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.

Very satisfied with their service and guidance Loved my mentor that acadium helped me find. The platform constantly checked in about my progress every two-three weeks. Any concerns and queries were immediately addressed. I would definitely recommend it to everyone else and would benefit from their apprenticeship program again in the future.

Business Business. Would not recommmend. Interns were not of quality our company was searching for. Inquired about an amicable pro-rated refund which company was unwilling to entertain. They talk about refunds for "unique circumstances" and "internal refund policy".

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.

Great experience! My time with Acadium has been fantastic. The platform offers an impressive array of resources and is incredibly well-organized. Throughout my apprenticeship, I felt supported yet given the freedom to learn independently. I successfully completed my apprenticeship, and if I were to offer advice, I'd suggest clarifying goals with your mentor beforehand. Overall, I highly recommend Acadium for anyone looking for a structured and supportive start to their career journey.
