I enjoyed all the classes for the UX/UI for Gaming course. It was broken up nicely to help make the video game UX process understandable. Ivy, the teacher, is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She makes it very easy to understand each concept with analogies and examples. The only things missing from this course are a real-life applicable project and more career help. In my opinion, this course is not recommended for individuals who are brand new to UX and UX software.

When I began transitioning into UX design - I knew I wanted to work on games. But there weren't a lot of actionable resources out there to prepare me (or show me) what I'd be doing. I'm so glad I stumbled upon Elvtr's UX/UI for Gaming taught by Ivy Sang. Ivy is a fantastic instructor and all the content in her class was easy to understand and work on. Honestly, taking that class renewed my passion for getting into the games industry and why I became a UX designer in the first place. If you're looking for some experience in the games industry, I would start here. - C.D

The course was well put together. In-depth knowledge by industry expert. Learned a lot.

The UX/UI Gaming Course with Ivy Sang I took was amazing. ELVTR is very professional and I would recommend using this training platform to anyone.

Great instructor and great flow of the class. I have zero experience in tech and Im not a gamer, but I tried this class to branch out and try new skills to break into the tech industry. As a complete beginner and not very tech saavy (i hardly know how to even use Microsoft word) I can confidently say that this class helped me learn a lot and understand the process and industry more. It also pushed me to learn new skills on programs I’ve never heard of or used before. I recommend this class to everyone from beginner to advanced.

The Black Leaders Course with Dr.Felicia Guity is one of the most educational, engaging and enjoyable leadership courses you will ever take. Dr.Guity will help you hone your leadership philosophy, her authentic, inspirational and real-world examples provide an excellent opportunity to self-analyze and redefine your leadership goals. I have added so many new strategies and techniques to my leadership toolbox and gained ideas from new colleagues who have become friends.

Let me preface this review by saying that I enrolled and then withdrew from the program I enrolled in. The refund process was painless. However, I think the lack of public-facing information about this company and its services needs to be made available ahead of potential students enrolling. While some might find the structure of the program(s) to be beneficial, I did not. Tuition is kept private and there are no positive testimonies outside of Trustpilot (the fact that I couldn't find anything of substance on Reddit is shocking). For starters, the programs are not cheap. I signed up for their Game Producer program and even with a 20% discount (which I assume they offer to everyone), it's still almost $3,000 USD for a six-week program consisting of two 90-minute classes each week. Classes are broken down into a 75-minute lecture, followed by a 15-minute QA. Instructors do offer 30 minutes pre-class for "office hours". As someone who has never taken live, online classes before, this was not a great experience. You have 50+ students on a Zoom call, trying to listen to the instructor give his lesson. Although there is an allocated 15-minute Question period at the end, he was regularly taking questions in the middle of the lecture, both from people asking on video or through the chat. It ruined the flow and often led him to have to rush through a particular section because we were pressed for time. Questions were not short, often leading to 5-10 minute detours in the lecture. For those asking the questions, I guess it's a benefit, but for the rest of us, these could have been asked during office hours or at the end of the lecture. For the class size, I really doubt that unless you're one of the more "active" participants, you're going to get much from the course. If you can't attend the live lecture, then there is absolutely no benefit from learning through the recordings. Class lengths are too long for this kind of format. Rather than doing 12, 90-minute classes for a total of 1,080 minutes,  they probably should reduce the length of each class to a maximum of 60 minutes (50 for the lecture, then 10 minutes to answer questions). You can keep it at six weeks, and just do classes three times a week instead of two. If the lectures were shorter, you'd probably retain more information and people would be less likely to interrupt until the end. Lastly, be wary of their programs when they can't offer any proper "success stories". Most of the programs they offer are for ultra-competitive fields. Over the last few weeks, I went through LinkedIn to find past students who showcase their certificates on their profiles and I couldn't find any that had major success post-program. Again, for the price, I suspect a lot of students go in expecting that this will lead to an improvement in their career. I don't see that happening for 80-90% of those enrolled (myself included).
