Acadium Bewertungen 

Loved my mentor that acadium helped me find. The platform constantly checked in about my progress every two-three weeks. Any concerns and queries were immediately addressed. I would definitely recommend it to everyone else and would benefit from their apprenticeship program again in the future.

The offer of apprentices, the possibility to get a certificate, to get a continuous knowledge via the courses and know great people to collaborate further.

Acadium matched me up with a great mentor. I admit, I was lucky to have hit it with Tammy (GoToYellow) right away when we first met. Tammy listened to my needs, and gave me the tools and access to help develop my skills while helping her business. Overtime, we became close and I often look forward to our chats. We both have busy schedules so it was hard to meet at times, but we made it work. My apprenticeship actually extended beyond the 3 month contract and I still work with her today because she is so lovely and we are accommodating to each other's needs and schedule. Thanks Acadium for bringing us together!

I am someone who is changing careers and searching for ways to start a career in digital marketing. One of my LinkedIn connections recommended Acadium to me, and I have found it to be a fantastic opportunity for beginners to gain practical experience and understanding. I highly recommend Acadium to anyone looking to start their journey in the field of digital marketing.

We have been a non-stop subscriber since the company was called GenM many years ago. We had a couple of successful internships along with several more that were definitely more hassle than they were worth. The only predictable aspect was Acadium’s increasingly predatory business practices. Nowadays they will lock you in, steal credits you have already paid for if you cancel sub, and will change pricing structures at their whim.

The final straw for us was a price increase from $147 to $499/quarter which we were not aware of and did not consent to. Within days of being charged we reached out to support and requested a refund (we had not used the service in over two years). The answer was a dismissive ‘no chance’ using a few more words.

Avoid this company - they do not respect you and will screw you over sooner or later.

I got a mentor and she taught all she knew which was what I was looking for. Acadium also provided an apprentice advisor. So if I had any other questions about the apprenticeship, that wasn't specifically for my mentor, my apprentice advisor was there to assist me via email.

I had an alright experience with their internship program, although it required a lot of effort on our part to manage everything. Overall, the experience was just okay. Unfortunately, as the internship was nearing its end, I was unexpectedly charged for a new internship that I never requested. I promptly reached out to them to cancel and request a refund because I hadn't received any notification about the renewal. However, they refused to refund my payment, claiming that their system had sent a notification.

To my surprise, I later found the notification buried in my spam folder, and it came with a Google warning that said, "This message seems dangerous. Similar messages were used to steal people's personal information. Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information." I pointed this out to their "Subscription Success Manager," but all I received in return was a snarky comment thanking me for confirming that I had received the email.

If you're a startup with tight budgets, I highly recommend exploring alternative services. I now find myself stuck with a $556 USD bill for a service I don't want, and they refuse to provide a refund. This situation is completely unacceptable. Their customer service is terrible and borders on being scammy.

They were easy to work with and helped me to find a very qualified marketing apprentice. I was most impressed with my apprentice. She didn't always have all of the answers but she was willing to learn.

Acadium provided me with a mentor who not only helped me apply digital marketing skills but also helped me add tangible results for my portfolio to show to future hiring managers and clients as a freelancer. 5/5 would recommend as a way to get your foot in the door!

Acadium is a good platform to learn,work and grow.
I had a great experience with my apprenticeship,my Mentor and Acadium team helped and supported throughout the program.
They also provide Acadium plus and freelancing opportunity which is of great help to students and business owners.

Acadium introduced me to a great mentor that helps me to start and get a feel of what I need to do to pivot to a new career. I definitely give Acadium a recommendation for everyone to try once.

I had a great experience during my apprenticeship via Acadium. I was looking to gain some more experience in social media marketing and found the platform via word of mouth.

After looking at the opportunities available, I applied for a digital marketing internship with a dog friendly listings platform (the dream!) and managed to secure the spot after an interview with my mentor.

I had a little experience in social media marketing before applying, but this opportunity allowed me to get some real hands on experience with an exciting startup. My mentor was incredible and I could tell she was really clued up on managing apprentices via the platform. I was provided with a comprehensive info pack, guidance and training and even given access to a full social media course which I could do in my own time. My role included managing their social channels, creating content with user generated images and videos, coming up with content ideas, writing affiliate blog posts and also assisting with their Facebook group.

