    Careerist is one of the few quality online learning platforms that delivers a great learning experience, combined with a personalized approach and constant feedback loop. I have completed Manual QA and QA Automation courses, we have completed a lot of homework, different types of internships and now we're getting mentorship in job search this an amazing opportunity to truly start in IT from scratch and you know you will not be left alone in the journey.I strongly recommend check out at least first ****** which is usually free for you to understand how the learning process goes :)

    I can say Careerist has been a great experience for me. I wish I had switched over to QA a long tome ago. The instructors, and advisor and coach are friendly, people oriented, professional and did I say ""Awesome". It has a great platform and training martial. I am happy to have been a student at 'Careerist".

    I had been working in a lower position in healthcare and couldn't figure out which direction to go career-wise. I was scrolling through Instagram when I discovered Careerist. I had seen boot camp postings before but never paid any mind to them. But for some reason, I did with Careerist. It took me some time to gain the courage to just go for it, and I'm glad I did. I went through both the ******************* courses and I can say Careerist has done a great job with focused education, training, and coaching. I'm soon to continue my job search, but I can say I've learned quality ways how to properly prep and apply for any job/role. The support team has been extremely helpful. Assisting with both QA and non-QA questions. There are many roles and titles one can take on after Careerist that would've been possible because of Careerist. Would highly recommend Careerist to folks looking for a career change or want a direction in their tech field.

    I can honestly could not go on this QA engineer path without Careerist. I thought I could do this on my own but realized I needed the right resources, guidance, and accountability to keep me on track and Careerist has held my hand through the process. You will get more than enough help and resources. Even during the online classes I had to the opportunity to have all of my questions answered. You will have a mentor that is readily reachable, help you with your LinkedIn profile and resume to get you job ready, and will also help you to prepare for your interview questions. If you are interested in starting a new career Careerist is a great investment for your future.

    ******* has better training on tech sales and pre sales engineering. Do NOT attend Careerist! They employ Unfair Business Practices. They do not honor their refund policy and will keep you locked in no matter what. Their policy states you can withdraw after 3 classes and they offer two classes free. That is a bold face lie. I attended four sessions and only one of the four was an actual class. The first session a meet and greet, the second a general discussion about transitioning into tech, the third was the first lecture and the fourth was a Q&A. Of all 4 sessions o my one was a class. I expressed my need to withdraw and was denied a refund at every angle. They will not honor the first two sessions as FREE and will use a meet and greet and General discuss where no lecture Ms were ****** as classes to trap you. Every one pays a different price and this is the extent of which they will go to sell a c*** course. I paid well over $6000 with financing and other members of my class who opted for financing was quoted at a lesser and some higher rates for the same course. I gave it a shot because of what was stated in their policy and now they are not honoring. Ill let them do what they want and I have already contacted an attorney about suing. They will give me my money back plus any legal fees if not more. Do Course Careers or ********************* sales academy instead. Better content and structure. Not this c***

    The journey with Careerist has been nothing short of a heart-jarring experience!! Let me rephrase that ;). This has been the best investment I've made in my 5 short years in entrepreneurship!!I know they don't sell courses or affiliate programs, because even God knows we don't need another one of those. I sat and did my own research on Careerist for months. I made sure they had enough credibility, proven results, and are providing genuine impact, and I think it's safe to report everything is exactly as they advertised.I genuinely believe they would have scaled and improved even further by the time you read this, because their industry knowledge, attention to detail, and request for feedback are unmatched. Their speed to apply the feedback to see even better results is why I believe they are underrated. Organized, professional, and their instructors actually practice what they preach. Some with decades of experience. I went through their Sales Engineering program, and my transition into the tech industry could not have been smoother had I not found Careerist. I see all the mistakes I would have made had I tried to break into tech myself, only leveraging my entrepreneurial experiences. I have Coach ******, Coach ******, all the Sales Engineering instructors and support staff to thank for saving me time and stress. If you are on the fence about Careerist, all I have to say is; as long as you have a realistic plan, confidence in yourself (they also help you build that if you need it), and you are willing to apply what they teach, you shouldn't have much problem breaking into tech.
