    QA Manual Course

    I recently completed the QA Manual Course, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. This course not only equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of manual testing but also transformed my approach to quality assurance.

    Very Informative and Helpful

    I've had a great experience with the learning part of the UX Design course. I've had previous experience with learning UX Design but this was way more in depth when it comes to setting up each project and also even a portfolio for presenting the project as well. I've just started my internship phase of the classes and it is going great so far and I can't wait to see what is in store for me in the future of my UX/UI Design career.

    Great course

    Fantastic class and great opportunity. I have been to multiple data analytics courses and this is the best by far. Glad to be here and looking forward to my future in the field. I have studied under the Google certificate, IBM certification, and a few less know programs prior. None for these others cultivate the team work amongst peers, has the teaching skills and methods like careerist, or offer the 1:1 mentorship that is critical for success in this field

    Perfect for people who can’t study full time

    I wanted a course that offered pre-recorded lectures and interactive classes at the same time. I chose Careerist because the schedule was optimal and they allowed me to split my payments more conveniently than other platforms. A SMALL DISCLAIMER: it’s impossible to spend just half an hour per week studying. You need to concentrate, analyze and memorize A LOT on your own. BUT the Careerist teachers are very supportive and they will answer all your questions and send you feedback.

    Good entry point into tech

    Careerist teachers know how to deal with students who can’t write a single line of code. They dole out the information in small doses. When they share a fact they always explain why it’s like that and how you can deal with it. I appreciate it! Besides, they talk a lot about the ins and outs of recruiting in the tech industry. I feel like I’m ready for my first job interview, but let me graduate first.

    My mentor convinced me I’m not hopeless


    I wanted to break into data analytics… In the 2nd month of the course I felt like it might not be for me. I was among the worst-performing students and I even thought about giving up. But first I asked the teachers for help and they held several extra consultations with me so I could catch up with the others. Later I felt inspired and motivated again, and my performance improved too. I’m really grateful for such support!

    Possible to learn

    It is broken down so you are able to learn and apply what you have learned. If you stick with it you’ll understand it. Didn’t really like how it was always different instructors some were better at teaching than others. The internship helped to learn alot because it’s hands on it can be overwhelming sometimes but it’s doable. Overall I liked it no complaints

    Don’t skip classes and the rest will be fine

    The biggest mistake I made was skipping online classes. 😬 I had no tech experience and I took the QA bundle. I struggled to catch up with the rest of the group. When I put more effort into my studies I began to perform much better. The teachers were super helpful. They explained both the tech part and the career part in detail. They were always patient and positive. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to study diligently.

    Currently looking for a job

    I had my ups and downs during my studies. Some things weren’t easy to understand. Sometimes I didn’t have enough time because I also work full-time. I wish the teachers and career coaches could spend more time with me... Anyway, I’m happy that I graduated and learned so much useful info! For now I’ve had only one job interview and they didn’t hire me. I’m staying optimistic and keeping on searching!

    Positive impressions only

    I’ve been studying systems engineering for 2 months and my perception of this occupation has changed considerably… It turned out to be more difficult and exciting than I imagined. They say that generally people study 6-8 hours per week on this course, but for me it takes around 10 hours because I want to memorize every single detail and I practice a lot on my own. Hopefully I will keep enjoying it until graduation.

    I wish I had joined Careerist earlier

    I began to think about online tech courses two years ago. First I lacked money and then I wasn’t sure which course to choose. Now I’m about to complete the Systems Engineering course at Careerist. I haven’t found a job yet but I’ve talked to graduates who are employed and they inspire me. Career coaching is so comprehensive so I’m not too worried about the job search.
