A great experience! I am just blessed to have had the chance to be an apprentice through Acadium. This journey has completely changed my situation, as I completed the apprenticeship with PokitPal. Currently, I am working for that company as a Marketing Associate. You can imagine how great my experience with PokitPal was. Throughout my apprentice journey, Acadium's support team was always there for me. Acadium is the best place to start your journey if you are in Digital Marketing. Again, thank you so much to the entire Acadium team for helping me in this way.

Predatory business practices We have been a non-stop subscriber since the company was called GenM many years ago. We had a couple of successful internships along with several more that were definitely more hassle than they were worth. The only predictable aspect was Acadium’s increasingly predatory business practices. Nowadays they will lock you in, steal credits you have already paid for if you cancel sub, and will change pricing structures at their whim. The final straw for us was a price increase from $147 to $499/quarter which we were not aware of and did not consent to. Within days of being charged we reached out to support and requested a refund (we had not used the service in over two years). The answer was a dismissive ‘no chance’ using a few more words. Avoid this company - they do not respect you and will screw you over sooner or later.

Acadium has been a wonderful… Acadium has been a wonderful opportunity for me to mentor young interns while receiving quality work and ideas from a younger generation. So far, both of my interns have completed their tasks in honorable fashion...very proud of them both!

Grossly Unqualified Interns I joined Acadium three months ago. I have had three separate interns during that time. The first had no idea what they were doing. The next two quit unexpectedly in the second week after I had done all the front-end onboarding work (I did it with each intern, probably 20hours of my time total). None of them were able to perform even basic social media marketing, even after several hours of one-on-one mentoring. In the end, Acadium has my money (no refund policy) and I spent too many hours with clearly unqualified interns and absolutely zero help with my business. I don't know where they find the interns, but clearly they are not very discerning. I will also say their sales team is high pressure, the kind where I'll talk to my manager price but you have to sign up today - I can't believe I fell for it. Could not recommend them less.

Thanks a lot Team Acadium! I was a recent graduate of Digital Marketing from U of T and lacked experience in professional settings. I learned a lot through the apprenticeship experience from Acadium. My mentor Zed was an amazing coach. I gained the skill set to help me apply for a full-time job and polished my professional and interpersonal skills to a level that I feel comfortable enough to go through a job interview with confidence. the Acadium team members were amazingly supportive throughout my apprenticeship experience. Thanks a lot! Team Acadium.
