Avocademy

I must say, this bootcamp has been an absolutely incredible experience for me. The UX Foundations course took me around four months to complete while juggling a full-time job. Career Jumpstart took two months to complete, which included working on real client projects and building my portfolio. It was an intense but immensely rewarding journey.

After a month and a half of job hunting, I've been fortunate enough to secure an amazing job opportunity with a Fortune company. I truly believe that Avocademy is the best bootcamp out there. The hands-on experience of working with real clients was a standout feature in my interviews and it helped me stand out from the crowd. The team at Avocademy consistently provided invaluable job search tips, best practices, and they put in tremendous effort to ensure that we find great job opportunities.

Moreover, this course equipped me with all the necessary tools to become a proficient UX designer. From learning the fundamentals to mastering the intricacies of the field, Avocademy provided an incredible amount of information. And the mentors are incredibly helpful in making sure that we are designing to industry standards. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a career in UX design.

By putting in the hard work and diligently following the course curriculum, I successfully transitioned into a fulfilling new career. I am incredibly grateful to Avocademy for this life-changing opportunity. Thank you, Avocademy!

I knew I wanted to learn more about UX/UI Design & didn't know where to start until I stumbled upon Avocademy on TikTok and Instagram. After looking over the website and the easy pay plans I knew this was the place for me, the Foundations course provides you unlimited access to mentors and resources to make sure you feel comfortable with your work. I left the Foundations course feeling so much more confident in my UX/UI skills and enjoyed the course so much that I entered Career Jumpstart. If you're questioning whether or not Avocademy is the place to learn UX/UI design, just do it! You won't regret it.  

I jumped into the Avocademy UX/UI Foundations Bootcamp with zero knowledge. I only knew it was "tech" related. So, I went in completely blind. 
But, after going through the curriculum, it provided me with in-depth knowledge in "easy-to-digest" portions of lectures. 
Mentors are always available to answer the student's questions. So, it actually makes it harder to not be able to understand all UX/UI basics. 
The lectures and mentors will also prepare students for real-world situations while working as a UX/UI designer.
I highly recommend this boot camp to whoever is interested in this field or want to make a career change.

For those who are curious about becoming a UX/UI designer, Avocademy is a great place to break into tech!! They provide numerous mentors who are there for you whenever you feel lost or uncertain about any topic! The material is so easy to understand and as a person who does not have a background in tech, I was able to achieve success with the course! I absolutely LOVE the community!!! There’s unlimited support, endless material to better understand your field, motivational speakers, an amazing community to rely on, and everything was done AT HOME at my convenience. As a person that has a busy lifestyle, this was my biggest plus. I am now in Career Jumpstart and I am so happy I decided to take this path with the Avocademy team by my side!! I cannot stress that I would not want it any other way!!

I just finished the Foundations course with Avocademy and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I made use of all the resources that the course offered and was able to step into UX. I'm currently taking the Career Jumpstart part of the program and working my way to gaining more experience and knowledge. In the foundations course, there's a lot of independent work but each task that you do is followed with mentor support. I didn't make use of it enough at first but after meeting with one mentor, I realized that I could be scheduling 1:1 meetings to recap or review, not just when I needed help. When I started to do this, I learn so many more things that I didn't even realize. The mentors, whether novice or experts, had so much to share; each meeting I learned new tips and tricks. The course itself is well organized and structured; they set it up so that anyone, from any place in their education journey, can start and learn. However, it is not easy, you do have to commit to it. To get the best, you have to put in the time and work but in turn, it rewards you well.

Signing up for Avocademy was the best decision I've made in a really long time. You're presented with a self-paced module course, suitable to all different learning styles, and reminded each step of the way where to reach out if you need additional support. I took advantage of the unlimited mentorship, scheduling multiple calls weekly, and each mentor I can came in contact with was extremely kind, talented, and helpful. I feel confident that the Foundations course was the perfect entry in to the UX/UI world, and I'm excited to see where Career Jumpstart will take me next. 

Avocademy is $2k.  Their career program is $5-6k.  Bottomline: Don't be fooled.  Avo is a numbers game.  They have more students than they can accommodate.  They have revolving Mentors, so you never get the same one or personalize time to get clarification on assignments or their kickbacks.  I defended myself as a student, that I wanted to learn & taught; not barked at or just told what to do.  Changing careers, I wanted to make sure I knew my stuff.  But Avo saw that as being a difficult student & not receiving mentor feedback professionally.  So wanting to learn is negative.  Got it.  Also, they change their progress as they go, even after you already paid & signed up for what you thought you did.  The career Jumpstart is not a sure thing students get into SO DON'T BE FOOLED! They surprise you with a design challenge as part of the career application & depending on how you do, they decide whether you're accepted or not.  This is NOT how they promoted their school when I first signed up.  Avocademy is new & they, like I said, change their rules & requirementas they please despite what was said in the beginning.  Lastly, the student success? It depends.  So long as you're not "asking for too much support" then they're there for you.  I'm sorry, so student who want to learn material vs not understanding what they're doing plus asking for guidance & using the school's resources that a student pays for is "needs too much support." This is why Avo denied me for the career program; I wanted to learn "too much" & I one-star reviwed Mentors who refused to explain their reasons for kicking back my work, instead just told me to fix it.  Period.  Nonethless, I passed the design challenge.  I actually paid a tutor to help bc half of the challenge wasn't taught in the program; they stated this but wanted to see how students do & make their decision from there.  How's that fair? And why isn't it transparent from the beginning before someone pays? Avo is a numbers game.  They talk a good talk.  They have more students than they can handle so asking for guidance that's rightfully due to a student is NOT what they like.  What the owner, Maca, said to me was "needs too much support" & "difficult to work with" bc I kept demanding to understand & learn what I was doing wrong & why I was fixing it.  This is a career change for me.  Why wouldn't a school who claims to care about their students, not want to empower their students? So beware.  Avocademy is NOT what they seem to be.  They only are if you make their life easier bc they're trying to climb the ladder as a company.
