    Great Bootcamp very well taught

    All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the materials in a way that a beginner can understand.  They also took the time to explain any questions multiple times if necessary.  The coursework was great and laid out in a way that is not overwhelming to a beginner like myself.  The internal internship was really good it helps build your confidence in your new skill sets.  My Lead Helen was absolutely amazing.  She explained everything in detail and gave goo...

    Thanks for all

    I saw people here talking about how difficult it is to change spheres and begin studying something new, but very few mentioned that paying for the courses can also be a problem for some people. Thanks to the payment splitting option that Careerist has I was actually able to afford a course! That’s awesome, especially if you take into account that I managed to get a job in the end. Thanks a lot!

    No Jobs available!

    I did manual QA with Careerist, you learned a lot within a short time, and the internal project was a good experience. However, the QA lead of the external project wasn’t good with communication and could not elaborate on the tasks properly, but overall it was ok. The downside of the program is, Careerist is not honest with the Job market. It is challenging and almost impossible to find Jobs based on only manual QA experience; employers want people with QA Automation experience. I would ...

    I’ve graduated from the manual QA course by Careerist which is my first experience in tech sphere.

    I had no technical background before and I expected that it would be quite difficult for me to understand everything. But in fact it turned out to be a really well-structured course with detailed information presented in a comprehensible form. But the best thing for me is that mentors do really help not to give up - they don’t only explain complex issues but also motivate and support. Now it’s 2.5 months after the course, my mentor still keeps in touch with me and I finally have my first...

    Useful course! Interesting and effective

    Changing your life and starting over from scratch is always difficult, and if you are willing to try your hand at the IT sector you have to be highly motivated... What I want to say is that Careerist is not just a bunch of qualification courses. Careerist courses have 2 very important points that I can relate to. First – the tutors, the group, and the atmosphere itself keeps you on your toes and motivated. And second – you get hands-on experience through internships and a lot of help wit...

    Careerist was awesome

    I recently completed the Manual quality assurance course with Careerist. From inception to completion, I had a good experience. The course is well structured and organized.  All the tutors were very professional and knowledgeable.  They were all very patient and took their time to explain in detail all the information being taught and provided clarity when needed. 
    All sessions were recorded, so lessons can be reviewed limitless times for better understanding if needed. Live chat serv...

    Great experience at Careerist!

    I had a great experience learning Manual QA skills at Careerist! The instructors were very clear on the explanation of the content that was taught and the lessons were easy to understand. My first internship was also a great experience led by my team leader Daria Harashchenko! She was very helpful by directing on how to do the tasks on our daily meetings and also with a summary after every meeting that was also helpful to deliver the assignments with no difficulties.

    Sales Engineering Course

    This bootcamp was an interesting experience. The instructors are very insightful and experienced. They provided so much information! It was definitely hard for me initially to keep up with all the lessons. The job mentor assistance could be better, because i feel like its lacking quality for those who want to get a job immediately, even though they give you some good resources to start with.

    Careerist experience

    This is an overpriced program with generic information you can access online for free. The mentor I had was very inexperienced and I felt cheated because the company advertised their mentorship program as one with experienced mentors. The resume writing assistance along with JAS application software they speak about are just selling points. In reality, it’s mostly DIY, where the resume writer gives you feedback and you input her suggestions yourself. The mentorship program is very shady,...
