    Career Jumpstart

    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 ab...

    UX/UI Design

    Avocademy was the greatest decision I made so far, the foundations bootcamp was an amazing opportunity for me to  switch careers and do something I love! Through the Career Jumpstart I was able to land into a Senior Designer role. I am so grateful with the support they gave me with the career change.

    Career Jumpstart Alumni

    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 inter...

    Affordable Program with Life Changing Results

    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 sea...

    This is the only bootcamp you'll ever need.  Not only is it like a third of the price of other bootcamps but the content is just as valuable and is presented in a clear and easy to learn format.  The best part about Avocademy is the option to join Career Jumpstart when you finish the Foundations course.  Don't waste your money on any other bootcamps, I promise Avocademy is the right choice!

    Graduate

    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...

    Foundations

    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...

    A great experience

    Avocademy was something I found while I was going through the Coursera Google UX program and it was such an amazing choice to switch. The mentorship I got was amazing and feedback was consistent and thorough. They are constantly updating their materials and making the course better and have professionals coming in to provide real world insights in their speaker series. It’s a fantastic resource for the students.

    So far, REALLY good

    I am going to be finishing my run in Foundations for Avocademy here in a couple of weeks. The course is split up into 6 modules that guide you through *lots* of reading, videos and other literature, which prepare you for Activities. Activities are based on what you've learned and have incredibly clear instructions. 

    When you complete an Activity, you submit it to the community Slack channel where it is reviewed and approved by a Mentor. On the Slack channel you can also ask questi...

    Avocademy isn't just a course, it's a community!

    Avocademy is a great place to learn UX/UI design! The foundations course taught me relevant, important information about the design process and the career jumpstart program gave me experiences with real clients that I was able to put on my portfolio.  The community at Avocademy is also amazing. The mentors really care about the students and everyone is just really supportive and transparent. If you're looking for a UI/UX course, I HIGHLY suggest Avocademy!

    One of the best decisions I have ever made!

    As a fresh college graduate with a background in Computer Science and Digital Arts, I had a huge lack of self confidence when it came to landing my first UX/UI related job. Career Jumpstart provided ways to help build my portfolio by giving me project opportunities where I was able to work with real life outside clients and a design team. On top of that, through great mentorship, I was able to gain valuable feedback and improve the way I was approaching interviews because honestly, I was...
