Your life will be nonexistent for 6 weeks but it is a worth it. Is there enough support from Careerist instruction? In my case, yes. But take that with a grain of salt. I happened to be in a cohort which started out with ~11 students, but by the end there were only 7 of us (Again, don't underestimate the difficulty) with 2 instructors and a TA so I had ample support. My instructors were so knowledgeable and could solve any testing problem it seemed. I lucked out with quality instructors. The quality of instruction can vary based on your cohort. We had TA sessions I think 3 times a week where our TA would help you finish any assignment you were stuck on. Since there were so few of us we really got tailored support.

What I loved the most about the UX Design course is that it's designed to be hands-on. I learned design in Figma, built a portfolio, completed an internship, and ? with the help of a mentor ? landed a high-paying job in a couple of months. During the course we were given various assignments and projects that helped us apply the concepts we learned in class. This not only helped me understand the material better but also boosted my confidence in my ability to perform as a UX Designer. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to build a career in tech. It's an investment that will pay off in the long run, and I'm confident that the skills I've gained from this course will help me succeed in my future endeavors.

Overall great course, happy with the outcome. The staff is very helpful, the instructor and assistants we had were available and flexible with all students, which was key because sometimes work and life got in the way. The course consists of the core skills needed in testing, Tableau and SQL that are needed in testing. The units were taught well, it can feel a little quick but as long as you are willing to put in the time then all is good. If I have to say one negative thing about the course it would be the fact that it does not include enough about the use of Python in software testing since some employers ask for this skill. However, I knew this before selecting the course and given the length of the course it is not something I would signal as a major criticism at all. Overall, happy and would recommend.

Careerist made it easier to switch from my previous career to testing. The instructors are always improving the courses to make sure we learn the skills required by the current industry. Overall I found that my teachers were well prepared, clear in their explanations and always ready to help. The only issue that I had with the course is the lack of writing material to refer too. Certain lessons were outdated as well but it is too expect when programmes are changing all the time. Instructors were quick to react in this case and we never lost lesson time because of it. During our project week, instructors made sure to guide us without doing the work for us and I believe that really helps set the new skills we were taught. Finally, the support with the job search has been outstanding, Careerist staff was very responsive and always ready to help.

I decided to change my professional career 4 months ago after hearing from friends that working as a QA allowed you to work from the comfort of your home in addition to earning a good pay. I began searching for courses to study this type of work, and when I came across Careerist, I was incredibly impressed by their perfectly designed website, which detailed the many course formats they provide. When I contacted them, they thoroughly described the entire procedure to me. My expertise was nothing when I began the online Manual QA course, but the classes supplied by the program are really simple to learn, so it was definitely the greatest choice. I also took part in internship, which is basically a great way to learn working in teams. I received a lot of assistance from Careerist in creating my cover letter, resume, and practice interviews. With their guidance, I undoubtedly found a job quickly.

I was introduced to Careerist by a graduate friend who found an 80K job after the online Manual QA course. I went into the course with an open mind and not sure of what I will get, but my expectations were to get at least a 70K job. First things first, the Manual QA course is very well structured and the lessons are presented in simple language that is easy to understand. Knowledge level of all the instructors was superb! It gave me a deep knowledge and understanding of software testing methodologies, as well as prepared me for a job interview. The most important thing is that you not only get deep theoretical knowledge, but real software testing oh-hand experience, which is essential for the work. The whole process was really interesting and engaging. The amount of help and confidence provided was tremendous. Mentorship program, which is 1-on-1 calls with the mentor was just amazing! I graduated from the Manual QA course at Careerist and found my 70K job within 3.5 months of my active job search. Thank you Careerist for the fantastic experience! Will definitely come back for QA Automation course in the nearest future!

But first, read my review and decide for yourself if it is worth it!

My mother, who had no experience in this field, took the Careerist course about three years ago and got a great job. When I say a great job, I mean she makes working from home over 200k and experiences no stress or does not feel overwhelmed with a workload. She has a flexible schedule and tons of benefits, and she performed first-class work that she had been taught how to do at Careerist.

