    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...

    It was awesome. Great way for career change opportunity

    One of my friend recommended Careerist to me.  I took a Manual QA course with them. One of the best decision I made. I wish I had found this earlier. Careerist provides you with a good starting base knowledge to get into the software testing field. Instructors were very experienced, during the classes they always made sure all was well explained.  Mentor was very helpful throughout the whole process of the job search which I appreciate. I would definitely recommend Careerist to someone w...

    Impactful and Knowledgeable Course Material

    Careerist has been an eye opening experience for me. They have cultivated an environment for success in the tech industry. This bootcamp helped people like myself with no tech experience, gain confidence breaking into the industry. The mentor help from Nadia from Careerist has come with such high value. Her ability to take my past and current experience and shape them into what tech companies are looking for is truly remarkable. Nadia, along with the rest of the Careerist team, have open...

    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.

    Careerist Manual QA course

    I did the Manual QA course with Careerist at the end of 2022 I found that all of the course materials were done well and easy to understand. I found that the instructors were very knowledgeable and knew how to simplify concepts so that anyone would understand them. following the course I felt that both the internship and mentor ship were very helpful.

    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...

    Informative and easy course

    I've decided to switch careers from the restaurant industry to the tech field. I feel like this course is very informative as well as simple and easy to understand for someone who doesn't understand IT. After the classes are finished they put you through and internship program where you get hands-on experience with a team. 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 application...

    Excellent Prep and Training

    Careerist was a game changer for me!  I made the decision that I wanted to change careers after 20 years into IT from healthcare administration.  After doing some research, I came upon Careerist and enrolled in their QA Engineer program.  I completed the course and internship and then began working with my mentor on my resume and interview prep.  The interview prep was top notch as it truly prepared me for the interview process.  I landed my first job in IT within 3 months making over 90...

    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. The instructors were consistent with one another and each class lead smoothly to the next for a cohesive experience.
