Angela GilbertGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineSep 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceCareer coaching was the best part
I haven't worked for the last 10 years because I have small kids and I had no technical background, so I was quite nervous at the beginning of the course. Surprisingly the tech part of the studies was the easiest for me. I enjoyed doing the tasks and receiving feedback! The instructors said I was a quick learner, :) but I felt a bit insecure because I didn't know how to deal with employers. My career coach helped me a lot, she was absolutely brilliant!

Expensive but rewarding
The only thing I don’t like about careerist is the price! However, other providers charge just as much or even more... I borrowed funds to buy a course and I felt nervous because I wasn’t sure if this investment would pay off. But it seems it will! I spent 7 weeks after graduation looking for jobs. I had no results but then two companies invited me for an interview at the same time. Now I’m waiting for responses.

Up-to-date and informative
I’ve recently finished the course and now I can share my experience. In general it was great. I appreciated the well-structured curriculum and large amount of applied and up-to-date information. No boring, outdated theory, only practical advice and real cases. I can't say anything about employment yet but I really liked the content of the course. - Chrishawn Douglas-OwensGraduate • Sales Engineering bootcamp • OnlineSep 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
New, interesting, helpful
Ive enjoyed my time spent studying and learning with Careerist. These mentors have real life experience and valuable insight that can’t be overlooked. I genuinely feel they want to see everyone succeed and will make sure you’re understanding in order to be successful. Come to Careerist with the mindset to put work into improving yourself while acquiring some skills on top of it. - Dylan RobinsonGraduate • Manual And Automation QA Bundle bootcamp • OnlineSep 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I just got a job!
Yesterday I signed a contract! A small tech company hired me!!! I spent 4 months looking for a job. I managed to find a job using the Job Application Service by Careerist. I completed a test task and passed an interview. I’m so happy! - Sherry SmithGraduate • UX/UI Design bootcamp • OnlineSep 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
It was quite a challenge but I made it
I studied UX/UI design at Careerist. Ufff, that was tough! I had to completely change my approach to design. I thought it would be more about creativity, but it was about profit first of all. Careerist taught me how to design not for self-expression but for business. These guys are so pragmatic and I trust them. - Henry WardGraduate • QA Automation+Python bootcamp • OnlineSep 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Got my first paycheck yesterday!
My employer offered me a test period of 2 months. I did the first one well and I got my first paycheck. The boss says that I have good testing skills and I got them at Careerist! It took me about 3 months or so to get employed. In the first month I sent out quite few job applications. Starting with the second month I began to do it every day and eventually got a job. Careerist tutors taught me how to apply properly. Thanks!!! - Mary CooperGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineSep 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Got a job thanks to Careerist
I learned manual QA just for fun. I collected a portfolio and began to apply for jobs but no one wanted me! I asked the employers for feedback but nobody replied. ☹️ So then I enrolled for the course. At careerist, they explained what I did wrong. I finally got a job two weeks before graduation. I think I was the first person in my group who got hired!! - George CoxStudent • UX/UI Design bootcamp • OnlineSep 14, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
I’m just getting started
I’m studying ux/ui design and I’m enjoying it!! I already know how to use figma and slack. The biggest revelation for me was maze - it helps you research your audience and make data-driven decisions. The instructors teach us how to handle practical tasks and give just the necessary minimum of theory. We have instructors from meta, airbnb and google! And later we’ll have an internship and make a portfolio! - Ethan GriffinGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineSep 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Got one job offer and still looking
I completed the manual QA course. I graduated three weeks ago and now I’m actively looking for a job. I use jas, linkedin and job boards. I had two interviews (one from jas and the other from linkedin) and one job offer. A startup almost hired me but they wanted me to work remotely and I don’t feel 100% confident for that yet… I want a hybrid job so that I can watch how more experienced testers work. So I had to decline their offer. Some might say I’m reckless but I’m not in a hurry and ...I completed the manual QA course. I graduated three weeks ago and now I’m actively looking for a job.

Hope to find a good job after graduation
I’m halfway through the sales engineering course. I’m combining it with a part-time job and tbh I thought it would be more difficult! Actually it’s not that hard. I really like the teachers and how they deliver the information. I can’t wait to try the Job Application Service! So far, it seems to me this course is worth the money I paid. - Thomas CrossmanGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineAug 31, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I’m 42 y.o. and I had only one non-tech job in my life.
I joined the manual QA course to start a new life. Recently I’ve completed it. I found the course structure well-paced and the content comprehensive. The instructors' clear expertise and real-world examples truly helped me grasp the concepts. While a tad challenging at times, the course has significantly boosted my confidence in QA testing. It's never too late to learn, and this course proves that.
