    Manual QA

    Great course! If you're looking for a career change and interested in going into the Tech field without a technical degree or prior tech experience then this opportunity is for you. If you are looking for a quick fix, walk away now. This is a great opportunity if you are willing to put in the work, the courses are well done, and the instructors a great and willing to help! I learned all I needed to get into this field, and their mentors know what they are walking about, so just do as the...

    A bit scammy

    I started the carrerist program late September of 2022 and they promised a mentor and to help you find a job after. They also state they will teach you how to become a sales engineer within the program. Everything they teach can be googled. The mentors are not mentors at all like never been in tech never been sales engineers and barely speak English. The falsely advertise they DO NOT DO NOT help you find jobs at all they used a system called “Jaz” that is inconvenient does not help you a...

    Careerist workers are disorganized thieves

    I got involved with the careerist course in 2022 after some major personal struggles and I was so excited at the idea of changing my career. I was so excited that this course was going to help me not just get the knowledge but get the job too. I was so sure that they were going to help me turn my life around with the job search assistance program and I was so sorely disappointed. The reality I found was that 1) Careerist charged me 4000 dollars for stuff I later found online is the same ...

    I Don’t Recommend Careerist Bootcamp

    I learned of the bootcamp on Instagram from Cyrus Harbin. The actual bootcamp did not meet any of my expectations. The course is fast-paced with no structure. The instructors read from slides every night and they don’t prepare you for the demo and job interview that you must pass to graduate. Nigel (one of the better instructors) left. The company seems to be focusing on money more than helping students land SE jobs because the Job Application Tracking system barely works and is not free...

    QA manual

    I signed ISA with  Careerist former Job Easy, hoping they would teach well and provide support in job search. On their web site it was saying they provide 1:1 support, which is not true. They have mentors, who tells you how to apply. But the actual questions that are asked during the interviews are not answered 1:1. I got a job but not because of them , because I had sessions with a private tutor not from Careerist. They have a chat and if you have questions you have to post it in the ch...

    QA manual Course

    This boot camp is a complete waste of time and money.  Mentors know nothing about the real job roles. They might teach you a max 5% of what you actually do at work. But they surely can provide you with fake experience on your resume.

    Scam program

    I signed up for the QA course but they could only show me "credentials" in Russian although they claim to be an American company. Very predatory Isa. Would not recommend.
