If you're thinking about if this is worth it, if you should do this, will anything come out of it? Just do it. These guys gave me more attention and assistance than my entire 4 years in college. Not only that, but even after you are done, you have a career coach that stays with you, helping until you land your job. The career coaching genuinely feels like they care about the outcome of what happens to you. My career coach is Viktor, and I couldn't be more pleased with how I have been treated.

I have hard of careerist through friend at first I was skeptical but when I started the course till the end they were true to their promise. Great course learning all aspects of quality assurance even lessons that are not necessarily used at work but will make you a better professional, knowing things just to make you a professional and sound good on interview. I enjoyed the courier coaching which was very helpful. After I finished the course. I felt like I know everything. above all. I was really busy. Person and I didn’t have enough time, but they were able to be patient with me and work with me according to my schedule

Excellent company with an awesome team of career coaches that offer loads of help with job placement! Very little if any complaints about the coaches and instructors themselves, if any. The way I see it, it really comes down to the student and how much they put into the courses and job search that will determine their success. Not much room for excuse at all.

My career has benefited greatly!
My career has benefited greatly from the course. I've never been good at studying, but I've been looking forward to this course for a while. practical knowledge of homework. Through the course and my job search, my mentor and teacher were a huge help. Thank you so much to everyone at Careerist, especially to those who gave me the push I needed to begin working as an Automation Tester. Pros: Gave me the push I needed to begin Cons: Requires self-motivation and efficient time management skills

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.

Careerist is a good start to learn the basics when you know nothing about tech. Alex was my lead for the internship and I enjoyed working with him as a lead. I have had a great experience so far, make sure you also go back over the material to make sure you understand the material.

I've had a great experience with the learning part of the UX Design course. I've had previous experience with learning UX Design but this was way more in depth when it comes to setting up each project and also even a portfolio for presenting the project as well. I've just started my internship phase of the classes and it is going great so far and I can't wait to see what is in store for me in the future of my UX/UI Design career.

Careerist has helped continue my professional education in the UI/UX design industry. It enabled me to increase my skills and confidence in areas that I felt were lacking in order for me to pursue better job opportunities. I have finished the first part of the course and am about to start the internship where we break off into groups and work under a professional design lead for a real company. I'm very excited to work in a group and on a real client. I am impressed by all of the instructors who are industry professionals and excel in their areas of design expertise. I feel like I've learned a lot, and am motivated to continue my professional career.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Careerist. The instructors were engaging, and the material is easy to follow. I am currently in my job search phase and working with Saule who is an absolute gem 💎 😍. She is helpful, knowledgeable, and follows up with me to make sure I'm getting everything done to secure a job as a sales engineer. She even sent me info for free trainings in Python!! Mind you, Careerist will teach you all you need to know about being a sales engineer but YOU have to do the work to secure your ideal job. They are here for you every step of the way though. If you're thinking about signing up, I say do it!!

Careerist has a good curriculum for anyone who has never been in the Tech field. Their courses are easy to understand and very informative. I learned slot through taking their MQA course and I had a lot of support every step of the way. The teachers and mentors are good at what they do and they do their best to make sure every student who joins gets the most out of their course. As long as you follow their guideline, stay focused and hold yourself accountable with the projects and the work, you will definitely see improvement in a short amount of time and also build the confidence to be able to go out into the real world and get a new tech job confidently.

If you're looking to get into IT field with no experience then Careerist is the way to go.

Careerist instructors are well experienced, have hands on knowledge and are very motivational. Now that I'm successfully working within the industry, I've found that Careerist curriculum was on point with covering many fundamental task and training that I've encountered in my current role. I'm grateful that Careerist structure and guidance from their great job coaches, has helped lead me to being well on my way in achieving my goals as a remote Software QA Engineer. I'm looking forward to completing the QA Automation program with Careerist.

The team was always quick to respond, which made the process smooth and stress-free. The payment plan option was also a huge plus, making it more accessible.

I took 2 courses at Careerist - manual and automated QA. Manual course helped me to learn the basics of new profession, get first real experience and land a dream job as QA Engineer. The automated course was more challenging than manual, but teachers did a great job in explaining Python, Selenium and algorithms. Trust their expertise and follow their advice.

Great bootcamp with minor issues
I had an awesome experience with Careerist. The teachers were great. My only issue would be with some of the curriculum, it could have more information with intricacies that will better develop students in the QA field. The best part of the bootcamp was my mentor Sofiia, she has gone above and beyond with me even though she has many other mentees.

I just had the opportunity to finish the Manual QA course along with the first part of the internships they offer. I enjoyed every step of the course. The information is watered down enough for someone not familiar with the industry yet serves as a great refresher for those that are more seasoned. Everyone, from the instructors to team leads and their email support team is responsive, supportive, and friendly. I had a great internal internship with my team lead, *********************, as he was reassuring, provided great feedback, and was understanding with time conflicts with my current position for said internship. Nothing but great things to say about this company.

Careerist manual qa review.
This is my honest opinion of careerist. I was skeptical about the whole process( I'm skeptical by nature) but it proved to work. It takes hard work and effort to succeed. Careerist provided learning material step by step and support for any questions you have. The internship provided experience in the job and then Oleksandra , my career coach provided support while job hunting. If you listen , and continue putting in effort I think anyone can succeed at this process. Some of the lesson material was repetitive and redundant but over all they teach you how to do the job correctly, and find a job once done with their program.
Areas I think careerist can improve.
- more engagement one on one in internship , classroom ( career coaching is great for this reason )
- lesson material in my learning space is scattered and available in multiple places making it slightly confusing where to find material you are searching for.

I completed the QA Manual course at Careerist in 2021 and I must say it has been a transformative experience. As someone who has been working in the IT industry for nearly two years now as a software QA, I wanted to share my experience at Careerist, and Careerist exceeded my expectations in every way. One of the most outstanding aspects of Careerist is the unwavering support they offer to their students. From the moment I enrolled, each class was a huge help, I learned a lot from it. And I will go back to review all the study material, each time helps me to understand more. After completing the study course, they provided professional mentorship and technical skills training that helped me refine my abilities in software quality assurance. The guidance and mentorship were invaluable in building my confidence and competence. What sets Careerist apart is their commitment to not only imparting knowledge but also creating real-world opportunities. The offer of internship experience after course completion is like a door opening to individuals like me, who may not have had extensive IT backgrounds. It's a pathway to step into the right direction within the tech industry. I'm deeply appreciative of the support I received from my mentor, who was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my success. The entire team at Careerist was consistently helpful, responsive, and encouraging. My experience at Careerist has reinforced my belief that when you invest time and effort into something you are passionate about, the results will come. I've grown as a QA professional, expanded my skill set, and opened up exciting new career opportunities, thanks to Careerist. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking to advance in the tech industry, especially those without extensive IT backgrounds, to consider Careerist. The journey may seem challenging, but with the right support and dedication, you'll find yourself on a path to success.
