GrowthX Academy offers online training courses for individuals who want to level up or transition into a career in Growth Marketing, UX Design, or Sales and Business Development. The Growth Marketing Customer Acquisitions course is a self-paced, online, 8-week course covering customer acquisition, discovery techniques, analytics, technology self-sufficiency, and more. The UX Design course is a self-paced, online, 12-16-week course covering UX foundations, design research, design structure, and UI design. The Sales and Business Development course is self-paced, online, and covers business acumen, lean startups, unit economics, customer psychology, sales models, and more. Classes are taught by entrepreneurs, founders, business owners and investors who teach useful skills, mindsets, and frameworks for today’s competitive environment. GrowthX Academy students learn from a dynamic curriculum which they get lifetime access to.

To apply for GrowthX courses, applicants should talk to an enrollment advisor, audit a class (optional), and talk with an instructor. Once the team has assessed if the applicant is a good fit, the applicant will then fill out an enrollment agreement. No previous experience is needed, but GrowthX is looking for committed students who are enthusiastic about technology, but not necessarily to code.

Graduates receive personal and professional branding, and hands-on experience working alongside real companies like Alma Box, Cleanify, and Loverly. Students also benefit from immersion into the network of student peers, instructors, mentors, events, startups and investors. Throughout the course, students work with mentors and a career coach through the GrowthX Academy Career Canvas Funnel™, which helps match students with jobs that fit their goals. If students are unsatisfied with the course after 30 days, they can get a full refund.

    Better than a college degree

    If you go to school for marketing, they'll teach you things like How To Make A Powerpoint and Potential Customers Go Down When Prices Goes Up.

    If you take this course for marketing, you'll learn dozens of actually applicable things, like How To Setup a Passive Income Referral SEO Play and How To Use Javascript to Find Leads.

    I had experience in both marketing and software engineering going into this course and was still quite pleasantly surprised at the depth of knowledge, ...

    Extremely In Depth + High Quality

    I’ve had a bit of experience in Marketing, but this course offers a depth and quality that you can’t really find anywhere else.
    I decided to take this course because I wanted to level up my marketing skills and prepare for running my own business. Not only did I get extremely deep knowledge in key areas of growth marketing, but I was able to hear first hand experience from Ryan and how he’s implemented a lot of the strategies he covers in the course. This can be ...

    First I was sceptical, but then something 'clicked'

    First I was sceptical. Another marketing course, what does this teacher even know that I cannot find out by myself? 
    Then I looked up the results the teacher had before: a successful career as a start-up founder, before that in marketing, worked as a venture capitalist, and successful private equity investor... 
    Ok, I thought: so this teacher must know a thing.
    But it wasn't all theory. 
    No, this time it wasn't one of those boring lecture courses. Not like the ones you ...

    Grow(th) with Ryan

    This is not just a course about making money fast — this course teaches you to think and re-think ideas and come up with strategic marketing decisions for your business. Ryan is a one of a kind person, markerter, programmer and teacher and leader. I enjoyed this course to the fullest and I am looking forward to learning from the upcoming updated content. Thank you Ryan!

    10/10 recommended

    I decided to take this course because I wanted to up my marketing game and fill a gap in my skill set. I have to admit it wasn't an easy decision to pay almost $2,000 for a course (the most I've ever paid), but now I can say it was totally worth it. The curriculum is top notch but above everything else Ryan, the instructor, is INCREDIBLY helpful and available. 10/10 recommended to everyone who wants to learn "how to marketing".

    Great kick-off for an exciting career

    If you want to work in UX, this course provides a great kick-starter curriculum to help you hit the ground running. Ambitious, self-starter students will have numerous resources at their disposal. When I took this bootcamp, I was immediately welcomed into a community of tech professionals. Julia DeBari, lead UX instructor, went out of her way to make sure all of the students were successful.

    UX Design Student

    Before discovering GrowthX Academy, I had thought about transitioning into the tech field for the longest time. I was hesistant to make the move because I was not sure how I would make the jump. After exploring multiple options and doing extensive research about the different paths I could have taken, I decided to sign up for GrowthX's UX Design track. The journey was not easy (change is never easy), but I am thankful to have chosen GrowthX Academy to help with my career transition.

    Challenge yourself to level up and get a new career

    I was just like you six months ago;  Feeling frustrated with my career, not wanting to change companies for fear that it'll be more of the same and then randomly found myself reading reviews of "tech bootcamps."  

    Just like you, I wanted a new career, a new challenge, a way to level up without dropping everything for two years and paying $80-100K for grad school. 

    What attracted me to GrowthX Academy was their consultative approach to recruiting me to their program.   <...

    Learn the skills needed to transition your career

    I did extensive research on UX programs of various platforms, including online courses, in-person, hybrid and master’s programs. I ultimately chose GrowthX Academy because it encompassed everything I wanted to learn, from research through design. What sold me on the program was the opportunity to work with actual clients solving actual business challenges for my projects. Ultimately, this hands-on experience was invaluable and helped me develop a portfolio I am proud to share.

    I found GrowthX while I was researching Coding Bootcamps in SF.  Coming from a founder's mentality, I humbly admit that I had NO IDEA about the incredibly important market side of business; and, market fit, customer messaging, UX design, growth metrics and sales are absolutely imperative to any successful company.  I am now close to finishing a 3 month curiculum with GrowthX, and I can honeslty say that the knowledge, experience, and networking have been outstanding. These folks trul...

    Ryan helped me start learning marketing

    I'm a developer and a maker. It's great to make things but it sucks to have nobody uses them. I knew that I have to learn marketing to improve what I build and get it in front of my target audience. Somehow though I dreaded learning marketing. In my point of view, most marketers are liars. How could someone associate a romantic moment with cancer (cigarette ads) ?

     Ryan course stood up to me because I like his approach to marketing. It turns out that you can be a marketer and be h...
