I felt like the lessons could have taught more. There was a solid amount of information, but manual QA has so many avenues that their current curriculum isn't enough. The instructors did a good job with their lesson plan. I feel like the mentors do the most. They're very helpful with the entire process.- AnonymousQuality Assurance Specialist • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 16, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

In my case, I was studying while I was working, so combining a bootcamp with my job was extremely easy. The staff are friendly and provide excellent knowledge along with support, and after you finish the internship, you'll have your own mentor who will guide you throughout the whole process until you find a job. Whether you have any doubts or questions, Careerist's staff will handle everything in a professional manner. Lastly and most importantly: I got hired! - AnonymousQA • Student • QA Automation+Python bootcamp • OnlineApr 14, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great experience
I started Careerist to have a refresher in Software Manual Testing, but my main goal was Automation testing.
So far, my experience has been good. The instructors are knowledgeable and they make incredible efforts of answering all students questions and some even code on the fly, while still covering the material.
I've already complete a internship with them (on the Manual part of the course), and now I'm starting another one, on the automated side.
I'm keeping my fingers cross...I started Careerist to have a refresher in Software Manual Testing, but my main goal was Automation testing.

Nice and Flexible
I have been to other boot camps and they were either too fast pace or too slow. I appreciate the flexibility that was given to us as I didn't have to drop everything to attend the classes and I could go at my own pace.
The instructors are very nice and will answer your questions and they genuinely feel like they want to help you learn. - AnonymousStudent • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 05, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Manual QA
Manual QA course was very good instructors were very good as well. Internship was very helpful being able to apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout course. Although mentors are helpful with answering questions and giving direction it's been very difficult finding work almost one year later. - AnonymousGraduate • QA Automation+Python bootcamp • OnlineApr 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great Bootcamp
Careerist had a strong curriculum and knowledgeable instructors. This was essential for my successful learning experience, and this is especially true for a sales engineering bootcamp. A well-designed curriculum, coupled with experienced instructors who are passionate about the field, can make all the difference in helping students to achieve their goals and succeed in the competitive world of sales engineering. - AnonymousGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Thank you Careerist!
Awesome experience with Careerist. Before I found careerist it was difficult for me to juggle family life and a career in the healthcare field. Careerist was God sent. Thank you to the team, the program was detailed and will equip you with all the necessary skills to land your first tech job. But you need to be ready to be coachable and willing to dedicate some time to learn and put in the work for the skills you are equipped with on the Bootcamp. - AnonymousGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 21, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Very nice course, support and instructors are very professional and knowledgeable, especially it was great to work with Hanna. Tue course is structured in a logical way and the information was presented clearly and then repeated when students didn't understand something. - AnonymousManual QA Engineer • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
