    UXUI course

    Joining Avocademy is a great deccsion I made. Within 6-8 weeks I was ready with all the tools needed to start on a new career. Maca's one-on-one tutoring sessions were very helpful and the flexibility of the course allows you to complete it at your own time. Not to mention the price was very affordable comparing to competitors with even a better value!

    UX/UI Bootcamp

    Avocademy is a fantastic course for anyone who is interested in learning about UX/UI Design. This course doesn’t break the bank like all the other courses I found. Maca (my mentor) was great and super helpful throughout the entire process. Always available to help with any questions or critiques that I needed. She even recorded videos for me to show me some tips & tricks in Figma that wasn’t a part of the actual course! Awesome to have something to showcase in your portfolio once you...

    Phenomenal Learning Experience!

    Maca is wonderful! The context alone is so helpful for a beginner. Extremely thorough, and the source material is so varied that you're able to process and apply immediately to the activities that follow. The activities aren't just for learning but they also end up making up your entire portfolio piece. All in all, I learned so much, and having Maca available for questions and feedback really built my confidence by the time I was done. I can't wait to reference and apply the material for...

    Great Mentorship

    Avocademy is a great course for anyone looking to start out in UX Design. I like that it is structured, so I can check off my readings and activities along the way. Maca (my mentor) has also been really responsive, and always answers my messages. She is always willing to help, and has even recorded some personal tutorial videos for me to explain how to do something on Figma (the design software). I also feel like her feedback is constructive, professional, and personable, and you can tal...

    Perfect for anyone looking to transition into UX!

    While having a busy schedule as a graduate student and working part-time, enrolling in Avocademy was the best decision I have made for transitioning into a UX design career. The curriculum is self-paced so it's so easy to work around your schedule and you learn so much in the process. The unlimited one-on-one mentoring, UX resources, activities, and feedback that were offered gave me confidence in my skills and I feel like I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. Maca also ...

    Priceless, enriching, and results-driven

    I was amazed how much Avocademy was able to provide students in such a short amount of time. I set a goal of transitioning into a completely new field within a year, and I achieved my goal! Not only was the curriculum thorough, it actually prepared me for the workplace. After finishing the program, I felt equipped to jump into my new role, confident in completing projects, and knowledgeable about domain-specific vocabulary and jargon.

    More than a bootcamp

    Avocademy's Career Jumpstart is the perfect program for anyone with a foundation in UX/UI design and wants to either be injected into the workforce or level up their early design career. The program works like this:
    1. Learn some advanced UX skills and get specific feedback from mentors.
    2. Join the design studio that Avocademy is partnered with and work with other designs on actual UX projects as a contractor; there are mentors and lead designers who walk with you every step of th...

    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.
