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!- CodyGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineFeb 20, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.

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.

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 talk to her through video chat, or her new Slack Community group she created (which is also cool to see the other people in the class).
Coming into UX, I was really unsure about what I wanted to do and if I could accomplish it. I graduated college last year, had a career change, and didn't know if UX would be for me. I only recently discovered it, and was very overwhelmed about how to get into it. However, I feel like Maca has been so flexible, which has helped me to not feel overwhelmed. She helps to personalize the course to my needs, and is willing to work with me on my time frame. Also, I feel like the value of the course has been really great, especially when you see the price of other competitors.
I feel like I am learning a lot, and while it is a lot of hard work, it also feels very rewarding. - HodaStudent • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineJan 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Perfect for anyone looking to transition into UX!

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. - AnonymousSenior UX Designer • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineOct 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

3. A job hunt phase, which includes detailed portfolio creation, LinkedIn optimization, and access to a suite of tools and community to connect with recruiters and employers. They also assist with negotiation and interview preparation. The community here is amazing and enduring, don't underestimate it. - AnonymousGraduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineSep 14, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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!

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. - AnonymousUX/UI Designer • Graduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineSep 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
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. - AnonymousGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineAug 30, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
