    Thorough, Hands-On Experience with Great Instructors

    Careerist has helped continue my professional education in the UI/UX design industry. It enabled me to increase my skills and confidence in areas that I felt were lacking in order for me to pursue better job opportunities. I have finished the first part of the course and am about to start the internship where we break off into groups and work under a professional design lead for a real company. I'm very excited to work in a group and on a real client. I am impressed by all of the instruc...

    Amazing and Wonderful Experience!

    Careerist has already changed my life for the better! I have amazing teachers, mentors and coaches. Everyone has been very supportive throughout the whole journey. I am at the end of my Manual Qa course, but I can't wait to start my QA Automation course next. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting a better job, higher pay, or better career, to try Careerist. It has truly been life changing!

    Finding work+life+school balance with Software Manual QA Training through Careerist

    I will tell anyone who asks me how happy I have been with my choice of program through Careerist to train as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer. My experience to this point right up to my "real world" internship and entry into the job market has been absolutely 100% what the webinar about the program promised. 

    Here's some bullet points to keep the affirmation precise: 
    • It was a fast track into the tech field. The entire Manual QA course is paced to get you in and...

    My dream came true!

    I’d been wanting to get a job in IT for a while, but I didn’t quite understand what to start with, since they all ask for at least some experience and knowledge. A friend of mine told me about Careerist and I thought that it was worth a try, and I’m glad I did! True, the education process was fast paced and rather difficult, and finding a job was too. Anyway, it was all worth it. Now I can enjoy working from home, from anywhere really, and my salary is about 50% more than it was at my ol...

    Careerist Fraud

    I took Manual Qa class from Careerist. Advisor promised me that if I don’t get job within 30 days after I finish the course ,I would get 100% money-back guarantee. I finished my course on time and they couldn’t find me job interview so I called the customer service to request money back but it got denied saying the advisor was wrong 😑. Stay away big fraud

    Seasoned, Effective, Interesting

    I'll always recommend this program, it literally helped me get into the tech bubble. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, the materials are detailed and self-explanatory. The experience I got during the internship afterward was beneficial. My mentor was quite responsive and prepared me well for my interviews. After applying for jobs, with the help of JAS, I was able to ace most of my interviews and secured three offers at the end of three months...

    Shady and Scammers - Sales Engineering Program

    I am regretting attending Careerist instead of another boot camp. The program guarantees that one can break into tech with no prior sales or tech experience needed. Moreover, it guarantees 1:1 mentorship, specifically to improve my resume and practice mock job interviews. As of today, even after Graduation on March 3rd, these guarantees have not been delivered. I have been assigned to Aigerim Yerzhan as my mentor. In attempting to schedule a meeting with this mentor...

    Easy Learning Experience

    I enrolled in a QA Software engineer boot camp with Careerist and it has been a simple, good learning experience thus far. The one thing that can be better is the understanding of the material we need to do. Other than that, it has been great!
