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.

    UX bootcamp

    Avocademy is truly one of the best bootcamps out there. I am still mind blown at the amount of knowledge I have learned with this program. I went from knowing nothing about UX to working with real clients and bettering all my skills. I finished the first portion of the bootcamp in about 6 weeks and had so much mentorship throughout the course. I loved that I made connections with people taking the course with me but also with all the mentors that helped me and that work at this big tech ...

    The greatest

     A great and affordable way to learn UX/UI design! I was able to complete the foundations course in about 10 weeks. I needed some extensions, and Student Success was so understanding about it. 10 weeks is pretty good considering that I had a full time job while completing the coursework. The actual coursework itself in my opinion was great! Everything is broken up into modules, and in each module there may be several activities to complete. The only thing that I can see being a potential...

    UX/UI Foundations

    This course is definitely worth it! For a while now, I've been wanting to switch careers and take a UX Design Bootcamp. However, all the other boot camps cost way more than what I could afford, until I found Avocademy. It was too good to be true. The Foundations course really goes into detail on how to create your first project. I enjoyed every aspect of the course from the videos to all the readings and applying everything that I learned to my project. You get unlimited mentorship which...

    This course saved me! I wasn’t sure where to go in my career since most UX courses are over $10k, but this was super affordable! It has unlimited mentoring and superb job placement when you join the second part of the course. Fully reccomend!

    UX/UI Foundations

    Once I came to the realization UX/UI Design is what I wanted to do career-wise, it came down to which boot camp to enroll in.  From doing research on various boot camps, one concern I remember hearing about was students not being taught how to use design tools (e.g. figma) and that it was a “learn it on your own” type of situation.  When I reached out to Avocademy, I was assured students were taught how to use design tools. So with the cost of ...

    Great Option

    I'm changing career paths and wanted to take a low cost risk to see if UX Design and Research was for me. This was a great option to do that. It worked out well too. I left the program with a tool bag full of skills and industry knowledge. I have a million bookmarks, notes, articles, and examples because of the Foundations course. If I were to do it all over again, I'd be more active in booking mentor sessions. Access to the mentors is what you're paying for in this course. They really k...

    UX/UI foundations

    Who I think this course is excellent for: 
    People who have been learning about UX design on their own and are ready to follow the steps to complete a Portfolio from start to finish.  The course calculates you will take 6-8 weeks to learn the basics of UX/UI and complete an entire project. My overall experience even as a new designer without any graphic design, marketing, project managing or tech experience was great!  Although I have to say, that if I had learned more on my own prior ...

    UX Designer

    I had previously taken an UX/UI course with another institution and wished I had came across Avocademy sooner. The 6-8 week course is self paced and the learning material is very informative and resourceful. Mentors are available throughout the course to assist with the project and provide guidance. We also get to communicate with other students and help each other out. There are also speaker series with people who have years of experience in the UX field give us advice and share their e...

    Structured Learning, True Mentorship, and Community

    After spending the last 8 years in the insurance industry I needed a career pivot. Following a lot of research, I found that UX design was where I wanted to be. I went the self-taught route but quickly found that I needed to approach learning in a more structured environment. Insert Avocademy. 

    There are a lot of great things I can say about the bootcamp but here are my 5 biggest takeaways:

    1. Mentor feedback and availability: Each activity needs to be approved by a mentor ...

    Course Foundation Alumni

    When I first learned about UX/UI, I immediately knew I wanted to enroll in a BootCamp but the real question was...which one? There were so many boot camps out all with various price ranges, mentorship, and different features. After some thorough research and listing out the pros and cons for each BootCamp I finally decided on Avocademy.

    Why?
    I chose Avocademy because of the price. It was extremely affordable and offered unlimited mentorship. I also liked the duration of the Boo...
