SV Academy
SV Academy is an intensive tech sales training provider that offers a 4-week full-time and 8-week part-time online high-growth sales training program. The full-time schedule has a 40-hour-per-week time commitment for the first 4 weeks of training while the part-time schedule requires about 20 hours per week for the first 8 weeks. SV Academy combines hands-on, intensive training with a strong network, career transition support, and career coaching to help job seekers launch meaningful high-growth business careers. During the training phase, learners will attend live classes, complete weekly assignments, improve their interview readiness, and participate in a live employer project. SV Academy focuses on training job seekers in high-growth sales, an approach pioneered by tech companies and now in demand across all industries. This approach is less about schmoozing than traditional sales, and more focused on data, agile processes, user empathy, and strategic problem-solving.
To be eligible for admission, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. The application process involves completing an online application, submitting and passing a written assessment, and a final interview with an admissions director. No prerequisite skills, business experience, or a perfect GPA is needed for enrollment. SV Academy is looking for committed job seekers with strong written and verbal communication abilities who are coachable and eager to start building their business careers and transform their lives.
After successfully completing the 4-week full-time or 8-week part-time training, a dedicated Career Transition Manager will help program participants navigate the job search process. SV Academy will also match and facilitate warm introductions between job seekers and prospective employers with open roles. After getting hired, SV Academy graduates will receive professional career coaching for the first 6 months, helping them to maneuver the rough spots of beginning a new career and put them on a path toward a promotion.

Coming into this program, I was unsure of my future. Through each week, I grew a passion for loving the Saas industry. This program made me into a better version of myself. Thank you- AnonymousGraduate • OnlineMay 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience
Getting into Customer Success with SV Academy was amazing. I loved every minute of it. Our teacher was very knowledgeable and helped make things clear and see to us when we needed extra help. I would totally recommend this program to anyone looking at a new career in the technology world.

Got a job!
I entered this program in the summer of 2021 hoping I'd be able to enter the tech industry -- and what do you know, I did! - AnonymousGraduate • Fellowship • OnlineApr 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

This program seemed difficult for the 1st 2 weeks but after that, it wasn't too bad; just know that everything will be fine and dedicate time to it. Ask for help when needed and help others if you can, everyone was nice and are there to assist you. - AnonymousStudent • Fellowship • OnlineMar 23, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My Experience at SV Academy
At 300 hours long it all goes by in a blur! The best school to attend to break into a new field of an SDR. Well worth it. - AnonymousCustomer Success Associate • Graduate • Fellowship • OnlineDec 02, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Depends on luck - I was lucky.
I went from serving in a restaurant (despite having a college degree) earning $25K/year to being offered a $10K/3-month internship, then finally being offered a $75K/year position. However, I also saw that many of my classmates did not experience this lucrative of a route.

However, I also saw that many of my classmates did not experience this lucrative of a route.
We all worked studiously and networked diligently during our time at SV. Our instructors are accessible, knowledgable, and honestly great teachers because they listen to students and answer questions thoughtfully. Even with all that, maybe only half the cohort were offered internships.
And half of those who *did* get internships did not want to continue full-time with the company they interned at and/or the company did not offer full-time roles to these people. If you don't land that full-time position, you have to apply for a certain # of jobs each month for 6 months, as well as actively networking and having informational interviews with people in your interested field. Otherwise, you don't get your money back. That seems kind of stressful, and I'm glad I didn't fall into going that route.
I honestly feel like it was a gamble. When I first applied, it seemed like everything was going to be in the bag. But now that I have my full-time role, I feel like I was just super-duper lucky. I got a great internship, a fun work environment/community that liked me back enough to offer me full-time, a salary I can't complain about -- but keep in mind, this is not the story of every SV alum. - AnonymousGraduate • Fellowship • OnlineNov 25, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
SV Academy Glad I Made the Choice
The SV Academy fellowship program was a great experience, although going into it I didn't quite know what to expect. I have tried so many different things in the past to try and get my career off the ground but nothing really stuck. Either I couldn't find a job or I wasn't supported, I found the SV Academy to be different though, and was sure to do my due diligence before getting started.

I have tried so many different things in the past to try and get my career off the ground but nothing really stuck. Either I couldn't find a job or I wasn't supported, I found the SV Academy to be different though, and was sure to do my due diligence before getting started.
What I loved the most about the program was the instructors and that these leaders were people that actually went through the program and could provide real knowledge and experiences with us. The workshops were upbeat and informative and structured around the community which the academy highly values.
I found the program to be rigorous but all necessary to prepare us for the next step which was interviewing and starting a job. Throughout the interviewing process I really felt prepared and confident based on what we learned and the guidance we were given.
Going through the program is one experience but the connections and learning don't stop once you graduate, and that goes back to what I was saying earlier about community. I suppose you can say it's what you make of it and what you want to get out of it. If you want to break into tech and get into a field that is in demand, I think the SV Academy is a great place to start.

SV Academy Launched my Career in Tech
Prior to joining SV Academy, I was on the law school path. I wanted to take one big risk and pivot into tech before committing to law school. Looking back on it, it was the best career move I've ever made.

I started off as an SDR and in ~2 years post program I am now a manager within my organizations customer success department. I would not have been able to do this if it weren't for the opportunity that SV Academy gave me.
At the end of the day it wasn't a risk at all, instead it was a smooth pivot into what is now my dream career.
