Avocademy

Great program. Currently in my senior year of college as well as this program and was able to land a job 6 weeks before my college graduation. Worked on 3 projects over about a 4-6 month period with real clients as a UX designer with a team of other designers. This was combined with constant mentorship, design, portfolio and resume reviews, and they helped me redesign projects that I had completed at other UX design internships/jobs. Very lenient with me being in college and not being able to dedicate as many hours weekly. Landed an 85k job offer 3.5 weeks after I offically started the job search process. Mentors are amazing, the other designers are all in similar positions as you and many resources are provided to help you along. Would recommend this program and Avocademy Foundations to anyone! 

Overall, an amazing and positive experience with Avocademy and joining Career Jumpstart (CJ) afterwards. I don't think I would be able to land a job without CJ! The mentors are absolutely so helpful and Maca is incredible for providing the job support you are looking for. I love the CJ course because I had the opportunity to work on MULTIPLE real client work and in a team setting which helped continually build my UX/UI skills AND soft skills. Additionally, the CJ course offers mock interviews that I could schedule weekly to build my confidence during interviews and also resume and portfolio reviews. Honestly, this was the best decision and investment I have ever made and I am so incredibly happy that I chose Avocademy! I was able to find a job within 3 weeks after completing my portfolio in CJ. Highly HIGHLY recommend it!

This review was a long time coming, but I wanted to wait to write it until my first job offer came in - which I knew it eventually would. Avocademy is simply incredible. They have taken a process that can be so difficult (and by process I mean both UX and career pivots) and break it down into manageable steps. In doing this they have created a program where you really learn the ins and outs, become a top tier competitor in the UX job market, and truly become a designer. While the job search can be tolling, I was constantly praised for my expert work. In one interview, I was told to be proud of myself as I had been one of 20 interviewed in a pool of over 600 applicants. Avocademy is life changing, and I highly recommend it to anyone hoping to switch into UX Design.

This UX/UI foundations course with Avocademy was really great, all the mentors are super supportive and really care. I was able to create a project end to end and all the material in the course was easy to understand and filled with various resources as well. I came from a background with no UX/UI experience and thanks to this course I was able to create my first project and join their career jumpstart course where I have worked on three client projects and am in the process of finding a career in the field. I really enjoyed my time with Avocademy and recommend it to anyone.

This was the perfect program for me to join while still working full time because there’s enough flexibility to do coursework only nights and weekends. I was ready to work hard though so I wanted something I could power through in a relatively short time so I wouldn’t burn myself out. The mentors are fantastic and very knowledgeable. It’s much better than teaching yourself a new career from scratch and cheaper than other programs too. I feel like I have the support I need to get a job in UX/UI!
