UX/UI for Gaming - 7 Week Course I joined a UX/UI course for gaming that was led by Ivy Sang. I went into it with very basic visual design knowledge, a website development background, and a big passion for video games. My goal taking this course was to gain the confidence to be able to switch careers. This course definitely met my expectations, I really enjoyed it and thought every class was informative, well laid out and very insightful. I feel like I learned a lot and am even feeling confident enough to tackle self-paced courses to hone my skills even further, now. Our program manager, Lynn Thompson, was super helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. The course felt seamless, clear and enjoyable.

Updated: Unethical Business Practice Update: Per the reply, they were able to honor the original course price so I am updating the review. I will update the review again after the course. I was in the process of signing up for a course. I had started the approval process at work to get the course approved based on an invoice they gave me that was due March 7th. When I completed the approval process, the rep informed me they had decided not to honor the original invoice date of March 7th and "updated" the invoice to be a higher cost ($600 more). Since when are invoices "updated" when the company decides to charge more? They have an unethical business practice of baiting in customers with a price and then increasing the price at a later time. They still had seats, they just didn't want to offer them at the cost we agreed on. Overall very unhappy with this experience. I highly doubt the quality of this course given the low quality of their bait and switch business practice. I was lured in with one price and then the price switched before I had a chance to settle on the due date of the invoice. It's probably a good thing I didn't waste my annual tuition funds on this course.

I was not prepared for how… I was not prepared for how professional, how supportive and genuine my instructors Adam and Alex would be for my game narrative course (Sabina you are our biggest cheerleader too and we all thank you for that.) I never would've guessed this class was as new as it was for how informative, helpful and resourceful it was. ELVTR makes sure you not only feel safe to learn to create, but pushes you with a community driven approach that felt it worked better than a lot of college courses I've taken.

Fintech Product Design The course material was excellent and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to move into fintech product design. Our instructor Maya was engaging and provided specialist industry insight you simply won't find in any other course.

Lots of patience and kindness I've struggled with class environments my whole life. I've never felt so comfortable. Sabina of the staff is incredibly kind, understanding, and very human. Adam was a fantastic person to learn from and ask questions of. He was honest, and he had no problem rephrasing his answers when needed. I struggled outside of class due to personal family concerns, and the accommodations I was given made such a huge difference. I thought I needed to drop out and give up, but I've been given the time needed to pick myself up and prove I deserve the chance offered to me. I don't know if any other words can express the gratitude I have for this opportunity and for the help I received. And now, I feel like I've also been able to make friends, hopefully for the long term, in this class, who also helped me out so much. I genuinely hope other people get to experience what I did.
