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.- Henry MartinGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineSep 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
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! - Nikitin ZakharStudent • Software QA Engineering • OnlineSep 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
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. - Ronnie WallaceGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineSep 26, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
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. - Angela GilbertGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineSep 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Career 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! She explained everything to me and ...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.

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! She explained everything to me and I rehearsed the interview. Now it’s time to start looking for a job. - Bryden AndrewsGraduate • Sales Engineering bootcamp • OnlineSep 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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!!
