    Excellent instructors who are attentive to students 24/7

    Excellent instructors who are attentive to students 24/7. They will stay with you after class until you understand the material front to back. If you want a rigorous introduction to the world of QA, Careerist is the place to start. Put in the time, participate in class, and complete their assignments without looking for shortcuts. I stuck to that routine and secured a job within two weeks after the program ended.

    Income Share Agreement Trap

    Don't do it! The tech sales course charges $1000 and presents talented and high-status businessmen as teachers to draw in students and give us a course with content as rudimentary as one can get from any Sales 101 Youtube series, promises closely guided career search counseling, but in practice, hires mentors that recommend lying about the student's work experience, offer only a resume template and added buzzwords and who also need to be reminded multiple times over weeks to turn on Job ...

    Dear Mr. Carvalho, Sam. You are around a 50th in a row who is saying exactly what you have said here but in different media. Well, not word in word (like  a resume template you mention above:) ), but the contents are generally the same: very poor level of aducation, fake resume and somehow a student lands a job on his own. Right into that fiels where he almost received a zero knowledge from Careerist, he/she finds a high paying job in tech. As soon as he/she starts get paid this high wages, he starts to invent how to escape his payouts under the ISA. So, the outcome from these stories is that you came to Careerist with no money and used the advantage of ISA, then got almost no education, tailored a fake resume as mentor requested, cheated the employer and got a job, think of cheating Careerist and not pay a penny because it does not cost it. Bingo!

    Course on best practices

    Overall I was pleased with the Manual QA course that I attended, which was held for seven weeks. Although I was already familiar with many of the topics, it was good to receive a refresher course on best practices. I do wish that there was more explanation of intermediate tactics in software testing. The course was worth the money.

    Сareer change to tech

     I was thinking about making a career change to tech and there were so many different paths and fields to take. Careerist was a fantastic help because they have some good, free resources on their site that detailed what these different paths and fields really do! After some more research, I decided to enroll in their Manual course. Every single bit of it was project based, hands-on experience. I definitely recommend Careerist if you are serious about learning and motivat...

    CareerUp review

    I signed up for a CareerUp program last March with Careerist. I had been working in a QA Engeneer for 2 years and had reached the highest level of my role. I was eager to grow within my company and was looking to step up to the next level. I hoped to become atleast a team lead at bigger tech company. The program was amazing (and challenging at the same time!). Everyone at Careerist team was a great support. I finished the course in May i had three succsesfull interviews! And couldn’t be ...

    This company is a total SCAM ARTIST run by scammers, upon calling them to inquire about QA education program, the rep PRANAV immediately began to argue about the price and asking for an application fee worth $800? what ? have you lost your mind, scamming and robbing students. RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE BEFORE THEY SELL YOU FAKE DREAMS, I am also reporting this scammers to FBI to take a look into their financials,
