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.

I still remember the feeling I had when I finished my Foundations project and received my badge. I had just received my completion notice and was looking through my project in my portfolio with the words "Sole Designer" staring back at me and I teared up; I had done it!

I had just received my completion notice and was looking through my project in my portfolio with the words "Sole Designer" staring back at me and I teared up; I had done it! I was so proud of myself for what I had made and all the work I had put in. I was proud that in a short amount of time, I had gained a solid understanding of what UX/UI design is, and I had developed the skills to put the practices into play and create something fun and functional that also looked good.
The Foundations bootcamp is put together very well. The course provides a wealth of information, which is simplified into digestible terms, and provides more in-depth resources on the side for you to explore. They take you through the whole process step-by-step so you get experience in every area. I truly feel like I learned every base skill set needed in this field and I can only continue to grow from here. I felt supported by my mentors and honestly wish I could have spent more time with them because they have so much knowledge.
I loved my experience through Avocademy and 10/10 would recommend.- Kirstin MinorStudent • Career Jumpstart • OnlineDec 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I learned so much!
Going into UX/UI foundations has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for 2023. I went into it a little unsure and insecure if this would be right for me. I work in healthcare and it felt like a big transition. What I learned: I can be a designer. The learning tools, community and mentorship that Avocademy provides is consistent and encouraging. I highly recommend it to anyone considering learning UX/UI. - Brandon SchulmanUX Designer • Student • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineDec 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Important, Helpful, and Fun!
I completed the course back in early 2023, and I loved it. I've met so many students throughout the course that I still connect/work with to this day! The course offers many great ways to learn and navigate throughout the interaction design industry, and mentors are there to answer any questions you might have as well! I recommend this course to anyone wanting to further/start their career in the industry. - Michell ShulerStudent • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineNov 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Very Helpful
The information created in this course was phenomenal. I had 0 experience with anything tech, but now I feel more equipped to take on roles career-wise in tech. Even though you have a guide, you can move at your own pace, and the mentors are very understanding if you get backed because they understand life happens. But they are with you every step of the way and truly show you the ropes to a career in tech.

What a game changer
Avocademy has been a transformative journey for me, catapulting me into the realm of UI/UX design with unparalleled success.

As someone without a college degree and a history of small jobs, I was initially skeptical of my ability to break into this competitive field. However, Avocademy's exceptional boot camp proved to be the catalyst for a life-changing experience.
The mentors at Avocademy are nothing short of fabulous. Their expertise, guidance, and unwavering support made the seemingly daunting process of learning UI/UX not only accessible but also enjoyable. The curriculum is thoughtfully crafted, providing a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of design. The hands-on approach allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, honing my skills in the process.
Avocademy's impact extends beyond personal growth; it has empowered me to create a better future for my family. This boot camp is a beacon of opportunity for anyone willing to invest the time and effort to learn. Avocademy has truly been a game-changer, proving that with dedication and the right education, anyone can carve a successful path in UI/UX, regardless of their background. - Larry MonsterUX/UI Designer • Student • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineNov 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Exactly the Bootcamp what I looked
Having finished the UX/UI Design Foundations program and continuing with the Career Jumpstart program, the skills that I have learned are immediately relevant and up-to-date. It gives students enough time to go through the videos and content to practice skills with an individual project. Instructors are clear, Design mentors know what to do and what to focus on during the learning experience, and the curriculum has been built up with clarity in mind.

Instructors are clear, Design mentors know what to do and what to focus on during the learning experience, and the curriculum has been built up with clarity in mind. Compared to other bootcamps the price is on point as well. I didn't want to do another Design master's degree in the US/EU due to time, budget, and relocation to transition into a fast-paced industry. Everything aside, it builds up your confidence as well to make sure UX/UI is something for you. And I found out it is for me and I enjoy it. - Monica WisemanUX/UI Designer • Student • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineNov 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I needed to make a career change and I wanted a field that could provide stability for many years to come. Avocademy factors in people's lives, they understand how much time you can commit to the courses. There are mentors available to give guidance, review projects, and give feedback that will benefit your learning and the projects. The one downfall with the reviewing of projects is that multiple mentors can review the same project and potentially give different comments on the same sections contradicting the other. It becomes quite frustrating. Also, sometimes, it's clear that the mentors copy and paste comments in the rubrics or when responding to our submissions. Overall, I would recommend Avocaemy. The mentors that lead videos in the lessons, you can tell how passionate they are and they genuinely want to help you. With ever-growing students, they are adapting the courses and finding what's true and tested. - Jane BanksGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineNov 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Foundations :)
I took the Foundations course at Avocademy (currently taking Career Jumpstart) and I learned so much valuable information. I actually had no previous experience using Figma so it was a little intimidating to understand at first, but practice makes perfect and I feel confident I've got it down! Overall it was a great course and would be extremely beneficial to anyone wanting to learn about or further their education in design. - Alexis GlennGraphic Designer | Marketing Coordinator • Student • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineNov 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I’m very happy though with my decision especially because of the mentorship it offered. I think it was important for me to follow a formal course and have some skin in the game. There is no way I could have grown as much or been challenged (in a good way) without taking a formal program. I’m now in the Avocademy Career Jumpstart program and working on my first group project. I’m looking for to getting through this phase and start job searching. - Erina KimGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineNov 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Streamlined and effective
The course is what you make of it! There are always mentors available to help, and they do a good job of making sure you are on track to complete the course. If you are self motivated and are interested in seeing if UX/UI is for you then this is a good place to start
