Quick and impactful
Read more Read less of Robert Bush's review
I absolutely love how the courses are concise and relevant. When I decided to go into IT, I didn’t exactly have a lot of money saved up, so long courses with lots of unnecessary information weren’t my kind of thing, since I needed to get done as quickly as possible.
To cut it short, I graduated from the Sales course and currently have a decent salary and am looking for a promotion within 2-3 months. Lucky me! :) -

Careerist Tech Sales course

One of Careerist’s advantages is that they provide full support for their graduates until the job contract is signed. I graduated from the Sales Engineering course and had the platform’s support all the way until I got a job 2 months after graduating. I absolutely love how the course is organized so you get so much more than just lectures. The course itself is rather short but it really upgrades your skills at warp speed thanks to the internships and guidance from the mentors who all work in the sales sphere and help you with your resume after graduation.
Another advantage of the course is that the mentors are always open to your questions, before, after, and of course during the classes. -

QA Manual
Read more Read less of Nevenka P.'s review
Today, I’ve graduated from the QA Manual boot camp. To all of those who came before me — thank you for paving the way. The lectures and the following internships were constructive, invigorating and highly encouraging for a fruitful professional success. I can see myself working in this field. Specially, during the internships ( two of them following each other) we encountered many “bugs” and some blockers. Nevertheless, we were well trained to approach assigned issues in JIRA and ’Verify’ accordingly in TestRail.
A big applause to careerist. -

As for me, the best thing about Careerist courses is that they are done in a bootcamp format.

You have tons of materials and studying to do but the information given is the knowledge you will actually need. You get loads of homework but it’s the practical skills that you sharpen by doing it. The classes are quite intense but you can always ask a question and get a proper reply. What I’m trying to say is that you get a lot of important information that you will be able to apply in a very short amount of time. There is always the option to rewatch a lesson on the internal Careerist platform of course, but if you are a quick learner this bootcamp approach is the best since we’re all aiming to get a job in the end. -
Lisa Lynch
Informative and helpful
When I first contacted the Careerist team, I didn’t know which course to choose. The career advisor recommended manual QA to me as a beginner. I took this course and now I can say that’s very well-structured and understandable. What I enjoy the most is practical tips and real cases from the teacher’s personal experience as it gives an insider look at the sphere

1:1 coaching was the best part
I was homeschooled and I realize the difference between group classes and individual ones. However, I started a group course to better feel the vibes of working in tech. I selected Careerist because of 1:1 coaching. I extremely enjoyed my conversations with the coaches! They always found enough time for me and gave comprehensive answers to all my questions. -

Thanks for help getting my first job in IT!

I finished the Manual QA course with Careerist, and I am very glad that I've done it! I was skeptical from the beginning, but after a year of working in the IT industry, I must say that their training program equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the field of software testing. And even more! The instructors are experienced professionals who provide hands-on training and guidance throughout the course. The other great thing about Careerist is that mentors assist students in finding job opportunities, and lead them in job seeking process. -
Julie Hubbard
The course was pretty decent. Let’s see how long it will take me to find a job…
Everything was fine but I wish there were more interactivity. And I wouldn’t mind studying a bit longer to get more knowledge and compose a larger portfolio. I studied Systems Engineering. It was a bit difficult but nice. I’m trying to find my first tech job now, wish me luck!

It’s more than learning how to use Adobe tools

I’m a self-taught designer. Before I enrolled in the UX design course, I knew how to cope with the creative part of this job. But I knew nothing about user flow analysis, hypothesis development and other aspects related to research. The Careerist team showed me that design isn’t only about visual aesthetics. It’s a mix of business and science which is enjoyable and not so difficult. Thaanks so much, the course was top-notch!

Enjoying my new job
Read more Read less of German Denisov's review
I used to be suspicious of all the online courses… there are so many of them and they teach the same skills. What matters for me is real success stories of both teachers and graduates. Careerist graduates work for tech giants such as meta or amazon. And teachers are current practitioners! That’s why I opted for Careerist. Now the funniest thing… When I graduated, I accepted an offer from a startup and not a tech giant because the conditions were simply superb…

Manual QA - WIP review
Read more Read less of Rafael Y's review
I have just finished the first internship. I have not yet gone through the real internship, the mentorship or the the job searching tool, that is why this is a WIP review
Like any other course, whether it is online or in an university, this bootcamp have really good teachers that really know what they are talking about and are able to answer to random questions or give real life examples as well as simplified examples and also have teachers that they may be really good at their jobs, but they are not really good at teaching, some of them just read the slides and may have some difficulty trying to explain some concepts that may be obvious to a professional, but not so much to a beginner.
The first internship was really good, I was lucky to have the lead that I got, she was able to explain all the steps needed during the assignments of the tasks. This was definitely necessary to review some of the concepts that were not super clear to some of my classmates.
I am currently doing the second internship I look forward to meet with the mentors and to start using the job searching tool. -
Cynthia Ridgeway
Knowledgeable, Helpful, encouraging.
I would highly recommend Careerist if you are wanting to break into tech. I was skeptical at first(didn't know what to expect). I have now graduated and am about to do my internship outside of Careerist. My instructors are absolutely wonderful and really are available if you need help or don't know something. Thank you to everybody here at Careerist! -

