Acadium is a fantastic place to meet startup owners and businesses who need help with their business and are willing to leverage your skills. Whether you're a novice, medium-skilled, or expert-level skilled individual, acadium is a perfect place to brush up on those skills you have and also probably land a full-time or part-time job along the way.

I just had a call with Acadium's Co-Founder Richard Shaw to speak about their apprenticeship program and all he did was try and sell me their Acadium plus program which is $5000. He didn't even know how to explain it properly. Then he told me I wasn't a good fit for the program because I wasn't sure if I needed an apprenticeship or a course.

Hi Lealyn, Moe here, CEO of Acadium. I am sorry you feel this way! I spoke with Richard and he explained how he didn't see Acadium a good solution for you. He suggested looking into the Acadium Plus as a friendly suggestion to see if that could help solve your needs. We have recently increased our vetting of apprentices and it sucks that not everyone will get in. With so many applicants we are bound to overlook some talent. I wish you the best in your career search.

Acadium is a great place to gain digital marketing job experience. I have been a member for several months now and am very happy with the progress I have made. You don't need to have any prior marketing experience to join. Acadium offers several free courses to give you a basic understanding of what digital marketing entails. By completing these courses, you will realize which aspects of digital marketing you enjoy most and can customize your profile accordingly. You can then search through the extensive list of mentors in your fields of interest. Upon signing up with Acadium, I immediately received several requests for interviews. I ended up doing two apprenticeships at the same time. Since each apprenticeship only requires 10 hours of your time per week, I found this to be very manageable. My mentors provided me with free guidance and training and I received valuable hands on experience in the work place. Upon finishing the three month long apprenticeships, I was awarded a certificate of completion and excellent references to add to my resume. I learned a lot through this program and would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a career in digital marketing.

I've done only one aprenticeship with Acadium and I feel very empowered. I have doné the studies elsewhere and had no idea how to enter the job market with zero experiece. Now I feel much more confidence, better understanding of my areas of interest in digital marketing. You have to be very self driven and self-organized with aprenticeship in Acadium. Lead your process yourself but that's how things are in real world

Without Acadium's programme, I could never have imagined that I would be able to learn Digital Marketing without any qualifications or foundations. By far the best digital marketing programme and I encourage everyone to join and learn from thousands of mentors all over the world.

I love this opportunity in joining Acadium because when you change careers is really difficult and time-consuming to go back to school to get the necessary degrees needed for a job. But, with Acadium you can start the process of preparing yourself for a career or business. I love the flexibility of the hours per week, which is 10, and the ability to dive into and see what you want out of it at the end, a full-time job, become a freelancer, or start a business. I highly recommend this site to start a career or business in digital marketing.

Has many good opportunities to get experience in digital marketing you can really gain some good experience. Especially if you find someone who has a small digital marketing agency.

Acadium is a good platform, but the people are hit and miss. I have had 6 successful apprentices complete all 3 months, but twice as many have had to be released. Many apprentices do not take the opportunity seriously. They tend to treat it like something extra to fit in their day. The actual app does not work well and it is very challenging to scroll through and find apprentices. The app severely lags, so much so that you can receive a notification about a message, but when you enter the app you can't find it. Also, watch out for people in countries that don't have first world accommodations. I ended up with someone from Nigeria once who had a pirated Adobe license, used a generator for electricity, and had to pay to for internet by the kb.
