This was my first apprenticeship on this and, I think, the only platform on the Internet. It took some time for me, because I my occupation does not seem to be wanted really, but I got still find a great compromise. That was because my mentor was up to the task. But in terms of Acadium as a platform, I couldn't have wanted anything more. I was looking any kind of first experience and I got it. You have to do your due dilligence of course and be respectful but I wish many more people/organisations would be offering something like Acadium in today's age!

Acadium gave me the opportunity to scale my skills, get experience in Digital Marketing, and learn to work remotely. It was a great experience.

One of the best decisions I've made was joining this company. I have learnt so much and have been given such great tools and resources to further my career. I highly recommend joining.

My interim disappeared the last few weeks. Initially, Acadium did not assist me and was simply going to apply a $50 refund to my next intern. I was not keen on using it again, but eventually customer service reached out to me to resolve the issue the best they could. I appreciate that they eventually did try to resolve the problem with a new intern.

This is worst platform for digital marketing apprenticeship. I finished all the courses. Helped around 3 employers with FB ads, social media and customer service. One of employer made me pay for video marketing creation on promo. They just used me and then they didn't even produced my experience letter and they deleted all my work proof from trello. I even talked with Acadium about this and they asked me to produce evidence. How can I produce evidence if they deleted all my work proof on trello? I wasted my time and money in this and got no experience letter or support in return. I wouldnt recommend this platform to anyone.

Most of the positive reviews here are from the interns, not the businesses. Of course the interns like it because it's free for them, they get education and it helps them. Part of the nature of hiring interns is that you're selecting from an unexperienced pool of workers; some require more time to explain what you want done than it would take anyone else to actually do what you want done. That's not what my complaint is, but it is a reality that any business owner would need to consider when hiring an intern. And if you want to hire an intern there are much better resources than Acadium which I wish I would have researched sooner. My complaint is regarding the Acadium's unfriendly billing practices and lousy return policy. If a business pays for 7 interns but only hires 3, and they are unsatisfied with the overall experience, they should get a refund for the other 4. They only refunded for one because it was requested within an allowable time frame. So they're basically stealing the money for the undelivered, unused portion. It is borderline predatory because the billing occurs automatically whether you're hiring interns or not. Didn't hire an intern this quarter? Well, you're still charged as if you did. And their customer service just refers to a return policy until they get to the point where they just ignore the complaint. If you don't deliver something, you should give a refund for that which wasn't delivered. The policy sucks and it always has. Setting it up that way in the first place was predatory. It's the same as any recurring billing scam that people complain about. It's why the FTC in the United States has warnings against free trials and similar scams. I don't know what Canada has by way of consumer advocacy but I intend to find out, and hopefully it applies to a B2B service. It's not uncommon to pay for something on a recurring basis in business but it's a scam when recurring billing is combined with such an unfriendly return policy.

I loved completing my digital marketing apprenticeship through Acadium. Within a few days, I was able to find a mentor that aligned with my interests, and accepted a 3-month apprenticeship. Acadium also offers great courses that I have learned a great deal from that can be used when starting my career in digital marketing.

mediocre at best. The concept is great in theory, but unfortunately the people at acadium just don't have what it take to pull it off. What they try to sell you is all wrapped up nicely with a bow but it's smoke and mirrors. They will take your money, promise you riches with outlandish claims and never offer any help besides things you can find on the internet for free. Save your money, go elsewhere. Hopefully some other company can work on the great premise Acadium was trying to figure out.
