    Careerist Manual QA course

    I did the Manual QA course with Careerist at the end of 2022 I found that all of the course materials were done well and easy to understand. I found that the instructors were very knowledgeable and knew how to simplify concepts so that anyone would understand them. following the course I felt that both the internship and mentor ship were very helpful.

    My perspective on tech was changed!

    I was introduced to the world of Tech Sales Engineering in this course and learned a lot about navigating this industry as a newbie.  I would say to attend the first few free courses to really gauge if this course is right for you. This is something they offer.
