The best decision I made!
For me, Careerist was truly Godsent. As a mother of young kids, I was looking at transitioning from relationship management to software QA, mainly because I wanted to work remotely and I do have an eye for detail. As I was browsing online, I came across Careerist and they had exceptionally good reviews, so I decided to enroll in the manual QA course. I loved that the course was so flexible with timings, all the instructors were fantastic and I especially learnt a lot from Lana. The cours...For me, Careerist was truly Godsent.

I loved that the course was so flexible with timings, all the instructors were fantastic and I especially learnt a lot from Lana. The course content is very good, the internship gave me experience and access to tools in a real work environment; and my mentor helped with my resume and interview prep. Careerist is very supportive of all their students and graduates, even after they land a job; the support team is extremely helpful with any questions asked. I was able to land a job 2 1/2 months after graduating from Careerist. And I will say my company is extremely happy with the skills I bring and the detailed reports I am able to deliver all thanks to the training I had at Careerist. If you want to move into the IT industry and have the attitude to work smart and succeed, Careerist will help deliver that success to you. - Jermaine M JoinerJr. Quality Assurance Engineer • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineFeb 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Experience!
In 2020 I happened to become furloughed from my sales job. At that point, I knew I wanted to have more security in my career. I happened to find a listing on social media, the day I made this decision. After speaking with someone regarding my interest in the Manual QA program, seeing as I had no coding experience at the time. I thought it would be a great opportunity. I was right! Not only did the self-paced lessons allow me to work at my own pace, but the instructors and assistants were...In 2020 I happened to become furloughed from my sales job. At that point, I knew I wanted to have more security in my career. I happened to find a listing on social media, the day I made this decision. After speaking with someone regarding my interest in the Manual QA program, seeing as I had no coding experience at the time. I thought it would be a great opportunity. I was right! Not only did the self-paced lessons allow me to work at my own pace, but the instructors and assistants were able to answer questions I had regarding the material. I attended both the Manual and Automation boot camps. I would recommend having some coding logic under your belt, prior to taking the Automation course as the instruction can get away from you if you lack that experience...(like me). The job placement prep was spot on and my personal Coordinator was very thorough in reviewing the material. - Ayoola LadapoGraduate • QA Automation+Python bootcamp • OnlineFeb 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Highly Recommended Bootcamp for Manual/ Automation QA (SDET)
I did some courses in Software QA Automation with Careerist and men, I have been inviting and directing my friends (who are still wondering about my great turn-around) to Careerist as I write. Few things you must be aware of, as you register with them: 1. Be sincerely ready for a Bootcamp not to be pampered. 2. Don't make yourself an 'Accent hunter'. Instructors might have accents that's not American (this is not news, we have that all over high schools and colleges), but are super-duper...I did some courses in Software QA Automation with Careerist and men, I have been inviting and directing my friends (who are still wondering about my great turn-around) to Careerist as I write. Few things you must be aware of, as you register with them: 1. Be sincerely ready for a Bootcamp not to be pampered. 2. Don't make yourself an 'Accent hunter'. Instructors might have accents that's not American (this is not news, we have that all over high schools and colleges), but are super-duper talented, very very knowledgeable and industrially experienced. 3. They're NOT job givers (they never said that), but they'll assist you in your job search journey all the way- helping with Resume prep, Interview prep. etc. 4. Even after you graduate, they still maintain a resource base with you. 5. Have a good plan for yourself to moving into the IT world and don't expect anyone to parcel you and throw you in there. No one can do that! You can not for example be transiting form being a Music graduate to the IT world and not put in some extra effort to understanding what you're moving into.
Careerist as a Bootcamp is a great place to invest your time and money. I cannot emphasize the benefits enough in this forum. I got 2 SDET jobs almost two month after graduating with them. And being in the practicality of the job now, I can confidently announce to anyone that care to listen that, their Course Curriculum and Interview questions are next to none. I highly recommend them to anyone desiring to be a Manual or Automation QA. - Sangeetha KarthikeyanGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineFeb 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Highly Recommend this school
Their QA Manual is a joke. You can not get a job with that. There are more automation jobs in the market, and they just don't teach enough to get you a job.I am disappointed and wish I had tried automation but not here for sureFarida of Careerist

QA manual/automation
Hi
I've finished both courses about a year ago. Found a job shortly after completing the course. Of course I started with a manual course, 2 month later a found a great position at Intel
Then I decided that I want to grow as a specialist and completed automation course.
I am very grateful to this school for all the effort they put into students.

Excellent instructors who are attentive to students 24/7
Excellent instructors who are attentive to students 24/7. They will stay with you after class until you understand the material front to back. If you want a rigorous introduction to the world of QA, Careerist is the place to start. Put in the time, participate in class, and complete their assignments without looking for shortcuts. I stuck to that routine and secured a job within two weeks after the program ended.Max Glubochansky of Careerist

Income Share Agreement Trap
Don't do it! The tech sales course charges $1000 and presents talented and high-status businessmen as teachers to draw in students and give us a course with content as rudimentary as one can get from any Sales 101 Youtube series, promises closely guided career search counseling, but in practice, hires mentors that recommend lying about the student's work experience, offer only a resume template and added buzzwords and who also need to be reminded multiple times over weeks to turn on Job ...Don't do it! The tech sales course charges $1000 and presents talented and high-status businessmen as teachers to draw in students and give us a course with content as rudimentary as one can get from any Sales 101 Youtube series, promises closely guided career search counseling, but in practice, hires mentors that recommend lying about the student's work experience, offer only a resume template and added buzzwords and who also need to be reminded multiple times over weeks to turn on Job Application Services that only results in work opportunities from jobs totally unrelated from Tech Sales, like 100% commission pay structure insurance or door to door salesmen jobs. In the end, the student goes out, applies on their own and interviews daily for over a month, with sometimes multiple interviews per day yet no communication from the mentor, until the student lands a job on their own, and then is contractually obligated to pay up to $25,000 over the next 24 in-consecutive months of labor.

Dear Mr. Carvalho, Sam. You are around a 50th in a row who is saying exactly what you have said here but in different media. Well, not word in word (like a resume template you mention above:) ), but the contents are generally the same: very poor level of aducation, fake resume and somehow a student lands a job on his own. Right into that fiels where he almost received a zero knowledge from Careerist, he/she finds a high paying job in tech. As soon as he/she starts get paid this high wages, he starts to invent how to escape his payouts under the ISA. So, the outcome from these stories is that you came to Careerist with no money and used the advantage of ISA, then got almost no education, tailored a fake resume as mentor requested, cheated the employer and got a job, think of cheating Careerist and not pay a penny because it does not cost it. Bingo! - Shelia RhodesGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMay 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Course on best practices
Overall I was pleased with the Manual QA course that I attended, which was held for seven weeks. Although I was already familiar with many of the topics, it was good to receive a refresher course on best practices. I do wish that there was more explanation of intermediate tactics in software testing. The course was worth the money.Max Glubochansky of Careerist
