The Careerist team is really something special. With their insight I’ve gained a big advantage within my field. The teachers really care about their students and the additional tools they provide us to excel our success are second to none. This is an honest review. Thank you Careerist!

I was assigned with a wonderful mentor who helped me on all stages of job search. I knew that It would be a challenging process - to find a job in IT, especially now that the market is slow. So my mentor spent as much time with me as I needed on personal calls, email communication, etc. She helped me with CV and cover letter, guided me through job application process and even worked as my therapist a bit when I was nervous during interviews :D We had mock calls, tech calls and LI page review - which helped me a lot in preparing for the hiring process stages, and let's be honest - infused me with healthy self-confidence :D I appreciate everything I got from Careerist, from the lectures and courses, to internship, to mentorship, to customer support – you are an amazing team doing some awesome job!

Big part way I decided to go with careerist was a possibility of internship and work with career coach, not just learn about qa. They made it possible to study, practice and search for job while keeping the full time job. Thanks to internship I was able to practice my skills and learn the programs needed for the job. My journey with my coach started pretty rough, but quickly I got assigned a new one which made my way through the job search easier by motivating me and helping getting ready for the actual interviews. In overall I'm happy with the course, teachers were always prepared and taught me a lot. I was able to land a job after 2 months of search, but that also included my hard work and being consistent. Definitely would recommend to someone who's ready to commit into the challenge of studying, working after hours and actively looking for a job daily.

I had been contemplating a career change for years and I finally made the move to do so this past year. Careerist has given me a chance to start a new chapter in my life. The program was flexible, even with a full time job I was able to finish the courses and internship within a span of five months. With the added benefit of having a personal career coach, I have been able to apply for jobs easily and confidently and am hopeful to land a new career soon.

Thanks to Careerist, I ventured into the tech field. Their program helped me gain all the knowledge I needed, the instructors were great, and my mentor was also very helpful, not only during my job search. I definitely recommend them. The only thing I would tell you is not to commit to an ISA (Income Share Agreement) because I believe you can find a job on your own. You don't need their JAS service.

Overall, Careerist was a great academy to help jumpstart my career in QA. The course was really fun and informative! The teachers were always great at explaining the material and lending a helping hand when needed. After finishing the course, the career coaching is phenomenal. Your coach is always checking in and giving great tips on how to better look and find jobs!

Hands down, my biggest obstacle in trying to upskill myself for career training was that I wasn't able to quit my full-time job to do a program, and I really didn't want to give up every free waking moment of the free time I had because burnout is real. The fantastic thing about the careerist course is that it worked with my schedule. Classes were a couple of hours, a few evenings a week- homework was concise, meaningful, and had a direct impact on my skill building, and even the real-world external internship project works alongside family and a day job. They put a lot of emphasis on the career coach relationship, and for good reason. While you might be able to find resources to teach yourself how to write bug reports and test cases- there's so much more that Careerist does to get you that nuanced experience. Every single contact you'll have with careerist from instructors to advisors is all about "getting you the job" and instructors will call your attention to the fine details that will set you apart as a candidate in every single class.

Really good experience with careerist. Liked the length of each lesson and the ability to review your past work and work on areas that you need to improve upon.
