My experience with careerist.
My experience with careerist was awesome. It is an online course, but the course is flexible for those that have a job. There is always help if you needed like, 1 on 1 sessions. They offer an internship and career coaching. It does require patience and motivation but its worth it.

Great Resources and Support for Success
I completed this 10-week course as part of a career transition from hardware Quality Assurance into manual software QA testing, and it played a major role in helping me make that change successfully.
I previously worked in highly regulated industries including nuclear, aerospace, and defense. While that experience gave me a strong quality foundation, I struggled to find remote roles in those fields. I decided to pivot into software QA to gain more flexibility and long-term opportunities.
I started the course at the end of July and secured a software QA role by December. Beyond the technical training, the coaching component was one of the most valuable parts of the course. The support around resumes, interviewing, and how to present my background for software roles made a huge difference. The interview coaching helped me clearly explain my experience, answer questions with confidence, and understand what hiring managers are actually looking for in QA candidates.
The course focused on practical, real-world manual testing skills and helped me translate my existing quality experience into software tools, language, and workflows. Having a strong quality background helped me move faster, but the structure, coaching, and accountability were what really helped me succeed in interviews and land a role.
Overall, I am very grateful for the experience. If you are coming from hardware, manufacturing, or another regulated industry and want to move into software QA, especially into a remote role, I would strongly recommend this course.

I have been in careerist bootcamp since…
I have been in careerist bootcamp since September and I really feel and think, this is one of the best decisions I have made. I had my doubts about going back to school or any bootcamp due to fear or thinking I couldn't do it nor afford it. Thanks to Careerist it all was and is possible, they have an affordable bootcamp with different payment options or plans, it's not crazy priced, the instructors they have is very knowledgeable. They have a well-designed program for the people who have full time jobs, family and it is self-paced also which, makes it great for people with busy lives. the mentors, instructors, and the careerist staff is amazing and informative and responsive. if you have any problems, need help, or guidance they are available and ready to help. Thanks Careerist!!!

A Valuable and Rewarding QA Learning Experience
This program was truly amazing. As someone who was interested in starting a career in tech but wasn’t sure where I would fit, the QA Software Engineering course and internship were incredibly helpful. The instructors were very responsive, and my QA lead, Max, was especially supportive throughout the entire process. I learned so much and gained hands-on experience that I was initially nervous I wouldn’t get. Overall, it was absolutely worth it. Thank you, Careerist!
