    Overall a Great Experience

    I started with the Google certificate first but needed a bit more guidance so I signed up for Avocademy foundations instead. Honestly, it's a very solid foundation program, especially the mentor support and feedback that do provide a more in-depth understanding if you are having trouble with certain topics. The Speaker series and office hours they provide were exceptionally educational. 
    Though, the only negative I want to point out is that there is a chance of running into misunderst...

    Totally worth it

     The Avocademy UX/UI foundations course is an excellent and accessible introduction to UX design, surpassing self-led online courses in terms of mentorship and structured learning. Having tried both approaches, I found that the guidance from mentors and the pressure to complete projects and assignments on time created a conducive learning environment, particularly for newcomers exposed to a wealth of information in a new field. This course serves as an ideal opportunity to gau...

    A manageable firehose experience

    I used Avocademy's Foundations program as my starting point for learning UX design. The program provides a great background on best practices and patterns, with a variety of materials such as videos and articles that provide a broad perspective. The assignments allow ample room to practice and apply what you learn. The mentorship is critical here - receiving immediate feedback after assignments and along the way helps fine-tune your knowledge base and contextualize what you're learning. ...

    I recently finished foundations awhile back. It started when I was looking into starting a career transition. That’s when I found Avocademy through research. I was really looking into finding a more fulfilling career. The course materials are thorough and easily to understand. Foundations definitely prepared me to get an understanding of what UX/UI is all about.

    Wonderful, Invaluable, and Supportive!

    Teacher to UX Designer in 8 months

    Full disclosure: I completed Avocademy's UX/UI Foundations bootcamp prior to completing their Career Jumpstart (CJ)  program. This review will relate primarily towards my experience for CJ!

    I can only speak to my experience but to start, I completed Avocademy's ux/ui foundations bootcamp then applied to CJ. In order to be accepted, you have to be able to complete a design challenge and explain your thought process along with mentors taking your portfolio into consideration. I was ...

    SCAM- Wasted Money/Horrible

    Recently paid $1900 dollars for this program and then fell sick and wound up in hospital. When I tried to resume my courses- didn’t even get past 2 courses- they locked me out and said they would not adjust program despite medical records/evidence.

    Not only did I waste so much money on this, but the staff was so rude and money hungry they didn’t care. It would’ve taken nothing for them to let me do the program I paid for but they refused. I am warning everyone of this horrible exp...

    Hi Rebecca - I understand that you are unhappy with the outcome of your enrollment. I'd like to remind you that the enrollment agreement you signed was for an 8-week course. The team went above and beyond to accommodate your many requests to resume. Below is an outline of the communications with our team. 

    • In March 2022, the student let Student Success know she'd be out for 2 weeks, and Student Success said we'd extend to accommodate the absence.
    • Student Success processed the extension in April 2022. Rebecca then let Student Success know she couldn't work and Student Success advised her to request a pause. The student never requested the pause.
    • The student was then marked inactive in July 2022. She emailed us and we confirmed we would reinstate her access to mentorship if she was ready to resume the course.
    • The student didn't respond then reached back out in September 2022 and asked to resume in November 2022. We gave her instructions on how to resume the course with mentorship access.
    • Then in November 2022 the student said she could not resume as previously requested and wanted to resume in February 2023
    • I made the student aware that she could resume in February 2023 but that she would only have access to mentorship for 6 weeks based on her original start date and encouraged her to resume earlier than February 2023.
    • The student did not reach out to resume in February 2023 as she previously indicated.
    • The student reached out on April 7th, 2023 and was denied her request to resume as more than a year had passed since her original start date.

    Amazing Program

    I come from a background in psychology and education. After discovering UX, I felt like I finally found the career path that was meant for me. I then began to research boot camps. After some (read: A LOT) of contemplation, I decided to go with Avocademy, and I am SO glad that I did. 

    Avocademy appeals to all learning styles by providing information in a variety of ways, from textual information and videos to hands-on projects. There is also unlimited mentorship that you can utiliz...

    Life changing opprotunity

    I found Avocademy on TikTok last year and QUIT my masters program to start this journey. If was a huge leap of faith, but I'm so glad I did it. Literally one year later I'm able to say I successfully transitioned out of education and have started my new career in UX/UI design. Avocademy provided all of the foundational knowledge needed to jumpstart this new career for me and I could not thank them enough!
