Great quick career change opportunity

Fun, exciting, informative, understanding
During the course I was nervous of learning something completely new. Once I started to get a routine done and completing the tasks, the nerves went away. The instructors were great and very helpful. They answered every questioned I had and covered everything I would need to know. I appreciate the experience and would highly recommend this course to others. - ElenaGraduate • QA Automation+Python bootcamp • OnlineFeb 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I particularly appreciated the hands-on approach of the boot camp, which allowed me to immediately put the concepts and skills I learned into practice.

Hands-on internship
If you want to land a tech job quickly, this course is for you. You don't need to have an IT background; all you need is to put effort and time into studying on your own. Online classes were helpful, but you need to do a lot of self-study. I landed a job in a month with the help of mentoring and interview preparation. My mentor kept me accountable, and the internship projects were helpful in gaining practical skills. I highly recommend this course. - Quinn ThomasChief Operations Officer • Graduate • Sales Engineering bootcamp • OnlineFeb 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

However, I found that the lack of step-by-step instructions made it difficult to follow along, especially for those new to the field.
The course materials were presented in a rather disjointed fashion, with concepts and topics often introduced without sufficient context or explanation. This made it challenging to understand how the different pieces fit together, and I often found myself having to look up additional information or ask for clarification.
Another issue I encountered was that the course didn't seem to be structured in a way that accommodated a large number of students. While there were opportunities for interaction and discussion, the class size was simply too large to allow for meaningful engagement with instructors and peers. As a result, I often felt lost in the crowd and struggled to keep up with the pace of the course.
Despite these challenges, the Careerist Technical Sales Engineering Bootcamp does offer valuable insights and practical skills for those looking to enter the field of technical sales. However, it's important to be aware of the limitations of the course and be prepared to supplement the materials with additional resources and support as needed. - KseniiaGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineFeb 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I like how they assist you until you get hired. When I started this course I had 0 experience in IT field, and got job in 4 months of my job search, I am on my second job search, still getting same assistance as when I first started looking for a job. - KATE RYZHKOVASoftware engineer • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineFeb 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Good Experience
The course is taught by professionals who have many years of experience and knowledge in the field of QA. It only required 2 hours of commitment 5 days a week (if I remember correctly) during the time I was taking the course. Additionally, everything was remote work. The instructors were very kind and informational. They'll answer your questions and concerns. When I signed up for the course I did the Manual QA bundle.

It only required 2 hours of commitment 5 days a week (if I remember correctly) during the time I was taking the course. Additionally, everything was remote work. The instructors were very kind and informational. They'll answer your questions and concerns. When I signed up for the course I did the Manual QA bundle. I didn't use the Job Application Service (JAS) 'cause I didn't need to. JAS is limited with how long they'll provide assistance so just heads up. What I loved the most about the bundle was gaining real work experience through an internship(s) and having a mentor upon completing your internship(s). I can't speak for others and their experience, but my mentor did a great job with providing me with assistance and guidance. It took me some time before getting hired, but it was due to the impact of the recession. Other than that, careerist prepared me well. Do keep in mind that at the end of the day, you must follow the advice of your instructors/mentor and be ready to put in the work. I found careerist to be resourceful and beneficial to my learning path. Others may disagree in regards to their circumstances, but everyone's experience is different at the end of the day.
