Good entry point into tech

Careerist teachers know how to deal with students who can’t write a single line of code. They dole out the information in small doses. When they share a fact they always explain why it’s like that and how you can deal with it. I appreciate it! Besides, they talk a lot about the ins and outs of recruiting in the tech industry. I feel like I’m ready for my first job interview, but let me graduate first.

My mentor convinced me I’m not hopeless

I wanted to break into data analytics… In the 2nd month of the course I felt like it might not be for me. I was among the worst-performing students and I even thought about giving up. But first I asked the teachers for help and they held several extra consultations with me so I could catch up with the others. Later I felt inspired and motivated again, and my performance improved too. I’m really grateful for such support!

A Life Changing Experience

I've stumbled upon an email I've received from Careerist and considered attending the free little zoom meeting just to learn a more at least,i wasn't thinking much of it,but the zoom call got me kinda exicted but from past experiences in previous companies training me- I just knew this feeling would eventually fade,but I decided to try it out anyways,But actually right now I'm going through my last few bits of training before starting my Career search and that excitement I've had from the beginning has only grew bigger and I've truly enjoyed every part of my experience with Careerist. If you've been thinking about it and are interested,DO IT! But 1st try the free course and just to make sure it's for you, if so come back and take advantage of this 50% OFF https://crst.co/KANDERSO-979DC86E This is all coming from someone that did not do great in school,but here I've seriously never been so excited for class😂

Possible to learn

It is broken down so you are able to learn and apply what you have learned. If you stick with it you’ll understand it. Didn’t really like how it was always different instructors some were better at teaching than others. The internship helped to learn alot because it’s hands on it can be overwhelming sometimes but it’s doable. Overall I liked it no complaints

Don’t skip classes and the rest will be fine

The biggest mistake I made was skipping online classes. 😬 I had no tech experience and I took the QA bundle. I struggled to catch up with the rest of the group. When I put more effort into my studies I began to perform much better. The teachers were super helpful. They explained both the tech part and the career part in detail. They were always patient and positive. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to study diligently.

Currently looking for a job

I had my ups and downs during my studies. Some things weren’t easy to understand. Sometimes I didn’t have enough time because I also work full-time. I wish the teachers and career coaches could spend more time with me... Anyway, I’m happy that I graduated and learned so much useful info! For now I’ve had only one job interview and they didn’t hire me. I’m staying optimistic and keeping on searching!

Positive impressions only

I’ve been studying systems engineering for 2 months and my perception of this occupation has changed considerably… It turned out to be more difficult and exciting than I imagined. They say that generally people study 6-8 hours per week on this course, but for me it takes around 10 hours because I want to memorize every single detail and I practice a lot on my own. Hopefully I will keep enjoying it until graduation.

I wish I had joined Careerist earlier

I began to think about online tech courses two years ago. First I lacked money and then I wasn’t sure which course to choose. Now I’m about to complete the Systems Engineering course at Careerist. I haven’t found a job yet but I’ve talked to graduates who are employed and they inspire me. Career coaching is so comprehensive so I’m not too worried about the job search.

Career coaching was the best part

I haven't worked for the last 10 years because I have small kids and I had no technical background, so I was quite nervous at the beginning of the course. Surprisingly the tech part of the studies was the easiest for me. I enjoyed doing the tasks and receiving feedback! The instructors said I was a quick learner, :) but I felt a bit insecure because I didn't know how to deal with employers. My career coach helped me a lot, she was absolutely brilliant! She explained everything to me and I rehearsed the interview. Now it’s time to start looking for a job.

Got a job thanks to Careerist

I learned manual QA just for fun. I collected a portfolio and began to apply for jobs but no one wanted me! I asked the employers for feedback but nobody replied. ☹️ So then I enrolled for the course. At careerist, they explained what I did wrong. I finally got a job two weeks before graduation. I think I was the first person in my group who got hired!!

Got one job offer and still looking

I completed the manual QA course. I graduated three weeks ago and now I’m actively looking for a job. I use jas, linkedin and job boards. I had two interviews (one from jas and the other from linkedin) and one job offer. A startup almost hired me but they wanted me to work remotely and I don’t feel 100% confident for that yet… I want a hybrid job so that I can watch how more experienced testers work. So I had to decline their offer. Some might say I’m reckless but I’m not in a hurry and I want to find the perfect job.

I’m 42 y.o. and I had only one non-tech job in my life.

I joined the manual QA course to start a new life. Recently I’ve completed it. I found the course structure well-paced and the content comprehensive. The instructors' clear expertise and real-world examples truly helped me grasp the concepts. While a tad challenging at times, the course has significantly boosted my confidence in QA testing. It's never too late to learn, and this course proves that.

I’ve been working as a manual tester for nearly three years, so I understand this job a bit.

To expand my career opportunities, I completed the QA Automation course at Careerist. Probably, I could have learned some things on my own. But it’s always great to get advice from experienced tech pros. Plus, I got a formal certificate, which is essential for some companies that I’d like to apply to.

I chose Careerist over other the six platforms that I considered.

First, I made a spreadsheet where I compared all the options. Then, I got in touch with the teams of all the platforms to assess how they communicate and answer questions. In the final standings, Careerist scored two points higher than the runner-up. I’m halfway through the UX course now and I don’t regret my choice at all.

Great way to start your tech career!

Right now I’m in the internship program, and I have nothing but great things to say about careerist ! The instructors are well educated and great at explaining what we are doing as a Manual QA. I’ll leave another review once I land that tech job!

I studied Sales Engineering at Careerist and it was the first online course that I completed.

 I felt nervous in the beginning. But in the second week already, I felt that the process was completely under control! I loved the pace of my studies and the commitment of the teachers. It was a valuable experience and I greatly appreciated career advice.
