    Comfortable payment plan

    I couldn’t afford the full tuition fee upfront. I asked several course providers to offer personalized payment plans for me and Careerist offered the most comfortable option. After completing the system engineering course, I got my first job rather easily but left it in two months. It took me 11 weeks to find a perfect job enabling me become a digital nomad. I feel free and happy now.

    Overall I have been satisfied with the lessons and instructors that have been teaching me in how to do Manuel QA. Also liked that the bootcamp comes with an internship was satisfied with it since it got me familiar with the job.

    Great

    Max was awesome, during the course it got confusing. He had patience and helped me understand the topic clearly. My suggestion is to ask the instructors for help, don't be scared to ask. Just try your best and be consistent everyday

    Manual QA Software Engineer

    I’m currently in the external internship phase. Careerist has done an amazing job going step by step with me, gaining the knowledge to become a player in this tech world. I started with no clue, and now I’m close to being able to apply and land a work from home job. Family and traveling is something I’ve always wanted to do. Thanks to Careerist, I can be able to work on the go. With no worries of a
     on-site job putting in for vacation.

    IMHO, Job Application Service is more helpful than job boards

    I chose Careerist because of its custom Job Application Service. I saw how my cousin used it and I decided I wanted it too. I studied manual QA and thanks to JAS, I finally got a job. I sent around 40 applications and had two job interviews before finding my current employer.

    Absolutely amazing course!

    I really liked every bit of this course. The learning phase was very easy and understandable. I mean, everyone can start and become great at this. This course and this people allow you to have the best knowledge, best practice and what's most important, everything is up to date. Every material, every tutor is from this time period. Everyone is still in this job and they give you the material that is relevant for today. I think you just have to trust me, and just start. You will not be di...

    Seems to be worth it

    I wasn’t sure how I could become a real QA tester if I studied only 6-8 hours per week. Now, I realize that for me it’s the best format for studying as I can keep working. When I study, I can properly concentrate and I don’t get exhausted. I especially like Maria and Justin, they’re really talented teachers! I decided to leave this review after I had my first mockup interview. I made so many mistakes and now I know how to avoid them. Besides, I missed many important aspects when trying t...

    Thank you, it’s a great course!

    I joined the Systems Engineering course with only basic computer skills. I can confirm that such a low level of competence is enough to get started. The teachers are very articulate and attentive to detail. They make everyone feel confident and psychologically comfortable. It’s just as important as explaining how to use various tools.

    I’m mid-way through the QA bundle course and I love it

    I have no tech experience and I got tired of my current sphere, so my husband who’s working in QA recommended Careerist to me based on the opinions of his colleagues. Now I’m learning and sometimes I ask him to assess my skills and knowledge. So far, he’s proud of me :) He says Careerist knows how to prepare students for work. Personally, I love that teachers share large amounts of useful information with us without overloading us mentally and emotionally.

    Managed to find a job after graduation

    I completed the Sales Engineering course. Previously, I was a sales rep in b2b business and then in ed tech. What the Careerist team taught me was very different from the traditional sales techniques. My new job doesn’t imply selling products but finding ways of improving them. I fell in love with this occupation during the discovery & research stage of the internship simulator. While I was studying a startup wanted to hire me. But I preferred to work for a more stable business and t...