Careerist is a truly exceptional Manual QA school. The teachers' unwavering support and dedication made the learning experience outstanding. They genuinely cared about our understanding, patiently answering questions and guiding us through the material. Their focus on real-world application equipped us with the skills needed for success. With their friendly and supportive approach, Careerist felt like a nurturing environment where we could thrive. I am grateful for the invaluable experience and highly recommend Careerist for anyone seeking a fulfilling career in QA. -

Exceptional Education

Careerist has exceeded all my expectations as a school/boot camp. I am thoroughly impressed with their top-notch courses and the dedication of their instructors. The way they ensure students are receptive to the information is remarkable, offering quizzes that reinforce knowledge and promote active learning.
The ongoing support from the instructors has been instrumental in my success. They genuinely care about the students' progress and go the extra mile to assist us whenever needed, creating a supportive and motivating environment.
The internship provided by Careerist was an absolute delight. It added a practical dimension to my learning, intensifying my understanding and preparing me for the real-world challenges in my chosen field.
Overall, my experience with Careerist has been nothing short of exceptional. The combination of well-structured courses, engaging teaching methods, and valuable hands-on experience has truly enriched my learning journey. I would highly recommend Careerist to anyone seeking a comprehensive and rewarding educational experience. -

Careerist manual Qa course
This program was nothing but amazing. The classes where good easy to follow, the staff was amazing they answered every question in a great time frame. The internal internship was great as well The tram lead (viki) was nothing short of amazing. She was very knowledgeable, patient she made everything a breeze. -
Steve O Leung
Well spaced and no pressure
A very interesting course that is well planned and focused not only on learning the job, but also getting the job, they offer free classes to see if it is something you would like. I really appreciated the ability to reach out for support, however one must also apply themselves to get the course done in a timely manner. -

I’m a QA tester now!
Read more Read less of Billy Banks's review
When choosing a tech course I considered only the options with a money-back guarantee. Careerist promises to give back 100% of the tuition fee to those who fail to get employed within 1 year after graduation. It made me feel more confident and I began to trust it more. I wanted a fully remote QA job with a flexible schedule and a decent salary. It took me four months to find such a job. Maybe, I could have coped faster. But honestly I didn’t concentrate my efforts exclusively on job search.

Great Bootcamp very well taught
Read more Read less of Dustin Nunn's review
All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the materials in a way that a beginner can understand. They also took the time to explain any questions multiple times if necessary. The coursework was great and laid out in a way that is not overwhelming to a beginner like myself. The internal internship was really good it helps build your confidence in your new skill sets. My Lead Helen was absolutely amazing. She explained everything in detail and gave good feedback both positive and negative but always in a way to build you up. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to get into the tech field. -
Andreev Demyan
Thanks for all
I saw people here talking about how difficult it is to change spheres and begin studying something new, but very few mentioned that paying for the courses can also be a problem for some people. Thanks to the payment splitting option that Careerist has I was actually able to afford a course! That’s awesome, especially if you take into account that I managed to get a job in the end. Thanks a lot! -

No Jobs available!

I did manual QA with Careerist, you learned a lot within a short time, and the internal project was a good experience. However, the QA lead of the external project wasn’t good with communication and could not elaborate on the tasks properly, but overall it was ok. The downside of the program is, Careerist is not honest with the Job market. It is challenging and almost impossible to find Jobs based on only manual QA experience; employers want people with QA Automation experience. I would have appreciated it if they were honest about this and gladly paid for the manual QA + Automation combo, knowing there would be a job for me when I finish the course. Careerist prefers when you do the manual QA first and then advise you and expect you to pay for the automation course(extra $4000) if you don’t get a job; that’s manipulation. It’s not a bad program/investment if jobs are available, but there aren’t; I’ve been looking for one for the past three months! So how can I pay a $4200 loan without a job? They also assured me of a money-back guarantee, but I doubt they will give me back my money if I don’t get a job; just another lie/scam.Farida of Careerist

I’ve graduated from the manual QA course by Careerist which is my first experience in tech sphere.
Read more Read less of Claudia's review
I had no technical background before and I expected that it would be quite difficult for me to understand everything. But in fact it turned out to be a really well-structured course with detailed information presented in a comprehensible form. But the best thing for me is that mentors do really help not to give up - they don’t only explain complex issues but also motivate and support. Now it’s 2.5 months after the course, my mentor still keeps in touch with me and I finally have my first offers! I’m very happy and thankful ☺️ -

Useful course! Interesting and effective
Read more Read less of Antonio's review
Changing your life and starting over from scratch is always difficult, and if you are willing to try your hand at the IT sector you have to be highly motivated... What I want to say is that Careerist is not just a bunch of qualification courses. Careerist courses have 2 very important points that I can relate to. First – the tutors, the group, and the atmosphere itself keeps you on your toes and motivated. And second – you get hands-on experience through internships and a lot of help with your resume, Linkedin, and other profiles, so at the end of the day the course is made in such a way that you actually get a job in the sphere instead of just finishing another useless course. -

Careerist was awesome

I recently completed the Manual quality assurance course with Careerist. From inception to completion, I had a good experience. The course is well structured and organized. All the tutors were very professional and knowledgeable. They were all very patient and took their time to explain in detail all the information being taught and provided clarity when needed.
All sessions were recorded, so lessons can be reviewed limitless times for better understanding if needed. Live chat service was also very efficient ( Even at night) whenever I had any queries. Internship stage also went very well, my team leads were awesome!

