Graduated a year ago
I like how they assist you until you get hired. When I started this course I had 0 experience in IT field, and got job in 4 months of my job search, I am on my second job search, still getting same assistance as when I first started looking for a job. - KATE RYZHKOVASoftware engineer • Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineFeb 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Good Experience
The course is taught by professionals who have many years of experience and knowledge in the field of QA. It only required 2 hours of commitment 5 days a week (if I remember correctly) during the time I was taking the course. Additionally, everything was remote work. The instructors were very kind and informational. They'll answer your questions and concerns. When I signed up for the course I did the Manual QA bundle.

It only required 2 hours of commitment 5 days a week (if I remember correctly) during the time I was taking the course. Additionally, everything was remote work. The instructors were very kind and informational. They'll answer your questions and concerns. When I signed up for the course I did the Manual QA bundle. I didn't use the Job Application Service (JAS) 'cause I didn't need to. JAS is limited with how long they'll provide assistance so just heads up. What I loved the most about the bundle was gaining real work experience through an internship(s) and having a mentor upon completing your internship(s). I can't speak for others and their experience, but my mentor did a great job with providing me with assistance and guidance. It took me some time before getting hired, but it was due to the impact of the recession. Other than that, careerist prepared me well. Do keep in mind that at the end of the day, you must follow the advice of your instructors/mentor and be ready to put in the work. I found careerist to be resourceful and beneficial to my learning path. Others may disagree in regards to their circumstances, but everyone's experience is different at the end of the day. - Meghana PatelSoftware engineer • Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineFeb 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
It was a knowledgeable experience.
Pursuing the Manual QA course with Careerist was an amazing experience. The classes were very informative and easy to understand. The teachers were very proactive with the lessons and were knowledgeable. I landed my first job as a Manual QA a couple of months after the course ended. If you are someone who is looking to change careers and step foot into the field of IT, I would definitely recommend trying out this course with Careerist. - Loulou A.Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineFeb 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Experience!
I graduated and got a a job in 3 weeks in 2022 while the job market was super hot. The Manual QA course is very easy to follow and the instructors and mentors are very friendly and passionate about your success. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in Software Quality Insurance and IT and its worth the investment because the money you'll make will be much more than the cost of the course. - Ayaz B.Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineFeb 16, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A great way for new beginnings
I wanted to change my career and work in IT industry, so I took Manual QA course and completed all lessons and its' tasks.

The only thing which you have to do is to follow the instructions. Careerist has a direct strategy on how to become QA Tester.

Then I joined an internship to grow up my practical skills, we tested both web and mobile apps and used different test tools. I could understand how to use them on real projects and indeed it wasn't required to use the code which was just amazing. After finishing the internship I was assigned to my mentor. She helped me with job search preparation, we had enough mock interviews to feel confident. Also, my mentor helped me to create a relevant resume and an attractive LinkedIn profile for recruiters. Even after I got prepared my resume and LinkedIn, we have constant communication and I get help with my interviews. I can feel that Careerist supports me and encourages me to change my life. - Maksim TkachenkoSoftware QA Engineer • Applicant • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineFeb 14, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Easy-Going and a lot of Information
The course was not difficult only if you really wanted to get into to the field. The instructors are very helpful and explain things well. My mentor was very helping and was always on my side. I had good support from him. He kept me going and pulled me through.
The material was taught with detail which was really good. - Inga AQA Engineer • Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineFeb 14, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Careerist changed my life
It will be soon 1 year since I started working full time as quality assurance engineer after I completed the manual QA course and internship by Careerist. Moreover, 2 of my close friends were also able to land a QA job thanks to Careerist academic support and job interview guidance. To be honest I was really suspicious about this course at first glance since they claim to land you a 75k+ job with no experience required. However, now I can assure everyone who is still in a doubt - you can...It will be soon 1 year since I started working full time as quality assurance engineer after I completed the manual QA course and internship by Careerist.

To be honest I was really suspicious about this course at first glance since they claim to land you a 75k+ job with no experience required. However, now I can assure everyone who is still in a doubt - you can do it too. I think the main secret of Careerist's success is that they know what the market needs and how to teach these skills their students. Real-life internship also gave me the confidence and full understanding of what the job looks like and how to succeed in it. All you need to do is attend all classes (or watch recordings), do the homework follow the instructions to a t, and trust your mentor. - basira shahQA Automation Engineer • Student • QA Automation bootcamp • OnlineFeb 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
