Avocademy’s core program is an 8-week UX/UI Foundations course. Each expert-curated lesson in the curriculum builds on the previous content, helping students gain the knowledge and skill required to land a Junior UX/UI Designer job in a relatively short time frame. The UX/UI Foundations lessons consist of video and reading material. After learning key concepts and best practices, students test their knowledge by completing activities rooted in real-world UX/UI deliverables. Throughout the 8-week course, students complete an entire UX/UI project from research to high-fidelity prototyping and testing. 

Students receive unlimited one-on-one mentorship each week to gather feedback on their project work and to ensure they have a strong understanding of the course material.

    From education to tech

    I recently finished Avocademy's bootcamp, and it was a real game-changer for me. The instructors weren't just knowledgeable; they genuinely cared about teaching. They patiently answered all my questions and concerns, making their mentorship incredibly valuable. The hands-on projects boosted my confidence, and with the supportive community and career services, I smoothly transitioned from education to a tech career. Now, I proudly work as a Web Designer at a top internet marketing agency in my area. If you're searching for a bootcamp that gets results, I highly recommend Avocademy.

    supportive, it works, and they care!

    I took both UX/UI Foundations and Career Jumpstart from Avocademy. I am happy to say that I graduated from career jumpstart with a full time job and a dramatic increase in my salary! The mentors at Avocademy truly care and they provide valuable feedback on the deliverables we made for projects and also valuable advice during the job search process.

    Overall a great experience

    This was a great foundation course for UX skills. The curriculum is very up to date on industry best practices and full of helpful resources. I learned a lot and got lots of hands-on experience in all steps of the design process.

    Great Information and Lots of Help

    This boot camp taught me everything I needed to know. The mentors are very responsive, and help you every step of the way. The only issue I had was after I finished the boot camp my portfolio wasn't large enough to really grab the attention of employers. Other than that I highly recommend the course.

    Avocademy is top notch!

    Avocademy is absolutely amazing! I took the Foundations course, in which I learned the foundations of UX/UI. From there, I enrolled in the Career Jumpstart. Both of these programs helped me build skills while working on real-life projects. They offered unlimited 1 on 1  mentorship. Additionally, they helped equip me with how to build my portfolio and resume, as well as helping me prepare for interviews as I transitioned careers. You will not be disappointed with Avocademy.

    Don't recommend

    I had a pretty frustrating experience with Avocademy. Last year when I was in-between jobs, I thought I'd give UX a shot and signed up for Avocademy since everyone seemed to rave about it. However, just two days after the withdrawal deadline, I got this awesome job offer in a completely different field. I knew right away I wouldn't have the time for the course, so I asked for a refund. I mean, come on, I barely missed the deadline and hadn't even started the darn thing! But they were totally inflexible and flat out refused to give me my money back. Instead, they offered me a six-month extension. Six months went by and I was still swamped with work and had zero time for their course. I reached out again, hoping for a refund or another extension, but nope, they shut me down. The whole experience with the Avocademy team left a sour taste in my mouth. They couldn't spare an ounce of empathy or goodwill. It's safe to say I won't be recommending them to anyone.

    Best decision

    This bootcamp has been the best decision I have ever made. The Foundations course is great for learning all the basics and applying the concepts to your project. The Carrer Jumpstart is an excellent program where you get to work on real-life projects and learn to be a good team player as a designer. The best part is the academy's support - they set you up for success. Design and career mentorship are always available and they are all super nice! I found a great job within 3 months of applying and I have to credit this to the amazing mentors and the program curriculum.

    Not Positive

    after not getting a job with months and months of applying, they just kind of abandon you. they're realistic that you will need to apply to a ton of jobs--which I have, over 2k--but im not getting any interviews or offers or anything. i've expressed my disappointment and frustration, especially since i now have to pay 8k i don't have with a job i was supposedly going to get with this boot camp. it feels incredibly shitty to not only not have a job after all this hard work, but also now owe a ton of money because of false promises.

    Took my money and ran

    I had high hopes for this program but it hasnt worked out for me. They screwed me over with not getting me the job guarantee that they advertise. They told me I didn't start the job search within a certain time even though it was out of my control because the projects were being delayed. Basically, you have to do things within a certain amount of time. But what happened when the client delays, or the mentor delays to approve your work. My job search gets delayed which meant I wouldn't get a job guarantee. They scammed me out of my money and didn't really care to be honest.

    We’re sorry that you had a negative experience with Avocademy. It’s important to our program that we implement timelines for the students to complete their tasks, so that they can push themselves to get the experience they need to begin applying for jobs. Our requirements are listed in the enrollment agreement which all students sign prior to beginning the course and student timelines are generated early on, so that everyone has visibility to their deadlines. Though not easy, thousands of students consistently meet their timelines without issue. Those that do experience delays can always reach out to request an extension, which may be granted on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions about the policy, please reach out to our team directly so we can assist.

