Excellent Bootcamp to transition into Tech!
I’m a former educator transitioning to tech. Careerist has been an excellent boot-camp experience for me. My neighbor told me about this company and got a high-paying job ($102k) after doing a course, so I knew it was legitimate! I did the ‘Manual QA’ course which included live online video lessons, quizzes and an in-depth homework task, followed by practical internship opportunities. Having finished the course, I feel really confident that I can do the job I was trained for because of t...I’m a former educator transitioning to tech. Careerist has been an excellent boot-camp experience for me. My neighbor told me about this company and got a high-paying job ($102k) after doing a course, so I knew it was legitimate! I did the ‘Manual QA’ course which included live online video lessons, quizzes and an in-depth homework task, followed by practical internship opportunities. Having finished the course, I feel really confident that I can do the job I was trained for because of the hands-on experience Careerist provided. The ongoing support provided by Careerist for their graduates to help them successfully interview & land a job is outstanding!!
The Positives:
· The expectations about the job market are clearly defined from the start· Job search process is explained in depth throughout the course· Lessons are well-structured, new-to-tech friendly and paced appropriately · Instructors welcome questions during class time via the chat· Instructors are very experienced in the industry and willing to share their knowledge· Learning portal allows you to watch video recordings of your lessons later (in case you missed it, or want to re-watch)· Lessons cover the most important aspects of the job, the most important industry tools to know, etc. · Internships opportunities are both internal (Careerist-led projects) and external (outside companies)· Student community is friendly, supportive and diverse· Careerist support responds quickly to questions/requests· Slack channels available for graduates enable continued peer-support, answers to job interview-related questions, etc.· Careerist utilizes the combined data of their graduates to provide up-to-date practice ‘Interview Q&A’ documents to help students prepare for job interviews· Interview preparation document includes many video links to extra lessons so you can continue learning and improving your skills· Mentors are friendly and provide one-on-one support for writing your resume/LinkedIn profile, practicing mock interviews & follow-up during your job search· Job Application assistance (special tool in Learning portal to help find jobs from several job boards & help streamline the application process)· Careerist graduates can attend ongoing weekly Zoom meetings with the CEO to hear success stories, ask their questions, give feedback, refresh interview tips, etc.
The Negatives:
· The internships allows you to practice the main skills required for the job, but hands-on experience with certain tools is not possible if you don’t have the hardware yourself since you’re learning from your home with what you have. (E.g. if you don’t have a Mac you can’t practice using Xcode hands-on. If you don’t have an Android, you can’t practice ADB/Android Studio, etc.) Note: this is not a problem with Careerist, just the reality of online learning! Careerist does provide video recordings of how these tools are used, however, so you can definitely learn how to do it – but just can’t practice “hands-on”). · You need to wait for your mentor to give you the go-ahead before starting the job search – after you pass the course, finish the internships, pass the mock interviews, have your resume/LinkedIn profile looking good, etc. This is a positive for people who like to follow rules/processes (like me), but could be a negative for people who want to do things their own way!

Most affordable course for Manual QA's
I was able to enroll in the Manual QA program during a special Black Friday sale. All of the teachers are experienced QA's who are friendly and pleasant. This course is the perfect bridge into the tech industry, especially for those without a technological background. No coding experience is required. Furthermore, the course includes an internship and externship. They teach you everything you need to know and the supplemental materials are extremely helpful. - Zan MaroltGraduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 29, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Careerist is great!
I enrolled to Careerist on June of 2022. I completed the course, internship and followed my mentor's guidance to land a job. It took me a little bit longer than what I had expected in the beginning. I came in thinking I would be employed in less than one month, it took me until March of 2023 to get hired. However I must admit that I was not applying to many jobs, in fact I'd go weeks without submitting a single application. However I'd still have recruiters reach out to me consistently a...I enrolled to Careerist on June of 2022. I completed the course, internship and followed my mentor's guidance to land a job. It took me a little bit longer than what I had expected in the beginning. I came in thinking I would be employed in less than one month, it took me until March of 2023 to get hired. However I must admit that I was not applying to many jobs, in fact I'd go weeks without submitting a single application. However I'd still have recruiters reach out to me consistently and I finally landed a contract gig at Apple (Did not expect this AT ALL). If you're thinking about joining Careerist, I definitely recommend it, however dont join if you think you'll get a job in 2 weeks, while it is possible, it is highly unlikely. Best of luck and don't give up. - Shariful HaqueGraduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The internship teaches almost everything you need to know about manual QA, they teach you how to use TestRail, JIRA and other tech methods required to test applications. Also they have a great in house build-in job search application which I personally find helpful because job search can be stressful and time consuming. There JAS application searches job for you and also makes it easier to fill out application with auto fill feature. Overall I would suggest this course to anyone who is new to the tech field and want to switch up careers. - Oxana BryantGraduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great course

Exited to find my new job ! - Tammy GarrettQA Engineer • Graduate • QA Manual bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great Investment
The Manual QA course by Careerist is a really great investment. I have enjoyed the courses very much and found them all highly accurate and informative.
