I am looking into a uxui boot camp and narrowed it down to Springboard, Designlab and Avocademy due to affordability. Does anyone have any negative critiques that could help eliminate a program? I learned the music production, graphic design and professional photography on my own, but made many mistakes along the way, hence, my interest in a program.

I’ve heard about Springboard and it sounds pretty good. However, I can’t answer your question because I didn’t take a bootcamp course. I’ve pinned your comment so that other viewers can see and respond to your questions 😊

@@talanceastevenson8730 I'm leaning towards Avocademy because it's price point and because I have an MBA in Business, but I'm also reluctant because it's a newer program and there is not enough information online about it. Is your mentor industry knowledgeable? How many real business portfolios will you have upon project completion? Anything else you'd like to add would be helpful

The first video that I watched from you was your review on Google UX Certificate course, which truly helped me a lot. Now I've finished 5 of them, and I'm also getting close to landing on my first internship role as a UX designer. I was encouraged by your positive attitudes, and all the information you shared really helped me a lot throughout my own journey. I always believed that you would definitely get hired one day with your strong passion about UX design, and now I'm feeling sincerely happy for you to see it finally comes true!