    Mediocre Bootcamp

    Avocademy Review - May 2023


    For some context, I started the course in May and I'm 70% of the way done. Here are my pros and cons:Pros:-Cheaper than average bootcamp price-video tutorials are easy to watch-while the grading is hard, it produces a strong end product for assignmentsCons:-The grading system is super annoying. You submit your work to a slack channel and a mentor will grade it and return it for revisions. When you resubmit the work, usually another mentor will grade it and return it again with their own opinions on what needs improvement. It's such a slow and inefficient process. Some of the mentors can be total snobs, too. I'd imagine this is what working for a really annoying group of clients feels like.Suggestions for Improvement:I think once you get assigned a mentor you should stick with that one till the assignment is approved. Also, it would be great if the tutorial for the lesson covers every little detail that the assignment is graded on, not just the general gist. Finally, more respect for students' time would be great. Don't be so nit picky on grading to the point that it delays our progress/delays us moving on to the next assignment (For example, I've been on the same assignment for a week with different mentors telling me I have different crucial issues with my assignment lol).In Summary:Avocademy is fine. It's not the godsend course they market it as but it's also not awful. It's more annoying than it needs to be but I think thats what most educational programs are like.

    We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed thoughts and experience about the Avocademy course. Feedback from dedicated learners like you is integral to the continuous refinement and improvement of our offerings.


    We are glad to hear that you have found value in our competitive pricing, our user-friendly video tutorials, and our commitment to helping you create strong end-products. However, we also understand your concerns about the grading process and mentor interactions.


    At Avocademy, our grading system is designed to adhere to a well-structured rubric that each mentor follows. This ensures a standard of quality in evaluating student assignments, and it's this commitment to high quality that ensures our students walk away with great case studies that are representative of their abilities.


    We truly believe that the multitude of perspectives you gain from interacting with different mentors simulates the realities of the design world, where a design's evaluation isn't confined to one person's view, as design in itself can be inherently subjective. This process, while it may seem challenging, is intended to prepare you for the diverse opinions and feedback that you might face in your future career.


    That being said, we acknowledge your suggestion about having a single mentor per activity for consistency in grading and evaluation. This perspective is valuable, and we will certainly take it into consideration as we look at ways to enhance our grading system.


    Also, we understand your desire for more comprehensive tutorials that cover all the aspects of an assignment. We always aim to strike a balance between providing comprehensive guidance and encouraging independent learning and problem-solving skills, but your feedback will certainly inform our approach moving forward.

    Great experience

    I started avocademy to change careers and had a great experience and learned alot from all of the mentors in the program. I started foundations in October of 2022 and am currently about to finish the career Jumpstart course. I highly recommend avocademy for anyone looking into a ux/ui design career. Avocademy allows you to have a pretty flexible schedule and learn at your own pace.

    Avocademy - Career Jumpstart

    This program was really amazing and allowed me to do a full career change in around 8 months. I loved that I got to work with real clients which is something I am not sure if other bootcamps do. I always felt supported and there is an amazing community of people in the program. They offer so much assistance and really want each student to succeed. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to get into UX Design.

    I would not recommend

    Unfortunately, have had zero interviews in 6 months of applying for jobs with a solid portfolio. I have followed their instructions to a T, added extra projects to my portfolio, applied to hundreds of jobs every month, and have had zero luck finding any job. I would recommend getting a post bac or a graduate degree over doing this bootcamp.

    Avocademy Review

    Avocademy exceeded my expectations. In the foundations part of the program, the curriculum provided a comprehensive overview of UX design principles, methodologies, and tools. The topics covered ranged from user research and wireframing to prototyping and usability testing. Complex concepts were broken down into understandable modules, making them accessible for beginners to follow. The course content was up-to-date, practical, and applicable to real-world design challenges.
    They offered regular one-on-one mentorship sessions, allowing me to receive personalized feedback on my projects. The level of support provided throughout the program was excellent. I also valued the emphasis on hands-on experience. We had the opportunity to work on real-world projects, which helped us develop practical skills and build a strong portfolio. The projects were challenging yet manageable.
    In addition, Avocademy provided job placement assistance such as resume reviews and interview preparation in their career jumpstart part of the program. Thanks to the guidance and resources from the program, I recently secured a job. The program equipped me with the necessary tools to succeed in the job search.

    Hi! I'd like to clarify our sign up and refund flow. First - when you sign up you agree to the terms and conditions, once you sign up you are sent an enrollment agreement which you are required to read and sign. This enrollment agreement clearly includes your last cancellation date. If you request a refund before your last cancellation date you are able to get a 100% refund.

    AMAZING UX/UI Design Bootcamp

    After doing lots of research on UX/UI design bootcamps, I chose to go with Avocademy. I am SO HAPPY I did! It was an amazing experience from start to finish, and I didn't have to spend thousands of dollars. I learned how to complete a project from start to finish, learned all the foundational skills for UX/ UI Design, and ended with a finished project added to a portfolio. One of the things I liked best was having access to mentor support whenever I needed it. Most bootcamps don't offer that, and it is so important. There is a lot to learn about in this field and it is nice to be able to get help from an expert when you have a question or are stuck on a design issue, etc. If you are looking to get into the field of UX/UI, I highly recommend Avocademy!

    Avocademy Great Review!

    I recently completed the UX/UI Design Foundations course with Avocademy and it was a great career change experience! With unlimited mentorship and flexibility, Avocademy offers the basics of UX/UI design to work on your first foundations project! The best part is definitely the mentorship! Many boot camps don't provide feedback or mentorship and Avocademy does just that! Mentor reviews are definitely needed for any boot camp! Job is not guaranteed but they do offer a Career Jumpstart program post foundations!

    Great Experience

    I came into the foundation program not knowing a thing, but with the help of the mentors and other staff I've gain a lot of knowledge that I feel can help me with the  next steps. I honestly recommend anyone who is interested in a UI/UX bootcamp to apply for this, with many other bootcamps avocademy is not only tremendously cheaper but very well structured. Thank you again avocademy for the such an amazing bootcamp experience.
