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.

The course is full of great information and resources but my favorite thing has been the quality mentor feedback and the access to mentorship in general. The slack channel has also been very helpful and adds to a sense of community which is really great for an online course. Would definitely recommend this course!- Cris AbatoStudent • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineApr 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Highly Recommended!
I completed Foundations last month and have recently begun CJ. My time and experience thus far with Avocademy has been incredible. The program is structured in a way that truly cultivates success. I have loved every moment and have the utmost confidence that Avocademy was the right choice in helping me reach my goals. - Heather MannGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineApr 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Introduction to UX/UI
I would 100% recommend the Foundations course at Avocademy to learn essential skills needed to work in the UX/UI field. The price is reasonable and the mentor guidance provided was essential. I also liked the flexibility to work around my schedule, allowing me to work and take care of my family's needs. - Aiko Manaloto BlackGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineApr 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Curriculum Plus unlimited Mentorship!
If you guys are thinking about taking up a UX/UI Bootcamp, then I highly recommend Avocademy! I literally came from a different background and had no design experience whatsoever, but Avocademy helped me pick up all the needed skills to get started. They make everything so easy to understand! Not only that, they go above and beyond to help the students out. The only regret I have is not taking this bootcamp sooner lol - Chelsey Allison RochesterGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineApr 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Structured guidance & great community
I completed both the UX/UI Foundations and the Career Jumpstart programs, as I wanted to transition into UX design from my previous career. Both were excellent programs at an affordable price relative to competitor bootcamps (which is why I went with Avocademy in the first place), with a great community of fellow students.

Foundations gave me a solid introduction into UX design at a self-paced timeline with structure, and Career Jumpstart allowed me to work on real client projects and land a job in the fintech industry two months after I began job hunting. I can't thank the Avocademy founders and mentors enough for their guidance in this career transition, and I'd recommend them a thousand times over for anyone considering UX design!

Inspiring, Grueling, Rewarding

However it is so worth it if you’re receptive to feedback and do what’s required. I loved having the opportunity to work on real projects with a manager and team of designers. Honestly that’s the easiest part. The job search was long and hard. It can become tedious and frustrating especially in this market. While it’s great to have a network of people going through the same thing as you and get inspiration from them, on the inverse you’ll want to use discernment and take advice from working professionals, not amateurs like you. It can mess with your head.
Pros: program covers every step of the job process, you don’t feel lost or alone
Cons: group projects can be stressful as maybe all group members haven’t followed the content and can slow you down( however this can happen in real world so good practice). Sometimes mentors can provide conflicting information however if you reach out to the program they are quick to correct it.
All in all I’m very happy with my experience and grateful to be entering this industry. - Arwa MohamedGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineMar 16, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Hands-on learning with mentor support
I completed the UX/UI Foundations and Career Jumpstart programs with Avocademy. After deciding to pursue UX Design as a new career, I did a lot of research on the many bootcamps available online. I needed a program that I could complete while working full-time, and I wasn't willing to pay the high prices of some other bootcamps.

Specific to Career Jumpstart, the hands-on experience this program provides is crucial for the job hunt. I was able to build out my portfolio with real client work and heavily build on what I learned in Foundations. I received in-depth mentor support throughout the job search that ultimately led to me landing a solid position as a UX Researcher & Designer. Additionally, Maca and the team are always finding ways to improve the course based on student feedback.

Avocademy changed my life!
Avocademy is flexible and affordable! When I was deciding on what boot camp to enroll in - my main concerns were cost and time management. Though the cost is much less than other boot camps out there, they still give payment options which make it even more flexible. Since the course is 100% online and self-paced it is very easy to manage. Don't get it twisted - it can be challenging and you still have to put a lot of effort into it but the mentors are always there to guide you. The cours...Avocademy is flexible and affordable!

Don't get it twisted - it can be challenging and you still have to put a lot of effort into it but the mentors are always there to guide you. The course content is very accurate in teaching you all the necessary information. Something that could improve is the way your work is reviewed - it can take a while to get it reviewed and the feedback can vary depending on the mentor. Other than that, Avocademy is GREAT! I took the Foundations course first and then enrolled in the Career Jumpstart to work with real clients and gain real-world experience.

Overall, I am very happy I chose to go through Avocademy for my career change into UX Design. Both courses were affordable with a variety of payment options. Foundations was a very insightful learning experience that went in depth on UX/UI design. Coming out of it, I felt I learned a lot of material in a short amount of time. After foundations, I went into career jumpstart which helps translate everything I learned into real-world projects with real clients. Career jumpstart was super helpful in landing my first UX Design job. Even though it is a lot of work, it is also up to students to be as proactive and hands-on as they'd like. The course is helpful not only in gaining real-world experience but also in practicing time management for yourself. The Avocademy mentors are great to work with and very helpful with providing answers, advice, or practice. Even though you may run into some issues throughout the course with clients, feedback, timelines, etc. it is all real-world experience that helped me through my job search and interviewing process.
