    I've just graduated from the Manual QA course. The course is structured and a lot of additional topics are covered that I like a lot. All teachers are great and knowledgeable. The internship is very helpful to get real experience and all instructions were given. With appropriate time and effort easy to do. What caught my eye was the course program that included Internal Internship, External Internship, and the very important part one-to-one mentorship until the goal (my new job) is reached. I'm on the way to change my life and I'm confident that I'll get my job soon. One more thing I like a lot is the weekly Graduates' meeting with success stories. I watch them in recording and participate online whenever I have time to stay motivated and ask questions. I would definitely recommend the Careerist QA Manual course to anyone who wants to start from scratch in a new career.

    I had a wonderful experience. The teachers are all educated professionals and well versed in their field. The mentors are always present and available for questions, diligently monitor our growth and always full of guidance and words of encouragement. I feel prepared for my journey as a sales engineer and I would recommend careerist to anyone wanting to break into tech.

    Careerist is a very good training program that has well planned lessons, good mentors and internship opportunities. Their support team is very quick in helping us resolve any issues that we face. Interview preparation, Resume writing, LinkedIn profile, and job search are all very excellent.I enjoyed taking this training program.

    I enrolled in the Manual QA program and I can say it's one of the best decisions I've made in while. From the first day, they've all about aiding and helping the students especially when they see you're determined. My instructors and professors were extremely nice and informative.

    I paid with for $3300 almost to take the Careerist Sales Engineer program. When I signed up for the course there were suppose to be to be 30 people and behold there were over 400 people in the class. This is not what I signed up for. The program was very much misrepresented as I didn't receive what the curriculum offered as a Sales Engineer role in the job market you need to have hands-on experience and many different certifications. All Careerist provided was lots, and lots. and lots of slides and lots of chat and talking. From day one some of us didn't get mentors and what very fragile material they had. The curriculum stated that we were going to do demonstrations (demo's) and I did my own research on Youtube to see how to do a demo and Careerist only provided me to do a 5 minutes presentation, imagine 6 weeks program for $3300 for a 5 min demo and I had to do my own research and they only drop things in the slack channel that I had already Youtube. Imagine my disappointment. The resume building was a complete disaster and the resume template which was provided cannot get anyone a job and to top it off I have to figure most of it out and came to find out in the real world this resume cannot get anyone a job as it was poorly written, with a person who should be a mentor that can not write english very well and all mentor are from different parts of the whole and do understand how American resume should look like. As for the curriculum was not written very well also. The Class decorman was horrible, 20 people asking the same questions for 4 straight weeks in a row, why became a Careerist cannot explain or give the hands-on experience to be a Sales Engineer. I did not get hands-on experience, no training and proper training, do demos, no homework, no assignments, no integrations, not a good resume, bad interview prep, most people complaining they didn't get a mentor for almost 6 weeks. Came to find out only certain people got privilege

    Careerist is a scam. I start this course 3 years ago. It was name Jobeasy. They lied about your resume. Create a dummy website and put it on your resume. if you did not get the job then said your English is not good that's why you did not get the job. Only those who get a job anyone has IT experience or an IT degree. Right now they block my account and even my mentor does not support me and not giving my money back

    Where do I begin? Careerist is overhyped. One instructor resigned and started his own thing to help people break into tech. There are so many issues that they need to fix. People aren't recommending them to others anymore. I don't know if they'll give everyone a refund, but it would be appreciated. There are much better tech bootcamps out there. Many people feel like Careerist is dumping all of this information on students without following up to see if anyone is lost. There wasn't enough focus on demos and mock interviews. People are applying to hundreds of tech jobs, and less than 1% of them are getting hired. Careerist doesn't provide information on the success rates of their students who received job offers. They allow anyone who has the money to sign up, but that's a problem because it doesn't feel special. Hundreds of people pay thousands of dollars every six weeks to get in, just to feel like their voices aren't heard. People have complained about instructors and mentors. They need to hire better-qualified mentors. They need to hire more instructors. They need to incorporate homework assignments and quizzes. They need to create learning materials to go with the lessons. I know Careerist has a money-back guarantee if you still haven't received a job 1 year after completing the bootcamp, but many people still don't feel well-prepared once it's over. All they tell us to do is apply for no less than 90+ jobs per week. That's unrealistic. I have applied for over 100 jobs in one month, and I haven't been contacted for an interview yet. Some people paid as much as $4,200 just to not be satisfied with the way Careerist has been handling things. Careerist students have been warning others on here and social media not to waste their time and money and go somewhere else instead.

    This place is an actual scam! please do your research on reddit and on ****** before joining.I had joined with so much hope but really its 2/10 students who actually end up getting a job from this. There are far better programs out there, don't waste your money. It's just ruthless for them to provide such false hope and leave you in the dark. Many of the comments that provide a good rating or have good things said about the program are all fake. I had actually contacted a few graduates from Careerist and all of them said that it was such a waste of money. Please be careful and think hard before throwing your money away.

    My life was changed after taking these classes. I had taken Automation classes before at three different places and at the end I did not even qualify for any automation job. After taking class at Careerist, I just realized how much I truly wasted my time and money at other places. The course was clear, complete and well presented. ALWAYS there was some one to help me one on one with my questions and blockers. I really enjoyed taking this course and finally I got my dream job. I couldnt do it without their help.
