About - American Graphics Institute

Overall Feedback:

From May to July, I was looking to switch my career path from a Graphic Designer to a UX Designer. I heard in order to do this, a UX certificate program would be a great starting point to learn the necessary skills to become a UX Designer. I stumbled upon American Graphics Institute while doing my research for UX boot camps in my area and decided to take the UX Design Certificate program. My experience at AGI was a very positive one. I wanted to complete the program as soon as possible and the staff was very accommodating creating a class schedule for me in order to complete the program in a timely manner. When taking the classes, the teachers and staff were very informative on their subject matter and prepared me for a real world UX Design position. They were helpful with any questions I had inside and outside of the classroom. For example, they would provide me with their email at the end of class in case I needed help with something we learned in class. Not only were the classes informative, best of all, the certificate program also provides a personal career counselor that helps prepare you for a UX position. This was the selling point for me because not many other schools provide a career counselor. Bruce, the career counselor, helped improve my Resume and would consistently check in on me with regards to my job search. It was very refreshing to have some guidance while searching for a position. After completing the program, three months later I was offered a position as a Junior UX Design specialist. Although I did not get this UX position through AGI, I would not have been offered this UX Design position without this certificate program. I am forever grateful for this school and the opportunities it has given me.
