The curriculum was great. Anyone who is learning to be QA should defiantly look into Careerist. I am still in the job search. However, the positive thing you can take away from the program is the relationship your able to develop with your mentors and peers, while finding the job. That’s why I give careerist 5 star.

Working with the folks at Careerist was great! The instructors are very knowledgeable, and working professionals in the field we're studying in! I am currently in the process of sending out resumes with the career coach advising. Both Aruzhan and Viktor have been amazing on prepping me for this portion.

So far so good :)
So far the experience has been great! The Mentors are probably the best part of careerist! I also love the internship and the hands on approach.
My only advice is be patient and do what your mentors ask of you.

I completed the QA Manual course at Careerist
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.

My first introduction to QA IT work
My first introduction to QA IT work. I've honestly learned a lot from this company on their teachings and guidance that I received and still receive annual calls from my mentor which to me show a big difference then other company's.
