Nina SigalovaQA Analyst • Graduate • Manual And Automation QA Bundle bootcamp • OnlineNov 12, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceGreat school, highly recommended!
I enrolled in Careerist School on a friend's recommendation.
She had recently completed their Manual Tester course, landed a job, and then decided to upskill with their Automation Tester course, which also led to quick employment.
I've never regretted joining this school. I even brought my husband to their Systems Engineer course.

I've never regretted joining this school. I even brought my husband to their Systems Engineer course.
The school is truly a game-changer if you're looking to switch careers and find your place in IT, or if you're an IT professional who's relocated and needs to adapt to American standards.
The classes are engaging, with a great balance of theory and practice. The instructors and organizers are incredibly supportive.
I received invaluable advice and help with motivation, resume building, and job search strategies.
In my case, the job search took a bit longer due to personal circumstances, but both my husband and I have already received numerous interview invitations.
Meanwhile, we're continuing with additional courses, and the school is assisting with securing a free internship, which is a great addition to our resumes.
You also have constant access to the latest questions from employers, which is perfect for interview prep.
Best of all, the tuition is much more affordable than other schools, and the quality and guarantees are far superior.
The personalized approach and positive atmosphere are amazing. Huge thanks to the organizers and instructors!
I'm confident that we're destined for success and can't wait to share our final results with everyone.
I also appreciated that even if English isn't your first language, all the lessons are accessible and easy to understand. This is a huge plus.

Best course to get into tech. Graduated in 2021 and successfully found a job in QA, but still get help from my mentor whenever I need! The best part was the real-world applications; I was able to implement what I learned immediately, which has already made a positive impact on my skills. Plus, the support from both the instructor and the course community made it feel collaborative and interactive, even online. - Gilbert Seraphin KondQA Analyst • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineOct 25, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Hand-on experience and wonderful instructors
I enrolled in the Careerist Manual QA course out of curiosity, not even aware that QA software testing existed :-).

The materials are well-organized and easy to follow, and the time is flexible; you can access it later if you missed the online class. If you have any questions, rest assured that you will receive answers.

To be honest, I doubt that you can secure a job solely with the content and materials provided by Careerist. It requires additional research, time investment, and effort to enhance your chances.
