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 always receive compliments about my stand-out portfolio and I give credit to the help of Avocademy. You really do get out quality designs with the work you put in. I also appreciate the community and mentorship so it didn't feel like I was doing it all on my own. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Avocademy because the work really speaks for itself.- Monica LeStudent • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineJan 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Super Helpful and Great Experience!
Avocademy UX/UI Foundations is a great course! I love that you can apply what you are learning as you go, and that at the end you have a solid project. You learn the design process such as doing research, ideation, design, and prototype. You have access to one-on-one mentor meetings and feel led throughout the learning process. The mentors are amazing, and you can see that they are there to encourage you as you complete the course.

AVOCADEMY 🔥🔥
Avocademy is the best UX bootcamp out there!
I knew nothing about UX/UI before I started now I can do research, design mock-ups, and conduct user-testing all while applying best practices and passing AAA contrast. - ZeiriGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineJan 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Worth your time! Great experience.
I come from a design background and I found Avocademy through Tiktok and immediately was interested in joining. First of all, you can't beat the price compared to other bootcamps.

The fact that they are other ux/product designers in the field looking at your work while working through the program is great. You are learning these skills while also connecting and networking with other students. I would 100% recommend this to others who are wanting to break into the UX tech space. I have now signed up for the career jumpstart program, so I am excited to start that. - Gisselle EchevarriaStudent • Career Jumpstart • OnlineJan 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Engaging and Educational
Avocademy was one of the best decisions I've made this year. I can tell they really care about all the student's success. Sometimes receiving the mentor feedback can take a while but that's all part of the process. I definitely recommend Avocademy to anyone who's interest in UI/UX design and needs structure and routine to transition. - Ale MartinezGraduate • UX/UI Design Foundations • OnlineJan 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Supportive, challenging, diverse
I could not have picked a better bootcamp experience! The curriculum was divided into east to understand videos and assignments. The mentors were so helpful and patient, especially since I had zero experience or background in the design/ tech field. I learned so much and you won’t get a better bang for your buck elsewhere. - Lucy CarrionUX/UI Designer • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineDec 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Avocademy career jump start is so worth it!
Learning alongside other aspiring UX/UI designers was such a great experience at Avocademy. One thing I must say is it wasn't easy, you have to dedicate a lot of personal time doing client projects. They are face-paced and sometimes can be a bit stressful. However, I don't regret doing it because the outcome led to success for me. Took me a few months to get the job which was OKAY! the mentors were always there for me to give me advice and cheer me through this difficult phase.

The avo-community is definitely the best thing here, you meet a lot of interesting people coming from all kinds of backgrounds. My favorite part of CJ was the daily meet-up calls, it was always exciting to receive advice from other people who are also in the application/interviewing phase process. My advice in order to succeed in this program is to keep on talking to everyone as much as possible, if you are stuck reach out to the staff or students everyone is super friendly, and have fun! :) - Leon RileyUX Designer Ace • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineNov 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great learning and growth experience
Avocademy's Career Jumpstart was a much needed experience for me entering the tech designer world. I was able to make connections and build my network, grow my skills as a designer, and experience what it was like to design for real clients. I recommend anyone entering UX/UI design to take this path, because this community of designers whether a mentor or new fresh designer getting their feet wet are working together to help designers take that next step in the tech world. - AnaUX Designer • Student • Career Jumpstart • OnlineNov 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Avocademy's Career Jumpstart is Awesome
I joined Avocademy's Career Jumpstart in June 2022, started applying to jobs in August 2022, and got a job in October 2022. I completed 3 client projects that were added to my portfolio and got so many resources and support on my job hunt. I'm not sure how Maca does it but she develops a connection with all of her students and is always available to provide feedback and support. The Career Coaches and Mentors are all amazing. Could not have asked for a better program. - Morgan MUX Designer • Graduate • OnlineOct 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Changed My Life
Let me start by saying how incredibly supportive and kind everyone at Avocademy is. Maca, the founder, has created an awesome culture and is personally invested in the success of every student. From starting the bootcamp to the point of finding a job (with a 30k salary increase) took me 10 months. I wasn't in a hurry and worked at my own pace. Getting the bootcamp done in two months while working full-time was too much for me, but other people might be able to do it.

Getting the bootcamp done in two months while working full-time was too much for me, but other people might be able to do it. The course content is really thorough and great. The only thing that challenged me is that there are parts in the course where you're supposed to take to the Internet to teach yourself certain things, but the directions at the time didn't explicitly say that and I was too dumb to figure it out lol. Overall though, I am career changing from running a horse barn to being a UX designer at a nationally recognized company within a year and making a great salary. I get to work from home and I have a big network of awesome and supportive people to draw from as I continue in my career and I couldn't be happier with the decision I made to join Avocademy! - Blein YohannesUX Designer • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineOct 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I have met such wonderful folks that have truly pushed me and I can now say I am a full-time, hired, UX Designer in the field. CJ has given me the opportunity to work with various people from different backgrounds, provided me with experience with real client projects, and helped me fine-tune my user experience skills. It was hard work but if you're willing to be consistent and disciplined, this program is for you.
Many have asked if they can do this while working full time and I will say, this is possible!!!!! I was exhausted most days but knew this was all worth it and I was tired of not seeing my fullest potential. I attended CJ daily calls, which provided crucial information to connect with employers and tricks to perfect my interviewing style. I learned so much and it better prepared me for the job application phase. Mentors, career coaches, and other professionals were easy to contact, and it was easy to book appointments with mentors should I have any clarifying questions about my portfolio and work. I also was also fond of the overview videos for each deliverable we may need additional guidance on. The mentors/team will step in should you have any questions and will provide you feedback on things to work on. Again, thank you CJ for helping me transition careers so seamlessly!! - Constantine YakbovskiUX/UI Designer • Graduate • Career Jumpstart • OnlineOct 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
