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.

Avocademy is a great way to quickly learn and gain design skills. There is a TON to learn about design and this course is structured in a way that the information is not overwhelming. You basically go through the design process as you are learning and create a project with it. There are plenty of resources provided for students to aid with their learning.

There is a TON to learn about design and this course is structured in a way that the information is not overwhelming. You basically go through the design process as you are learning and create a project with it. There are plenty of resources provided for students to aid with their learning. Something unique about the program is the unlimited mentorship. However, I do suggest hiring mentors with teaching/mentorship experience, or providing a training course for them. Some are great, but some really do not know how to give effective and objective feedback.
My favorite part of Avocademy is their career jumpstart program. You get to work with a team of designers on projects for real clients and its a great learning experience. Mentors help you with resume, job applications, interview prep, and portfolio. Overall, it's a great atmosphere with a lot of support and motivation. I'm very glad I took the opportunity to learn through this program. I was able to transition for my previous career in a matter of months instead of graduate programs that take years.- AnonymousStudent • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineJan 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Foundations Course
The Avocademy Foundations course was an amazing place for me to start.

However, this can be a non-factor if you schedule 1-on-1s with a mentor in a timely manner, as they are able to revise/approve assignments for you on the spot. - AnonymousGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineJan 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The ability to learn, apply what you learn and learn best professional practices. - AnonymousGraduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineNov 30, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Effective and informative UX design bootcamp
I completed Foundations of Avocademy in July and jumped right into their CJ program. I enjoyed the curriculum and they did a great job of assigning you real life clients to add substance to your portfolio. The only struggle I really experienced was with team members sometimes not holding their own in the projects. They do a phenomenal job prepping you for job applications, interviews, and negotiation. I landed a job after 28 days of applying. Overall, I would 100% recommend this bootcamp...I completed Foundations of Avocademy in July and jumped right into their CJ program.

They also have another course that you can choose to join called Career Jumpstart after doing their foundations course where you work with real clients on real projects. While in the Career Jumpstart course, the team and mentors help you apply to jobs and give great advice and encouragement throughout the process. - AnonymousGraphic designer • Graduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineSep 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
