    My overall experience with Careerist has been good so far. I found their free webinars very insightful, which led me to take the plunge to sign up for their courses so that I could dive deeper into the world of Manual QA. I am thankful for the valuable hands-on learning experience, not just through the courses itself, but also through the internships and mentorship, and the ability to directly learn from people in the industry. Everybody has been very supportive of each other, and the instructors that I've had, have taken the time to answer people's questions, and provide feedback and insight about the industry. The knowledge they've shared has been incredibly valuable and appreciated, and it makes me excited to break into the tech industry!

    The mentors are not qualified. During our meeting, I asked very specific questions about how we will proceed, and how my resume should be curtailed for the Sales Engineering position, and Aigerism could not answer the questions. Then, on March 7, I had a demo + interview session with Farhan Awan. He did not give me any constructive criticism as to how I can improve my demo. Additionally, during the interview portion of the session, he was critical of my answers; his body language was coming across as negative to me with Farhan constantly shaking his head from side to side and rolling his eyes, indicating disagreement or disapproval. Before this demo session, we never received any practical hands-on training in the classroom to successfully prepare and complete a good demo and ace a tech industry interview. I have not acquired the adequate training and skills to become a Sales Engineer. I am left to seek other avenues and boot camps to learn how to demo, learn to interview successfully, learn how to optimize my LinkedIn and resume, and learn to effectively seek a Sales Engineering position. I am highly disappointed with my financial investment and time in the Careerist program. Since starting this program, I have not received an adequate return on my investment. I have connected with other former students who encountered similar experiences to mine, and they have enrolled in other boot camps and as a result, now have jobs in the tech industry. The Careerist program is a scam. The internship is a joke. It is just you calling potential students to get them to sign up for Careerist. During the internship, they do not train you with any technical skills to be a Sales Engineer or to do a successful demo presentation. There are so many students that I have spoken with that have graduated from Careerist, and have not found jobs as Sales Engineer. They, like myself, wish we could get our money back.

    I have enjoyed this program. It really helped me to get learn skills I need to be successful as a QA Analyst. Max P****** was an excellent Team lead on the internal internship. He provided valuable constructive feedback to me to correct my errors.

    I have enjoyed my training with Careerist for the Software QA Engineering program! The teachers are patient and break things down very quickly. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made to help pivot my career into tech. I'm starting my internship next week and then the mentorship and job search services afterward. I'm so excited!

    I took a Manual QA course from Careerist, Inc. The course is presented in simple language that is easy to understand. I didn't have any IT knowledge before I signed up for this course, This course is structured in that way anyone can learn from the scratch. It gives you a deep knowledge and understanding of software testing methodologies, as well a prepares you for a job interview. The most important thing is that you not only get good theoretical knowledge, but real software testing experience during the internship, which is essential for future work. The big advantage of this course is that while having a full time job I was able to study at my own pace. Although I was enrolled in an online version of the course, I got all the help and support I needed from the course instructor and to successfully complete .

    The instructors are have lots of experience, are passionate about teaching, patient and very positive. It is lot of work / time commitment but the support and how everything is organized really makes it feel possible to complete the course. I will definitely recommend it!

    After 6+ years of experience in Customer Facing Roles, I decided it was time to elevate In my career. I got to know about Careerist and enrolled into the Sales Engineering program. Their program is packed with practical information and what tops it up is their experienced instructors who are all experts in the Sales Engineering field. I have had a change of mindset and have been equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in Sales Engineering. They kept their word with assigning mentors to students and is having access to the Job Application Software to make applying for jobs easier. I 10/10 would recommend Careerist to anyone who needs the education in order to pivot into Tech, without breaking the bank.

    Excellent software manual QA courses, every steps are explained, teachers are very respectful, challenges you to do your best. Classes are fun and if you miss the classes for some reason, you can always watch them later on your own time. Internship was a breeze, I just started a new temp job while was doing my internship and they were very understanding to make me do it on my own pace, but keeping it on schedule. If you are interested in QA, this is a good platform to begin your journey with.

    I had a great experience with Careerist. The teachers and mentors are very knowledgeable and provide valuable feedback whenever we need. The internship was very helpful. The support team is very quick in response.After I landed a job I referred this program to couple of my friends and I also got a referral bonus. Mentors help you for mock interviews and do interview and resume preparation. I would highly recommend Careerist to anyone who wants to get a job in IT.
