SV Academy -

Chris Jones

The SV Academy full-time program proved to be an intense experience, packed with invaluable teachings and hands-on opportunities that were instrumental in jump-starting my career change. Given the competitive job market, as someone with prior experience, venturing into the tech industry required a way to set myself apart and shape the narrative of my career path. SV Academy provided exactly that, empowering me with sought-after skills and preparing me to exceed expectations right from day one.

What made the program truly exceptional was the post-program mentoring and coaching, which proved to be immensely beneficial. Even after securing a job, SV Academy continued to support me, guiding me through the new role, assisting in daily challenges, and fostering relationships with superiors and colleagues. This comprehensive approach surpassed my expectations, and I cannot express enough gratitude to SV Academy and my fellow cohort members for making this transformative journey possible.

Compassionate leadership. Solid tech sales training. Unbeatable after program support and career coaching. Actual results.

My mentors, coaches, and instructors literally supported me through every step of the process.

I had a temp sales job 2 weeks out of the program and a signed job offer in 6 weeks which quadrupled my income.

The learning environment is designed to feel like you’re in a tech job as, in my case, an SDR.

I never had a desk job in my life. Was a little intimidated by what I would have to learn in order to be successful and SV just made it all possible.

The network is lifelong and some of the people that I keep in touch with the most these days are friends and colleagues that I made in SV Academy.

So many reasons to do this program!

100% Honest Review of SVA. Joining was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, the most unethical organization with predatory loan practices. They try to make you feel special by claiming they only accept 2% of candidates when the truth is they will take anyone with a heartbeat and can read basic English. They prey on people's desperation for a new job and sales pitch of making big bucks in the tech industry, then leave you with 10k in debt, and in a worst situation then you started, they say culty things like just trust the process. The reality is that 1% of graduates might get a job in the tech industry while the rest end up getting jobs in their old careers and are left with 10k in debt. People stay in hopes of getting jobs with their partners but it’s all the biggest scam. They only market success stories and are professional digital marketers running the biggest MLM scam. Once you're done with the course they force you to leave a good review, ( All positive reviews are fake ) they then offer you a $750.00 affiliate program for every new recruit to get you to pay down your 10k debt that you will be paying off for the next two years, Rahim & his wife could care less for helping underserved communities and only care about their bottom line and pleasing their investors. The course is the biggest joke and all of the information can be found online for free, they lack follow through on their word and leave you in worse financial ruins than you started. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. If I can save anyone the heartache of joining this corrupt unethical bootcamp, I've done good.

SV Academy has been a dream! Excellent training opportunity, communication, curriculum, and support ! For someone transitioning into the tech industry this was such a smooth process ! Then the hiring process was a journey but the mindset instilled during my month training helped me to prosper in my search and it’s exactly what the recruiters/hiring team and now I can say coworkers were looking for! Thank you SV Academy !

I repeatedly saw SV Academy ads on my Instagram feed and thought the program was a scam. Decided to research more, ended up joining....and got placed in a Sales role in tech within a month of completing the course. I now make way more $ than I did at my previous job.

If you're wondering whether SV Academy can help you land a nice paying, entry-level role in tech (be it in Sales or Customer Success) the answer is yes...BUT, you have to be willing to put in the work. The program is demanding and a lot will be expected of you, but it'll pay off in the end --- IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DO THE WORK. Be prepared to be pushed hard and work late nights.

What you put into the program is what you'll get out of it. SV Academy has the connections to place you in front of lots of companies for initial interviews, but it's ultimately on you to EARN the job and out-compete the other applicants.

The "CS You" program is an intense month of training and self-reflection. I'm sure one aspect or another will be a challenge but, you will gain practical knowledge of the work of Customer Success within the SaaS industry and discover your unique value proposition. The job hunt is competitive, and SV Academy's tools will prepare you to stand out. Everyone involved will have your back if you put in the work because they reflect the growth mindset that's encouraged. As a perpetual student, I can say with some authority that SV Academy is doing it right. I applaud the audacious goal to diversify the tech industry, let alone their success in establishing a virtual community that grows stronger with each graduating cohort.

Organized, insightful, thought-provoking, & consistency are all words I would use to describe my experience at SV Academy. The support from the instructors the recruiters, and even the CO-Founder Rahim really confirmed my decision to finish out strong on this journey. My gratitude goes out to my fellow classmates as well as strong will individuals looking to make a change in their careers. No doubt in my mind, this was the correct choice for me to make.

SV Academy is great! In short, I was able to land an internship in tech after a few weeks of their 1 month bootcamp. Then after 4 months, I was hired full time. Not only that, but I was able to create a solid community of colleagues that were also new to the customer success industry. I'm super grateful for the opportunities that opened up because of SV Academy and CS You.

Though many doors opened up through this program, you have to want it. There is a good amount of work that you must put in through the bootcamp. This wasn't something that I was able breeze through, but I'm incredibly happy I put in the hours that I did.

To be transparent, there were limited internship spots post-bootcamp, but the SV team did work hard to find opportunities for those of us who did not receive an internship right away.
