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.

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.

Attentive, Understanding, Patient, Fun And Motivating
My Experience Was Definitely Helpful With My Comfort Of Changing Careers Into Something I had No Background In. The Instructors Was Top Tier On Making Sure Everyone Understood Before Moving On And Very Patient With Breaking Down Things To Have Very Great Examples. - Giorgi SvanishviliGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineAug 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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!

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.

Great, engaging experience that sets you up for success!
The course material is well organized and delivered in small doses. This allows for a high-level of comprehension and understanding of the subject matter for students. Sometimes the instruction can be confusing at times but after clarification and further explanation, it gets better. The instructors are awesome at responding to your questions.

This allows for a high-level of comprehension and understanding of the subject matter for students. Sometimes the instruction can be confusing at times but after clarification and further explanation, it gets better. The instructors are awesome at responding to your questions. The course starts out with some background on the concept of Manual QA and the employment outlook. By week two you are introduced to main testing types, and bug classification, After all of the concepts/theory you move into creating test cases and bug reports. Those are the two main tasks you will be performing as QA engineer. After several projects, quizzes and self study...you're ready for your 2 internships. The first one is internal with Careerist and the second one is an external internship with a real company, doing actual tasks that emulate what you'll be doing in the real world. Lastly, comes the career coaching part of the boot camp which definitely is designed to set you up for success. All of this within a span of 15 weeks! Worth the money!

Excellent bootcamp in Manual QA
I have currently completed my coursework with Careerist as well as my first internal project. What a great experience! All the instructors are experienced, passionate and excellent at helping their students learn the material. Like many others just starting, I was not confident at first but after my first internship I know I can do the work. All you have to do is follow their instructions.

Informative and practice-oriented!
I love that the Manual QA course was set up with the idea that anyone could follow it regardless of their prior experience. You can really see how much work has been put into organizing the learning process properly.
The most impressive thing is that the tutors for the courses are not just ordinary teachers who only work for the money.

The most impressive thing is that the tutors for the courses are not just ordinary teachers who only work for the money. All the instructors I’ve met during my 2 courses (Manual & Automation QA) are actually working elsewhere within the spheres they teach. Receiving knowledge from experienced practitioners that have a passion for their job is the most effective, IMHO! Another really important thing about the course is that tutors help with your resume and Linkedin profile after graduation.
And last but not least… I’m so happy I met some fantastic people in my group. Thank you all! - Semenova EddaGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineAug 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Student-oriented
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!
