    Life-Changing Experience

    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 c...

    Best Decision - Changed My Life

    I attended Career Jumpstart from Avocademy. One of the best decisions I've made; seriously. Unlimited mentor support, career guidance, interview prep, real client projects, affordable, the list goes on! I am so so SO grateful for the incredible experience that I've had. After 3 months I got an incredible job offer. I'm ecstatic and so so grateful.

    Amazing Experience

    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 Jump...

    UX/UI Design Avocademy Bootcamp!

    This bootcamp has been a blessing in disguise. I love how it prepares you for the field by teaching you how to deal with criticism and imposter syndrome, and most importantly, by helping you keep up to date with the best design practices out there. The interaction with the mentors has been really beneficial and encouraging. If you're thinking of trying out Avocademy, do it! They have tons of resources and ways for you to make this career change.

    Beginner friendly but also the curriculum prepares you for the industry properly

    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 situa...

    Amazing experience!!!!

    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!!!

    Great stepping stone!

    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 rea...

    UX/UI foundations

    After looking around and debating for several months, I am so glad I decided to enroll with Avocademy foundations for UX/UI. It was a great learning experience. The way they have Split up the course is so easy to understand and learn for people from various background. I really enjoyed the course. And would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning UX/UI. It is also very affordable compared to so many other bootcamps in the market.

    Affordable, Cultivates Success, Would Recommend

    Avocademy condenses what I needed to know about UX/UI. What I love most is they focus on APPLYING what I've learned to create my first project in my portfolio. Also, a lot of people don't talk about the mentors enough. They're accessible, respective of my time, and always there to improve my projects or show me Figma tricks/tips! (P.S This boot camp is BY FAR the most affordable)

    Best decision

    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 i...

    You Get What You Pay For

    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 diff...

    Hi Monique,

    I understand that you are upset because you were denied admission into the Career Jumpstart program. Admission to the program is based on 3 things: your performance in the UX/UI Foundations program, completing the application to the Career Jumpstart Program, and your Design Challenge. This is outlined in the UX/UI Foundations program at the beginning, halfway through and at completion.

    1. Regarding your performance in the UX/UI Foundations program, you were not penalized for asking questions or wanting to learn "too much". I privately shared with you 4-5 quotes from mentors that stated that you refused to apply the feedback given to you in the course. 

    2. Regarding your application to the Career Jumpstart Program, in the application itself you stated that it was a "pain in the a**". The admission team deemed this unprofessional.

    3. Regarding your Design Challenge, we are very lenient in grading the challenge. In the lesson that contains the application, we link you to the resources (in the course) that explain the advanced concepts of components and autolayout. The design challenge addresses: alignment, consistency, and your understanding of components and autolayout. It also requires you to record a video explaining your work - as we like to gauge your ability to explain design decisions. In this video, you once again started by saying "I'd like to start by saying this challenge was a pain in the a**" which was also deemed unprofessional.  With all that said, you did not pass the design challenge portion of the application. Lastly, paying someone to help you complete the design challenge is against application rules and stated in the application. 

    We understand your frustration but we have a commitment to all the students in the Career Jumpstart program to ensure that each student that is accepted can contribute equally to each project.
