    Just finished the QA

    Just finished the QA course and gotta say, it was way cooler than I expected. The instructors really knew their stuff and didn't make it feel like rocket science. Thumbs up for the practical stuff – helped me wrap my head around things!

    Quick and impactful

    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 wor...

    QA Manual

    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 a...

    I just finished the QA Manual Course and it was fantastic! The lessons were clear, the instructors were helpful, and I learned skills I can use right away. I feel more confident in manual testing now. Highly recommend!

    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...

    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 ass...

    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!

    Liked it

    I had the best time in the manual course! It was so worth it! At first, I was a bit unsure if I'd like it, but I was pleasantly surprised. They did an awesome job mixing theory and hands-on practice, which made learning really enjoyable.

    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!
