Wealth of Knowledge!
I learned a lot during my course with Careerist. I learned everything I need to know to land a Manual QA job. They provided a lot of great resources and linked me with a phenomenal mentor. Hanna Olefirenko was very supportive and made sure I knew how to present myself during interviews. She provided me a lot of great practice during the mock interview and great feedback. I feel well prepared for a career in tech! - Tangela MStudent • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

QA BOOTCAMP experience
I have finished the course work, and internships. Staff are pleasant, helpful, and don’t make you feel like your dumb. I love the the class is recorded so that you can always go back to it. I hate that my class was so big though it was over 100 ppl. The internship was ok. I wish I had more problem solving situations but I did learn a lot and meant great people. I am now at the mentor stage and soon onto my new job. - Janaya HaynesGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Well-planned and good foundation
When I first heard about Careerist, I knew this was the career path for me. Not being current on tech, I had my husband, who teaches Computer Science at a college level, review the Careerist website. He told me that it would be a good opportunity and experience.
After signing up, I found that being able to watch the lessons on your own schedule & pace was so helpful, not to mention being able to go back and rewatch them to fill in any blanks.

Not being current on tech, I had my husband, who teaches Computer Science at a college level, review the Careerist website. He told me that it would be a good opportunity and experience.
After signing up, I found that being able to watch the lessons on your own schedule & pace was so helpful, not to mention being able to go back and rewatch them to fill in any blanks. This has been an easy course that is completed within a short amount of time, which fits my needs very well. Once the training has been completed, you jump right in to the internship, one internal, one external. The hands-on experience with real companies and daily stand-up meetings has been practical experience that boosted my confidence greatly in my ability to be successful in a job from the start. I received great instruction and feedback from the Leads on test cases and bug reports, which helped me improve the quality of my work quickly.
It would help if the instructors would read the questions from the chat messages very clearly. You can only get the gist of what the question is and fully understanding the answer if they do that, as you can't see the chat in the lesson replays. It would have been good to get hands-on experience with other aspects of manual QA like API and ChromeDev Tools.
I am very much looking forward to working with my mentor and the job preparation and search process in a week or so. - Georgia WrayGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent Program!!
This Manual QA program was well organized and you will graduate feeling well prepared for role as a QA analyst. I would highly recommend! The instructors are knowledgeable and extremely helpful and focus on your success. - Stephen SmithStudent • Sales Engineering bootcamp • OnlineMar 26, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Very Informative
I am currently a student at Careerist and at first I did not know what to expect from a program that is tailored specifically for the Sales Engineer role. But as I move through the course I find myself more motivated and confident in my ability to fill this role in tech. The information that is being given is priceless, from real industry professionals with 20 plus years in the industry. They are giving you real life tidbits you can use to stand out in the application/interview process. ...I am currently a student at Careerist and at first I did not know what to expect from a program that is tailored specifically for the Sales Engineer role.

Being able to interact and ask questions to the instructors as well as your 1:1 mentor assures that you receive the help and answers you need.
