From someone who does UX work full time in DD; GA classes are a waste of time and does not have any credibility in the industry. You're better off using the free Lynda subscription we get at Deloitte, doing the ideo free courses (go for about 8 weeks and project driven) and getting hands on experience building a portfolio. You can also reach out to DD people through your contacts to find out how to get more involved in UX and make it a career.

I met someone from Booze that took a leave of absence to attend. They paid out of pocket. I would try to use some of the NTAP funds if you make a business case for it a partner would pay.

If you have a purpose and how you will help the firm it might work

Depends on your service line, @OP. If you're in Digital, I don't imagine they'd pay for it.

OP what level are you ?? It is imp to know to guide you further

I'm an SC - DD1, thanks for the advice! Being somewhat outside of that and wanting to break in, I had no idea GA wasn't held in high regard. I'll definitely network with folks to try to figure it out.

Really depends on who owns your charge code. It's all about your practice utilization first and then fitness of the class for future business ops within the practice.
