An impressive and useful QA course
I completed the manual testing program and was very satisfied. Careerist has a convenient platform for classes, and managers promptly answered any questions I had. Overall, I had few questions about the program because it is structured in a way that everything becomes clear during the lecture. There are also free additional lessons if you want to delve deeper into a particular topic. I also like that there are tests and summaries available for use.Farida of Careerist

Excellent Learning Experience for QA Engineers
As someone who came from learning to code prior, I found Careerist advertised to me as I was curious about QA in software engineering. I'm honestly glad I chose Careerist and this course as I realized that this is what I want to do for work and I loved learning about how QA works and kind of the behind the scenes of how apps and programs get released and created.

I'm honestly glad I chose Careerist and this course as I realized that this is what I want to do for work and I loved learning about how QA works and kind of the behind the scenes of how apps and programs get released and created. There is so much that goes into QA engineering and I really enjoyed learning from the instructors and getting the help when I needed it. Having the classes scheduled each week was best for my learning style and helped with accountability to keep studying and getting homework done. If you are interested in coding and learning about software QA, I would recommend this course. You even get help with LinkedIn, resume prep, and interview prep as well.Farida of Careerist

I enjoyed connecting with my classmates outside of class the most. Whether we were practicing our final demo’s with each other, answering each others questions, or just chopping it up. I also enjoyed the classes and my instructor’s. They taught me a lot of valuable information that I will carry with me throughout my Tech Career.Farida of Careerist

Careerist is a comprehensive boot camp that introduces you to the many avenues of technology. I learned the terminology, and application processes and, most importantly had the opportunity to run a demo. I loved my experience in the learning phase but know it's not over yet! I am excited to see what happens during the internship phase but so far the support from your cohort and mentors is superb. I'd definitely recommend 10/10!Farida of 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 out ready for a fresh job search in your new industry in 3 months flat.
- Accessible with zero technical background. If you can handle your PC and mobile phone comfortably, you can learn the material and perform the functions of the work by course end. No bull.
- Cost was fair, given the nature of the services offered for your career pivot. It's cheaper if you pay up front but they got me hooked up with financing under my good to fair credit through a third party. This actually made the program attainable for me to complete with for the cost of one nice dinner a month as a start. (And isn't getting started always the hardest part of a major life change?)
- Value is excellent. Career counseling resume and linkedin optimization services included in your program alone is worth the price of admission.
- It was manageable to not only "keep up" but be on time and comfortably paced around a full time job and a family life. This was my biggest concern about full time college or a night school program in general, if I would run myself to death trying to spin all the plates without dropping any.
- The instructors were varied, pros in their field and all offered a unique and valuable perspective into our new field based on their actual experiences. While all of them were excellent guides, I worked the most closely with the instructor for my group's internal internship; Viktoriia Simak. I found her teaching style to be perfect for this type of material where the requirements for each assignment were clearly laid out, and she would communicate revisions needed to bring your work up to professional levels, and where you could improve to make it even better. Where I was unsure if I could master the nuances of the typical industry practices to be at a fully professional level by course end, Viktoriia not only made sure I was, she gave me the confidence that I was too.
Can you teach yourself tech skills online? Yes. But the careerist program will answer your questions, get you hands on experience, give you confidence in your competence, and help open those doors to actually land the job.
