Joined the Webinar with Erik Herrström and the insights been very valuable for me. Thanks!

The overall teaching experience with Tony Amidei was great from the start to the end in the UX Designer Course. Would 10/10 recommend. he is a great resource for those looking to delve into the UX world. Brayan Reyes my program manager was great and he was always helpful. Brayan was always available via call or discord. loved it. If you need to contact any of their learning advisors who are helpful, reach out to Sydney Tran. She did lack a couple of responses in the beginning :P BUT she was helpful through and through. I would recommend reaching out to her. NOW for the course content itself. ITS awesome and it can be hard to learn if you have your first UX learning experience here. Personally in my experience, I would go through some youtube videos on UX and then look at some general courses like the google UX design course BUT that is not where it ends. If you wanna make it into the job market, this course is your network ticket and polishing of your resume before you get into the real world.

I would highly recommend the “Become a UX designer with Tony” class and it was a wonderful experience. Tony is an amazing and a highly experienced instructor. The 6-week classes were very well structured and organised. Had Q&A sessions after each class and all the videos were recorded, making it easier to refer back while working on the assignments. The best part of this course is that we learnt exactly what’s required in the industry. Just loved Tony’s approach to everything and he was so patient in answering all our questions and gave a valuable feedback after every assignment. We were introduced to Figma and figjam through the course and it was fun working on the project in figjam. Furthermore, I already have a project to add on to my UX portfolio to apply for internships. This course renewed my passion for design. We had Brayan, an excellent program co-ordinator and he made it super easy for us all. Very kind, understanding and helpful with his immediate response to all questions regarding the course. I would definitely rate this as one of the best courses I have taken so far! Thank you.

I highly recommend Tony Amidei's course on UX Design through ELVTR. I just finished the course with a case-study I can add to my portfolio and I learned the basics of Figma and FigJam as well. Tony is an excellent instructor with real life UX experience currently working at PayPal. Each class was engaging, well organized and allowed enough time for Q&A. This course had under 40 students in the class which was a good amount. Brayan from ELVTR was also excellent in managing the course and always available for any questions or concerns. With any course, you get out of it what you put into it. If you're looking to add UX Design to your portfolio, no matter what level, take Tony's course with ELVTR and you'll be on your way.

I took the ux/ui design course with the instructor Tony Amidei who works for Paypal. In terms of lessons, it was what you would expect from a college course but the difference is, the instructor really showed you what it's like to work in the real world with real world examples and step by step on how he would tackle each problem as a designer for Paypal and gave examples he had working from PayPal. It is a step up from most college courses cause most ux/ui courses just throws you out and expect you to look for design jobs yourself. This course made a linkedin group to help connect with peers and network and also gave real examples of what to expect from a portfolio and potential interview questions. It's certainly a step up from most college courses but can also have room for improvements.

I've had a great experience with the Game UXUI course taught by Ivy. Coming from someone who grew up enjoying gaming and is beginning my journey as a UX designer, learning this course helped connect a lot of dots for me. It validated some of my own assumptions and provided new insights into how games are perceived, enjoyed by different groups of people, and the importance of accessibility needs. The instructor, Ivy, is also fantastic. She is highly knowledgeable and excels at explaining concepts with humor in her teachings :)

I took the UI/UX class with Ivy S. I found the instructor incredible enthusiastic and engaging. The classes were a good structure, seemed a little bit beginner in some areas, but I did feel like I learned from the class. I guess the school itself gave me bad vibes, I felt a little deceived from marketing phonecall. It was presented as having lots of tangible feedback from the instructor and helping you jump into the industry- yes assignments were marked, but feedback on assignments was "great work" nothing really on improving my skills to break into the industry - I dont blame the instructor, she has over 75 students in the class and she was behind on marking. Office hours were with the entire class, so you could have a portfolio reviewed, but it honestly felt pretty rushed. I honestly felt like I could've learned most of it as an online video course, I did not feel like the instructor part made it worth over $4000 for the class. I would not recommend elvtr.com to others.

While the customer service is very good, the marketing seems be affective, and the instructor is very friendly, would you take a class marketed to have Apple's ux lead just to find out that it was Tim Cook instead of Steve Jobs? What would you think if you had signed up for a class that was marketed with the Bungie brand but has no involvement to any of their games? If Destiny 2 was released in 2017, how much involvement did new UX lead who joined at the end of 2022 have to the success of the franchise? Has the reviews gotten better since the beginning of this year? Would you consider taking a course that teaches UX but have the students question some of the very basic structures of a class such as when is the first class, if there is assignments due, how the assignments are turned in? Does the class itself nees UX enhancement? If the game designer optimizes user experience in the game in the planning phase, what input does a UX designer really have? Could the class essentially be summarized by a book such as UX mapping by Peter Szabo and save you $3000? How reputable is it to have been told the class caps at 75 but ends with 95 students? If you are really looking into UX, have you thought about all of the questions above? Look around the UX designers around you. How many of them are just UI designers? How many of them switched to a different role? how many of them remained UX designer and had a stable job? Is UX really a role of the future or is it a trend of the present? Will you learn the how and the why or will you only learn what is ux through the course? if all the "hows" are referenced to youtube, would you better off set aside 30 minutes a day to practice watching different youtube guides for free? Why do you have to already know how to design going into the class when the information is beginner-level ux? If you want to get into the field, but lacks motivation, are you using the tuition as a form of motivation? Is that enough? If you don't plan on participating every class, why not buy a $10 class through Udemy? Or are you looking for the benefit of networking? It is definitely a great environment for networking, students come from different fields, at different age, and live in different areas. Having participated the class definitely made me more confident in my own knowledge. Social media promotes the best posts to our feeds and that can sometimes be a confidence killer but the people who get that kind of glory also worked hard for it. So keep working hard, everyone will reach there if we put the time and effort into it. If this class is what you need to kickstart that motor, this is the class to sign up for. If you are already on the journey, is learning and reading constantly, why not invest that money create your own mini game? Action speak louder than words, we all know this, that's why the most commonly asked question is "will this class help me build my portfolio?"
