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.

I have had the greatest experience here at SV Academy. It was hard work but in the end, it was all worth it. I highly recommend anyone going into sales or looking for opportunities in sales to give this school a try. It's hard work, especially the 4-week course but if you stay focused on the goal you have set, and meet the standards that are set for you to succeed you will do fine. - Ronée S.Graduate • Fellowship • OnlineFeb 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Training Program
I love this training program!
I did the full-time (1-month) training program. It was a lot put into that month, but every single piece of information was so valuable. Sv Academy truly set me up for success in a fun, safe, and inclusive environment with instructors and leaders in the program that genuinely care about my success and well-being.
I completed the program, and I am now employed in the tech space! Thank you SV Academy!! I am so grateful for the experience! - Addison FordJan 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Completion Review
Once i decided to take the leap and go all in I later found out that taking this course was one of the best decisions I've ever made from the Program Managers to my classmates everyone was so supportive and helpful and I was able to learn a lot from everyone and gain new friendships and mentorships. If you're wondering if you should take the leap do it, it might change your life like it has mine. - RyanGraduate • Fellowship • OnlineJan 27, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Sales Development Rep
At first, I was skeptical of SV Academy because of the many boot camps out there; however, I am glad I decided to attend SV Academy. I took the full-time program, which was four weeks long. Let me tell you, it was not an easy course to complete! You get to learn what it means to be an SDR. You will also have an internship in week three and get real hands-on experience. I would recommend it to anyone who is transitioning careers and has no experience in the tech industry. - Elizabeth JoubertStudent • Fellowship • OnlineJan 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Highly Recommend!!
This is a great program to take even if you don't have any tech background. You work at your own pace and learn so much.
Teaches you everything you need to know and develops skills to help you break out in tech. - Kiara LStudent • Fellowship • OnlineJan 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Great Experience At SVA
I enjoyed the whole program. From how the coursework is setup to the two workshops every week for part time learners. They help you learn gradually or you can get ahead. The assignments and quizzes were good reviews of the lessons learned. The instructors were hands off, which I liked but were available when necessary. Overall it was a great experience. I highly recommend SV Academy to whoever is looking to get into tech. - April Dawn GordonGraduate • Fellowship • OnlineDec 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was looking to start a new career after leaving my last one. I saw an ad for SV Academy on Facebook and thought it sounded too good to be true. I did a little research before applying and it seemed to be like a legitimate opportunity. I figured "why the heck not" and applied. I knew the acceptance rate was very low and wasn't sure if I would get in or not. When they contacted me, I was excited to try out the first week without any risk.

I did a little research before applying and it seemed to be like a legitimate opportunity. I figured "why the heck not" and applied. I knew the acceptance rate was very low and wasn't sure if I would get in or not. When they contacted me, I was excited to try out the first week without any risk. The program is fairly rigorous so don't apply if you aren't ready to work around the clock for a few weeks. But if you put in the work, the fellowship will support you every step of the way. I can't even find the right words to express how much support you get from the people involved with this program. You will learn highly valuable job skills and be ready to knock an interviewer's socks off before you even finish the program. Today is my last day and I already have multiple interviews with some amazing tech companies. The best part is, I KNOW I'm going to get job offer from at least one of them, and EVEN BETTER is the fact that I know I'm going to be ready to rock and roll on Day 1. SV Academy will change your life if you're willing to put in the work.