It was a great experience and after my apprenticeship was over, my mentor hired me back on a freelance basis! Since my apprenticeship, I've gone into virtual assistant work and then ultimately landed up in web development. Without it, I may not be where I am today career wise so truly a five star experience!

For any apprentices looking for opportunities, I would definitely check with your mentor what sort of training and guidance they will provide, and how they will support you during your apprenticeship before committing to someone. There are lots of opportunities out there, and the best ones will be those that treat the apprenticeship as a training programme, and not just free labour.

The Acadium platform itself was also really good, super user friendly and love that you get a certificate at the end of your programme. Really helpful for those who are trying to break into the digital industry!

It's been a while since I've been an Acadium apprentice, but the experience I had inside the platform was wonderful! I met and worked with amazing mentors, who also has been my connections after my apprenticeship, and some, I even worked with as a VA after my apprenticeship.

The platform is very easy to use and the coordinators are very friendly and accommodating.

Thank you so much for a very great experience, Acadium!

Acadium's program offers accountability, transparency and alignment between its participating apprentices and the companies they serve through weekly check-ins (featuring scores in four categories + two brief written reviews). Additionally, apprentices are also encouraged to provide private notes about their contact person/mentor at the sponsoring organization. Overall, this process ensures and engagement in a space made safe by several checks and balances--where participants don't get abused, or have their ' talents and time wasted, and it's less than likely that companies are taken for granted. This set of circumstances creates a win/win situation for all involved.

My apprenticeship was a great experience. My mentor was great and Acadium was there every step of the way ready to answer any questions or support me in any way.

Cannot say anything about their core offering. But their affiliate program apparently is either a scam or mis-managed. The report showing a customer generated through my affiliate link for which I should be paid. But no payment received ever. Wrote to their affiliate team but no response.

It is not guaranteed that Acadium will give you an apprenticeship with a company as a digital/social media marketer. They require you to download their app on your phone in order to even register with them. They don't even check your full resume and credentials before they accept or deny you. They didn't bother to check my LinkedIn profile at all (you are able to tell who views your LinkedIn profile) before they denied me. They send you an email before denying or accepting you encouraging you to sign up for "premium" courses that they offer. I've been studying social media marketing for two years and have several certifications to verify it and they still denied my apprenticeship. They give priority to people that purchase their courses, in all honesty. They are just a money-making venture that lures prospective digital marketers to procure their services so that they can make a profit.

UPDATE: Just more lies from Acadium. See how unprofessional they are in their response to my post? See how they make personal attacks against me? They don't even adhere to or read the guidelines provided by Trustpilot on how to respond to negative reviews against them in a professional and ethical way. It just proves my point on how incompetent they are. This is all they said to me in rejecting my application: "After reviewing your profile, we’ve decided not to proceed with your application at this time." They did not give me ANY feedback other than that, nor did they "express" why I was rejected other than that statement, and other than suggesting that I pay for "advanced" courses from them. And they did not "vet" my application. As I said in my original review and complaint, they did not even view my LinkedIn profile AT ALL, which has all of my work and educational experience listed on it, even more so than my resume. You would think that being in the social media business that they would make it a priority to view one's professional resume and credentials on such a substantial business/employment social media site like LinkedIn, yet they did not even bother to view it (as I said before, you are able to tell who views your resume and credentials on LinkedIn). I focused on my career for two years and have substantial education and professional certifications in the field of digital marketing and they still would not let me "succeed" with them. And I did not "harass" or "threaten" their staff or use "explicit" language at all. I did, however, tell them that I will post a negative review about them - which I have done. Because they deserve it. As I stated previously, you can tell how improper and awkward their behavior is with their response and attitude towards my complaint and review against them. It just proves my point by virtue of how amateurish and negligent they are and that they merely want you to PAY for their courses that they offer in ORDER for you to get their apprenticeship services from them. My advice is: Move On from Acadium, just as they have instructed me to do. They simply want you to purchase their courses, and if you don't, they won't accept you or assign you a mentorship.

Acadium really cares about its students. The whole organization exudes quality. They really want you to succeed. From Erik Harbison on down, Acadium fosters genuine accountability and caring. Most importantly, their apprenticeship model evokes a more quality driven time of excellence to which we are beginning to swing back.

Acadium was a great solution for us as a new company when we were trying to get our online presence launched; it was a very seamless process that allowed us to get going quickly for a very affordable cost.
