GBI completed the UX/UI Design for Gaming… I completed the UX/UI Design for Gaming for gaming course at ELVTR. It was a great opportunity to work directly with Ivy, she has a lot knowledge on the industry and on the UX/UI practices. Ivy did an amazing job explaining the concepts, and the team provided constructive feedback on each assignment to further improve my skills. Overall a great experience, I would recommend the course to anyone interested in starting out on the UX/UI Design for gaming industry, like myself. There is a lot of information to be learned and the course provides just that! More so, learning from someone who works in the industry gives you a great insight on how everything works.

GBUpdated: 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.

GBI took the Financial Services in AI ML I took the Financial Services in AI ML course in their first cohort and I really enjoy the time learning with the instructors! The course walkthrough almost all main perspective in financial services with AI use case , and come with hands on coding exercise to give you an idea on the technical perspective. This course is unique because it is taught by 2 instructors, Paul and James, they both show great passion about teaching and very experienced in this domain, and one focus more on teaching the concept and another can focus more on the technical side, and they both are strong in both theory and technical. They both are still working at Wells Fargo full time, so they can share more on how real world scenarios and implementation would look like, that is something I really prefer to have. I should mention that it depends on your experience and expectation, you may find some area is lightly walkthrough while other areas is more in depth, eventually the course time are limited, so not every area can be as in depth as everyone hope for, but it gives a great overview and you can ask specific question in Office Hour to expand some knowledge that you think not cover in-depth enough, but try to ask earlier since there can have so many students asking question. And for experienced coder, you may find the exercise simple, but for people who has not coded before may find it difficult, and for some people it is just about right. The good thing is instructor is pretty understanding about it and try to help out less experienced student and increase a bit difficulty for more experienced students. Great customer services! They are patient with me to explain the curriculum and handle my request. Given the amount of query they may have to handle daily, I feel it’s incredible they can maintain this customer service level throughout my interaction. Anyway, just to wrap up, thank you instructor Paul and James for the fun learning experience, and thanks for the customer service team Saul and Alex and other staff I have spoken to for maintain great customer service level !

GBIvy Sang, Industry experience, Portfolio piece I really enjoyed Ivy Sang as teacher. She is the best part of the class. Her industry knowledge plus her candor and personable teaching style makes the class stand out among other UX classes. Juan, who is currently a Tech UI Designer at Bungie was also a great associate instructor. The portfolio piece you get in the end is awesome. And the portfolio feedback was super helpful in learning about communication and design judgement.
