I used to be suspicious of all the online courses… there are so many of them and they teach the same skills. What matters for me is real success stories of both teachers and graduates. Careerist graduates work for tech giants such as meta or amazon. And teachers are current practitioners! That’s why I opted for Careerist. Now the funniest thing… When I graduated, I accepted an offer from a startup and not a tech giant because the conditions were simply superb…

Manual QA - WIP review
I have just finished the first internship. I have not yet gone through the real internship, the mentorship or the the job searching tool, that is why this is a WIP review

Like any other course, whether it is online or in an university, this bootcamp have really good teachers that really know what they are talking about and are able to answer to random questions or give real life examples as well as simplified examples and also have teachers that they may be really good at their jobs, but they are not really good at teaching, some of them just read the slides and may have some difficulty trying to explain some concepts that may be obvious to a professional, but not so much to a beginner.
The first internship was really good, I was lucky to have the lead that I got, she was able to explain all the steps needed during the assignments of the tasks. This was definitely necessary to review some of the concepts that were not super clear to some of my classmates.
I am currently doing the second internship I look forward to meet with the mentors and to start using the job searching tool. - Cynthia RidgewayStudent • Software QA Engineering • OnlineJul 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Knowledgeable, Helpful, encouraging.
I would highly recommend Careerist if you are wanting to break into tech. I was skeptical at first(didn't know what to expect). I have now graduated and am about to do my internship outside of Careerist. My instructors are absolutely wonderful and really are available if you need help or don't know something. Thank you to everybody here at Careerist! - Thomas ChoiGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineJul 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Careerist manual Qa course
This program was nothing but amazing. The classes where good easy to follow, the staff was amazing they answered every question in a great time frame. The internal internship was great as well The tram lead (viki) was nothing short of amazing. She was very knowledgeable, patient she made everything a breeze. - Steve O LeungStudent • Software QA Engineering • OnlineJul 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Well spaced and no pressure
A very interesting course that is well planned and focused not only on learning the job, but also getting the job, they offer free classes to see if it is something you would like. I really appreciated the ability to reach out for support, however one must also apply themselves to get the course done in a timely manner. - Billy BanksGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineJul 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I’m a QA tester now!
When choosing a tech course I considered only the options with a money-back guarantee. Careerist promises to give back 100% of the tuition fee to those who fail to get employed within 1 year after graduation. It made me feel more confident and I began to trust it more. I wanted a fully remote QA job with a flexible schedule and a decent salary. It took me four months to find such a job. Maybe, I could have coped faster. But honestly I didn’t concentrate my efforts exclusively on job sear...When choosing a tech course I considered only the options with a money-back guarantee.

Great Bootcamp very well taught
All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the materials in a way that a beginner can understand. They also took the time to explain any questions multiple times if necessary. The coursework was great and laid out in a way that is not overwhelming to a beginner like myself.

Thanks for all
I saw people here talking about how difficult it is to change spheres and begin studying something new, but very few mentioned that paying for the courses can also be a problem for some people. Thanks to the payment splitting option that Careerist has I was actually able to afford a course! That’s awesome, especially if you take into account that I managed to get a job in the end. Thanks a lot! - PerpetualGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineJul 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
No Jobs available!
I did manual QA with Careerist, you learned a lot within a short time, and the internal project was a good experience. However, the QA lead of the external project wasn’t good with communication and could not elaborate on the tasks properly, but overall it was ok. The downside of the program is, Careerist is not honest with the Job market. It is challenging and almost impossible to find Jobs based on only manual QA experience; employers want people with QA Automation experience. I would ...I did manual QA with Careerist, you learned a lot within a short time, and the internal project was a good experience. However, the QA lead of the external project wasn’t good with communication and could not elaborate on the tasks properly, but overall it was ok. The downside of the program is, Careerist is not honest with the Job market. It is challenging and almost impossible to find Jobs based on only manual QA experience; employers want people with QA Automation experience. I would have appreciated it if they were honest about this and gladly paid for the manual QA + Automation combo, knowing there would be a job for me when I finish the course. Careerist prefers when you do the manual QA first and then advise you and expect you to pay for the automation course(extra $4000) if you don’t get a job; that’s manipulation. It’s not a bad program/investment if jobs are available, but there aren’t; I’ve been looking for one for the past three months! So how can I pay a $4200 loan without a job? They also assured me of a money-back guarantee, but I doubt they will give me back my money if I don’t get a job; just another lie/scam.Farida of Careerist

I’ve graduated from the manual QA course by Careerist which is my first experience in tech sphere.
I had no technical background before and I expected that it would be quite difficult for me to understand everything. But in fact it turned out to be a really well-structured course with detailed information presented in a comprehensible form. But the best thing for me is that mentors do really help not to give up - they don’t only explain complex issues but also motivate and support. Now it’s 2.5 months after the course, my mentor still keeps in touch with me and I finally have my first...I had no technical background before and I expected that it would be quite difficult for me to understand everything.
