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 good feedback both positive and negative but always in a way to build you up. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to get into the tech field.- Andreev DemyanGraduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineJul 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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! - PerpetualGraduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineJul 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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.

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 have appreciated it if they were honest about this and gladly paid for the manual QA + Automation combo, knowing there would be a job for me when I finish the course. Careerist prefers when you do the manual QA first and then advise you and expect you to pay for the automation course(extra $4000) if you don’t get a job; that’s manipulation. It’s not a bad program/investment if jobs are available, but there aren’t; I’ve been looking for one for the past three months! So how can I pay a $4200 loan without a job? They also assured me of a money-back guarantee, but I doubt they will give me back my money if I don’t get a job; just another lie/scam. - ClaudiaGraduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineJul 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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...I had no technical background before and I expected that it would be quite difficult for me to understand everything.

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 with your resume, Linkedin, and other profiles, so at the end of the day the course is made in such a way that you actually get a job in the sphere instead of just finishing another useless course. - Leneicia PManual QA • Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineJun 16, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

All sessions were recorded, so lessons can be reviewed limitless times for better understanding if needed. Live chat service was also very efficient ( Even at night) whenever I had any queries. Internship stage also went very well, my team leads were awesome!

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. - Henry OkohGraduate • Sales Engineering bootcamp • OnlineMay 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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. - E ASoftware QA Engineering • Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineMay 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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 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, my understanding was that it would be with a real company but instead it’s what they call a “simulator internship,” where they repeat the same process that was carried out during regular classes. I would not recommend this course to anyone, keep your money!
