You can solve this problem by changing the quality of the videos to 720 HD. The default settings are that when the internet is good the video works with high quality and when you have a poor connection, the quality goes down.- Maria M.Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMay 16, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
good place to make your tech career
It has a lot information. I've worked as a blackbox mobile tester and I still found things that I wasn't aware of, which is great.
In general a great place to start your journey as a Software QA, but you will need to add some extra sources/videos to be really prepared.Max Glubochansky of Careerist

Too much is left for the students to figure out by themselves. More examples and quizes are needed and a slower pace that takes time for introduction and better, more simple and hands-on explanations. Instructors are usually experts in their field so they should use their expertise in providing every day examples and brining matters that really matter to the center. The course is built around preparing the students to pass the interview in addition to other useful stuff taught in the course like the tools. Rating might go up if more content will be added as suggested. For very good courses I would mention Careerist courses as an example.Max Glubochansky of Careerist

I attended this class and paid upfront for Manual QA and Automation QA and graduated from Manual QA back in October of 2020. The curriculum was pretty decent and instructors were as well. I did not get my return of investment in this class as companies want you to have over the top of knowledge from SQL, to JSON and React and this class didn't necessarily teach hands-on in all this extra material that companies demand.

I did not get my return of investment in this class as companies want you to have over the top of knowledge from SQL, to JSON and React and this class didn't necessarily teach hands-on in all this extra material that companies demand. I did try and take the Automation QA class as I was persuaded to take it by a Careerist counselor but with taking the class, I did not understand it and couldn't have a 1 on 1 mentor to help me through the process of understanding it so I dropped the class after a couple of weeks of taking it. I have called and emailed for a partial refund but still haven't heard back regarding my request of a partial refund and so wouldn't recommend pursuing this class since they don't offer 1 on 1 mentorship which I thought they would/did prior to signing up and also they don't have companies affiliated with them either to give that extra help in getting a job. - Christian CastenadaQuality Assurance Engineer • Graduate • QA Automation+Python bootcamp • OnlineMay 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Good course
The course is a good intro to Manual testing and testing software in general, but there are many other advanced aspects of testing not covered. If you need automated testing skills this is too basic for you and you should look for a more advanced course. Great for beginners, too basic for some.Anna of Careerist

Great platform if you are looking for a new job.
Great platform if you are looking for a new job. I took the Manual QA course (class of July 2020) and the instructors and mentors were really supportive and patient. Normally I find remote learning a bit challenging, but it worked really well because of how practical and rich the program was. I feel ready to start my career in QA and considering taking the advance course (QA Automation) in the future, when I feel ready to learn some code.

I think if you are looking for practical training that is centered around the job market, their programs are the best. But if you are looking for pure education and academic theory, maybe Coursera is good enough.Anna of Careerist
