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 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, 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!Farida of Careerist

Great bootcamp with minor issues
I had an awesome experience with Careerist. The teachers were great. My only issue would be with some of the curriculum, it could have more information with intricacies that will better develop students in the QA field. The best part of the bootcamp was my mentor Sofiia, she has gone above and beyond with me even though she has many other mentees. - Rigan P PatelSoftware QA Engineer • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 30, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Comprehensive and all inclusive preparation for Software Manual Tester role
In February I stumbled upon an online program, joined FREE webinar, and decided to immediately join it. The program was focused on the Manual tester role in Software industry. It was to the point. I loved how instructors covered only what is needed to learn in order to perform the job as well as to impress the interview. Each module was followed by quiz, our group on slack allowed us to answer questions regarding study, support team is fantastic, replied to our emails within ten minutes...In February I stumbled upon an online program, joined FREE webinar, and decided to immediately join it. The program was focused on the Manual tester role in Software industry. It was to the point. I loved how instructors covered only what is needed to learn in order to perform the job as well as to impress the interview. Each module was followed by quiz, our group on slack allowed us to answer questions regarding study, support team is fantastic, replied to our emails within ten minutes. After our study is over, we are assigned a mentor, who helped us prepare our resume, our linkedin profile and job interview Q&As. This level of personal attention is great value for the program! We are provided with two internships in order to gain real world experience of what QA is going to actually do at work. Much better investment than a four year college!

Good, structured study plan. Great team
The program is well structured and pretty straightforward for someone who has basic tech understanding. The classes are consistently challenging but on a chill pace so I never felt like I as falling behind, and had the opportunity to revisit lessons and materials to answer some questions that popped out during my own exploration of the technology we'll be using.

The classes are consistently challenging but on a chill pace so I never felt like I as falling behind, and had the opportunity to revisit lessons and materials to answer some questions that popped out during my own exploration of the technology we'll be using.
The instructors have real world experience in the field and not only did they answer questions related to the subjects they were teaching us about, but also shared their experiences getting into QA and working in different companies with al kinds of teams. The support team was on hand most of the time and helped us navigate the program. And after finishing the 7 weeks of lessons, the internal project and pre-internship team really helped us fully use all the terms, technology, tasks and standards we learned along the way. It helped me polish the knowledge I attained in the previous weeks and put it to use.
I'm about to start my internship next week, and in a few weeks I'll be out there looking for a job in a brand new (for me) career that was completely out of my sight just 4 months ago. From what I've been told, we will have someone mentoring us until we land a job, so I'm excited about that and about the road ahead. - M AlamSoftware QA Engineer • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
