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.

Foundations
I first came across Avocademy on Tiktok. I thought it was another overpriced boot-camp with little to no human interaction, and I was completely wrong. The support system from Avocademy exceeded my expectations. You will learn everything you need to start in the UX/UI world, this is why it's called "foundations". The unlimited mentor sessions is one of their best features. If you ever feel lost doing an activity there is someone always around to help or give advice.

The unlimited mentor sessions is one of their best features. If you ever feel lost doing an activity there is someone always around to help or give advice. I will be honest, its not easy but what you get out of this experience is priceless. The learning pace is very individualized, if you need to take a break or something has come up where you need to pause the boot-camp, Avocademy will work with you. Overall, I enjoyed my time with foundations so much that I am currently in their Career Jumpstart program. If your looking for a reasonably price, individualized boot-camp, Avocademy is for you. - Ellen ShinGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineAug 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX/UI Foundations
This bootcamp honestly exceeded my expectations and it's really given me skills that would have taken me so long to learn on my own. Avocademy is not only much cheaper compared to other bootcamps out there, but the community is also a lot more tight-knit, with helpful mentors and a well thought-out course. I can tell that the people in charge really care about the quality of work from students, which encourages me to do my best as well.

UX/UI Foundations
I had such a great experience with Avocademy! The course follows a self-paced model, but offers meetings with the course mentors, which makes the experience adaptable to your learning style. The material is rigorous and focuses on the why behind the design process. By the end of the course, I had a solid understanding of UX, UX research, and UI as well as a project added to my portfolio. - LaurenGraphic Designer • Student • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing Support for the Price
I am so glad that I choose Avocademy as my UX bootcamp. The initial foundations curriculum is very extensive while still being able to complete in a few months. Definitely take advantage of the many mentors available who currently work as UX designers! I learned so much just from asking a ton of questions. The Career Jumpstart (the second bootcamp after foundations) has been an invaluable program experience working directly with clients while having unlimited support from mentors.

I joined the UX / UI Foundations Course in March of 2022.

I also feel like Avocademy gives you a really good community of junior ux / ui designers to network with. Overall I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to switch careers / learn the foundations of ux and ui. - Alvaro CaceresUX Designer • Student • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX/UI Foundations
Foundations course that showed me basics of Research, Designing, Prototyping, and User Testing using different tools such as Miro, Figma, and Invision. The course takes 8 months to complete and it's completely self paced. The mentors go above and beyond to help you understand the skills needed to be a UX/UI designer. - AnnieAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX/UI Foundations
I was at a point in my life where I knew I needed to make a career change, but didn't have any idea where to begin. I saw a TikTok about Avocademy and the rest was history. The course is very reasonably priced and what you get for your money is incredible. I feel confident in beginning my career in UX/UI Design & my skillset because of Avocademy. - oliver wagnerGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
ux/ui foundations
This is an excellent course for getting up to speed on the basics of UX/UI. Especially if you're comfortable working on your own. If you're not, there are plenty of opportunities to interact with instructors. I found all of the instructors to be thoroughly knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to break into this field. - Emily lopezAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It has been such a nice experience working with Avocademy ! They are super hands on in the process of learning UX. The only regret I have is not joining sooner. - SavannahLead UX Designer • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineAug 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing Value and Experience
I think Avocademy is a GREAT value for the money. They provide lots of help, are remote, and their Career Jumpstart program helps you through the job application process seamlessly, and with lots of support. AND you get to work with real clients on real projects, which really gives you credibility when you apply to jobs. If you follow their steps, there is a 100% job placement rate. I'm not sure how it gets much better than that.