I had a great experience learning Manual QA skills at Careerist! The instructors were very clear on the explanation of the content that was taught and the lessons were easy to understand. My first internship was also a great experience led by my team leader Daria Harashchenko! She was very helpful by directing on how to do the tasks on our daily meetings and also with a summary after every meeting that was also helpful to deliver the assignments with no difficulties. -
Henry Okoh
Sales Engineering Course
This bootcamp was an interesting experience. The instructors are very insightful and experienced. They provided so much information! It was definitely hard for me initially to keep up with all the lessons. The job mentor assistance could be better, because i feel like its lacking quality for those who want to get a job immediately, even though they give you some good resources to start with. -

They are saying that the situation changed in qthe market that's why you guys can't find a job..
No one said that when we were in the course, I am sending my resume from the first day when I finished the careerist courses. Around 10.000 resumes I sent already No one asked me what we learned in the course. They are teaching nothing in the courses. For more than 1 year I got 2-3 interview and they all asked for the selenium with java, cucumber, gitd, Microsoft programs, amazon programs, data base and act..I want my money back, you guys doing a scam, I'll do my best to get my paid $3500 money back...The course owner lied to us by showing a couple of old students who were working already or I don't know, maybe just paid for that and promote the manual scam qaFarida of Careerist

Careerists grabbing big money, you can buy better courses in Udemy, but these guys only get the money but didn't teach anything.

This is an overpriced program with generic information you can access online for free. The mentor I had was very inexperienced and I felt cheated because the company advertised their mentorship program as one with experienced mentors. The resume writing assistance along with JAS application software they speak about are just selling points. In reality, it’s mostly DIY, where the resume writer gives you feedback and you input her suggestions yourself. The mentorship program is very shady, my understanding was that it would be with a real company but instead it’s what they call a “simulator internship,” where they repeat the same process that was carried out during regular classes. I would not recommend this course to anyone, keep your money!Farida of Careerist

Great bootcamp with minor issues
I had an awesome experience with Careerist. The teachers were great. My only issue would be with some of the curriculum, it could have more information with intricacies that will better develop students in the QA field. The best part of the bootcamp was my mentor Sofiia, she has gone above and beyond with me even though she has many other mentees. -

Comprehensive and all inclusive preparation for Software Manual Tester role
Read more Read less of Rigan P Patel's review
In February I stumbled upon an online program, joined FREE webinar, and decided to immediately join it. The program was focused on the Manual tester role in Software industry. It was to the point. I loved how instructors covered only what is needed to learn in order to perform the job as well as to impress the interview. Each module was followed by quiz, our group on slack allowed us to answer questions regarding study, support team is fantastic, replied to our emails within ten minutes. After our study is over, we are assigned a mentor, who helped us prepare our resume, our linkedin profile and job interview Q&As. This level of personal attention is great value for the program! We are provided with two internships in order to gain real world experience of what QA is going to actually do at work. Much better investment than a four year college! Ten stars -

Good, structured study plan. Great team
Read more Read less of Francisco A.'s review
The program is well structured and pretty straightforward for someone who has basic tech understanding. The classes are consistently challenging but on a chill pace so I never felt like I as falling behind, and had the opportunity to revisit lessons and materials to answer some questions that popped out during my own exploration of the technology we'll be using.
The instructors have real world experience in the field and not only did they answer questions related to the subjects they were teaching us about, but also shared their experiences getting into QA and working in different companies with al kinds of teams. The support team was on hand most of the time and helped us navigate the program. And after finishing the 7 weeks of lessons, the internal project and pre-internship team really helped us fully use all the terms, technology, tasks and standards we learned along the way. It helped me polish the knowledge I attained in the previous weeks and put it to use.
I'm about to start my internship next week, and in a few weeks I'll be out there looking for a job in a brand new (for me) career that was completely out of my sight just 4 months ago. From what I've been told, we will have someone mentoring us until we land a job, so I'm excited about that and about the road ahead. -

I am glad to share that I had the opportunity to take a Manual QA course with Careerist, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. The course provided a solid foundation of knowledge that enabled me to step into the software testing field with confidence. The instructors were highly experienced and took great care to ensure that all the concepts were well-explained. I only wish I had discovered this course earlier in my career transition.
Moreover, the mentor provided by Careerist was a great help during my job search. My mentor Sofiia provided guidance and support throughout the entire process, which I really appreciate. She is always there to guide and support.
I highly recommend Careerist to anyone who is looking to make a career change in a short amount of time and is interested in getting into software testing. The course provides a good starting point and equips you with the necessary skills to enter the field. -
