wasn't sure how credible this program was.  However, what I wasn't hesitant about was getting out of a career I was miserable in before and wanting to explore a creative outlet of a job that I could see myself actually looking forward t...

    Wonderful UX/UI School

    Avocademy is a fantastic program! The mentors are real-world professionals who teach you not only the nuts and bolts of the job, but also how the industry works and what to expect in the real world.

    DON’T DO IT! GO TO FLATIRON OR GOOGLE!

    I am a 40yr old, working, single parent who went back to school to retrain myself and stay competitive.
    I have experience in media and marketing and I was attracted by the UXUI Designer career path.
    The Avocademy UXUI Foundations program markets itself as a UXUI certification course that will allow you to "become a designer in 15wks".
    I paid, outright, $1,800 for the program, 90% of which consisted of links to third-party free content on youtube and free articles/blogs on the in...

    Chris, we are sorry that you feel this way about our program. 

    I reached out to our student success team and this is what they shared:
    I reached out to this student via email and via Slack several times with advice on how to best move forward with their coursework and job search. They were told over and over again to work on their portfolio, take advantage of mock interviews and complete all of the activities we have to help them succeed. They said initially that they didn't feel supported throughout the program so I tried to keep an eye on them but they just never followed any of our advice, never got the portfolio in good shape. They applied for 151 jobs according to our job tracking platform, all with materials that were not reviewed.

    We cannot help you achieve your goals if you do not follow the program and complete the requirements as outlined. Again, we are sorry that the format of the program did not work for you.

    Step-by-step!

    I’d love to speak on my journey.  My timeline of starting Avocademy in January of 2022, starting Career Jumpstarts in January 2023 to landing THE job July of 2023 is surely a much different (longer) experience than most lol… I had to learn on my own time while life was busy happening.  
    Even though I took more time than I planned originally, I never quit, and Avocademy never quit on me!!  So now I’m working in a career that values my unique background unlike any ...