Last year, she recommended that I should take the course, even though I am a full-time student; she said I would not have a problem keeping up with a Careerist course load, and I would be able to find a job that I would be able to do parallel with my school studies. She was right! I took a course, and it was a fantastic experience! Every instructor was so caring and helped me and all the other students understand the material and learn how to perform quality QA work. After completing the main course, we were assigned two internships, which later became a part of our resume. Moreover, a Careerist provides you with a mentor who helps you study for interviews, makes you a resume, and helps you build your LinkedIn account. Which other school would do something like this?

In conclusion, it is the best school, and I am grateful for all the knowledge and experience I gained at Careerist! I am also about to start my new job, which allows me to work from home like my mother and have an easy and flexible schedule so that I can complete my main degree stress-free.

I lacked a tech background when I joined Careerist. I made mistakes in my tasks. Instead of just telling me that I did something wrong, the teachers analyzed my mistakes together with me. They improved my way of thinking which made me feel more confident. Even though some groups tend to be large, tutors find time for everyone. Individual mentorship is really individual!

I’ve been working for a tech startup for two months already. And I really want to thank Careerist for acquainting me with the industry. The way people behave and communicate here is different from the traditional world of offline professions. Our teachers warned us that we would need to pick up new knowledge on the go and this is exactly what’s happening. I don’t feel like I’m an outsider.

A friend of mine’s a tester just like me but I completed the Careerist course and he’s self-taught. He’s been wanting to get a full-time job for over a year already but employers have only offered him projects. I found a full-time remote job 14 weeks after graduation. I was picky and didn’t accept an offer with a low salary. I can only recommend Careerist to people whose goal is not limited to becoming technologically knowledgeable but who want to get employed on good conditions.

Throughout my studies I was worried about how fast I would be able to get a job. I needed money badly. I knew that some students remain unemployed for months after graduation. Fortunately, the quality of career coaching on the course was high. I rehearsed the job interview and composed a portfolio. It took me two months to find a job. I’ve already earned the money I spent on getting an education. Thanks, Careerist!

You can tell the teachers are experienced without even looking at their bios. The way they speak, as well as the information they give, says it all. The best thing is that everyone understands that it’s a course limited by time, so they try to give as much info as they can within a time limit, and we try to absorb as much as we can. So again, mentors and teachers from the sales engineering course – thank you so much for being professional and passionate about your job!

During the course I spent many hours discussing employment opportunities in the group and individually with my mentor. She explained how to apply for vacancies, what salary to expect and how to impress interviewers. The internship part of the course was really practice-oriented. I began to search for jobs one month before graduation. I’m not employed yet but I know I will be sometime soon.

The curriculum was comprehensive and the instructors were not only knowledgeable but also very supportive. The hands-on projects gave me practical experience, and the flexibility of the online format fit perfectly with my schedule. I also appreciated the strong sense of community–fellow students and mentors were always ready to collaborate. Kudos to Careerist for delivering such a top-notch learning experience!

I completed the manual qa boot camp. Maybe I will complete qa automation too, but later. I had never studied online before and I didn’t know what to expect. The first module, software qa fundamentals, seemed a bit too abstract to me. But then we switched to web testing and mobile testing and we nailed it! The module preparing us for the job market was among the best too. 👍

Careerist isn't your traditional way of learning and breaking into the tech industry but i must say it is effective. I was able to learn a lot through the courses and internship. I can confidently say i can thrive in a live work environment. And the mentors make sure you are fully prepared for the job search. Its all up to you to and your work ethic.

I had a wonderful experience. The teachers are all educated professionals and well versed in their field. The mentors are always present and available for questions, diligently monitor our growth and always full of guidance and words of encouragement. I feel prepared for my journey as a sales engineer and I would recommend careerist to anyone wanting to break into tech.

Careerist is a scam. I start this course 3 years ago. It was name Jobeasy. They lied about your resume. Create a dummy website and put it on your resume. if you did not get the job then said your English is not good that's why you did not get the job. Only those who get a job anyone has IT experience or an IT degree. Right now they block my account and even my mentor does not support me and not giving my money back

My life was changed after taking these classes. I had taken Automation classes before at three different places and at the end I did not even qualify for any automation job. After taking class at Careerist, I just realized how much I truly wasted my time and money at other places. The course was clear, complete and well presented. ALWAYS there was some one to help me one on one with my questions and blockers. I really enjoyed taking this course and finally I got my dream job. I couldnt do it without their help.
