    I have no long epistle to convince you that Careerist delivers the best impact from no experience to a sellable product. I thought the money invested was so much compared to the knowledge I am getting. I tell you this all the mentors will teach you until you realize that you are guru and fully impacted as a Bonafide Software QA Engineer. Careerists deliver more than what you can learn from university. I have been trying to look for any loopholes in the system, unfortunately for me I have no reason to say one part is inefficient. Well established with lot of experience and friendliness. God bless the brain behind this concept. Keep it up!!!

    I recently took the Manual QA course with Careerist , Inc. It has been an awesome experience for me. Everything was well explained and the material was easy to follow. ALL The teachers were amazing, professional and well knowledable. Their feedback and quick response has been 100% from start to finish. This very organized and comfortable setting has really made me feel confident with my training to move on to the next level in my career. Let's talk about the Internship for a minute...The internship was everything and more. I gained the confidence through my internship now I'm ready to have a place in the "Tech World" I would recommend and continue to take courses through Careerist, Inc.

    Im thankful to be able to even share my experience. This program is so amazing. Professional instructors who are actually working in that job field. You can ask any questions. The access to the information is instant. This program checks every box. So worth every dollar I spent. Because I know its gonna come back to me x10000 over my career.

    The ** course was great! The instructors are fun and very knowledgeable, and they are very clear even in spite of slight language barriers at times. The online dashboard makes it simple to follow along. No complaints!

    Horrible. This course was terrible. The homework was graded and feedback wasnt given for weeks on end. At one point I didnt get graded homework until a year later, a year. They drag their feet, they say one thing of guaranteed job and dont come through. Then fight you to get your money back. I started on Feb 2022, still fighting to get my money back. The level of unprofessionalism is absurd here. The lack of contact and candor is frustrating to say the least. There is no internship they sell you on things they dont come through on.

    I signed up for a webinar and sat through the whole thing. It was as bad as being in ***** and going to a TIMESHARE Pitch, Literally BOTS in chat giving thumbs up. I did confront with factual research and they tried to discredit my info. It is a PONZI SCAM at Best. I feel bad for anybody who falls for it. I asked legitimate questions about certifications and the level they train you for and was answered with "you never need that on the job" and "you only need to know enough about that to get through the interview" so pretty much they are willing to teach you the minimum amount of info so you can trick an employer into hiring you. They then proceeded to say a list of companies their graduates are hired to by reading a list in their screen, I know for fact those companies want IT BA or experience equivalent. They tried saying all Manual QA titles pay the same not true. They are SALES not tech people on Webinar, DO NOT FALL FOR IT. there are programs 1/2 the price through your local University that will get you entry level placements...NO ONE is going to hire you to start your career with just this course.

    Careerist isn't your traditional way of learning and breaking into the tech industry but i must say it is effective. I was able to learn a lot through the courses and internship. I can confidently say i can thrive in a live work environment. And the mentors make sure you are fully prepared for the job search. Its all up to you to and your work ethic.

    Deciding to bet myself and sign up for Careerist Sales Engineering program proved to be a great move for me to break into the tech industry. From day one I was super focused and completely locked in with the goal of getting the absolute most out the program as possible. Instructors were engaging, supportive and patient with students and it even became commonplace for them to stay one, two hours over normal class hours just to take questions so that we all could have a better understanding of the more complex technical subject matters. Easily one of the my favorite learning experiences and I owe it all to the incredible instructors and career mentors Careerist has in place. During the course they place you with one of two career mentors, the first of which is there to assist you in creating a professionally constructed resume and also help you with building your online business presence on Linkedin. After successfully completing the course you are placed with a different career mentor who is there to assist with any job search tips, tricks, etc as you are now actively applying and interviewing for tech sales roles. Just another way Careerist is there even after completing the course you're still feeling fully supported. I landed my first tech sales role in two months after my graduation date and I truly owe a lot of it to Careerist for making a long time passion of mine a reality.

    I enrolled in the Sales Engineering Program for $3,200 in January 2023. The positives- the teachers are seasoned Sales Engineers and the other students are very nice. The cons- you will not have enough technical skills to get hired as an SE after their program. It is more like an intro course, but they dont tell you that. They act like you will bw able to get an SE job write away when you have your first appintment to pay for the course. They ask you to lie on your resume. My Careerist group had 70 people and not one of us have gotten an SE job in 4 months. And only 1 of us got a job and their job is in Tech sales not SE. The price is not worth it. They sell you a dream but you will NOT be able to get an SE job simply by taking the Careerist bootcamp even if you have a college degree. The program was not worth the price. Wish I could get my money back.
