Careerist

I completed the manual testing program and was very satisfied. Careerist has a convenient platform for classes, and managers promptly answered any questions I had. Overall, I had few questions about the program because it is structured in a way that everything becomes clear during the lecture. There are also free additional lessons if you want to delve deeper into a particular topic. I also like that there are tests and summaries available for use. Read less

As someone who came from learning to code prior, I found Careerist advertised to me as I was curious about QA in software engineering. I'm honestly glad I chose Careerist and this course as I realized that this is what I want to do for work and I loved learning about how QA works and kind of the behind the scenes of how apps and programs get released and created. There is so much that goes into QA engineering and I really enjoyed learning from the instructors and getting the help when I needed it. Having the classes scheduled each week was best for my learning style and helped with accountability to keep studying and getting homework done. If you are interested in coding and learning about software QA, I would recommend this course. You even get help with LinkedIn, resume prep, and interview prep as well. Read less

I enjoyed connecting with my classmates outside of class the most. Whether we were practicing our final demo’s with each other, answering each others questions, or just chopping it up. I also enjoyed the classes and my instructor’s. They taught me a lot of valuable information that I will carry with me throughout my Tech Career.  Read less

Careerist is a comprehensive boot camp that introduces you to the many avenues of technology. I learned the terminology, and application processes and, most importantly had the opportunity to run a demo. I loved my experience in the learning phase but know it's not over yet! I am excited to see what happens during the internship phase but so far the support from your cohort and mentors is superb. I'd definitely recommend 10/10! Read less

Careerist's Sales Engineering and Tech Sales training has been truly transformative over the past six weeks. From initially knowing little about the tech industry to now feeling incredibly confident in my abilities to excel in tech sales, the program has exceeded my expectations. Through hands-on learning, mentorship from industry experts, and collaborative workshops, I've gained practical skills and knowledge that I can immediately apply in real-world scenarios. The supportive environment provided by Careerist has been instrumental in my growth, allowing me to thrive and learn from my peers.

I highly recommend Careerist's Sales Engineering and Tech Sales training to anyone seeking to advance their career in the tech industry, or if you're just simply starting from scratch like I did.

Careerist has helped continue my professional education in the UI/UX design industry. It enabled me to increase my skills and confidence in areas that I felt were lacking in order for me to pursue better job opportunities. I have finished the first part of the course and am about to start the internship where we break off into groups and work under a professional design lead for a real company. I'm very excited to work in a group and on a real client. I am impressed by all of the instructors who are industry professionals and excel in their areas of design expertise. I feel like I've learned a lot, and am motivated to continue my professional career.  Read less

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😂 Read less

Careerist has already changed my life for the better! I have amazing teachers, mentors and coaches. Everyone has been very supportive throughout the whole journey. I am at the end of my Manual Qa course, but I can't wait to start my QA Automation course next. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting a better job, higher pay, or better career, to try Careerist. It has truly been life changing! Read less

I will tell anyone who asks me how happy I have been with my choice of program through Careerist to train as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer. My experience to this point right up to my "real world" internship and entry into the job market has been absolutely 100% what the webinar about the program promised. 

Here's some bullet points to keep the affirmation precise: 

• It was a fast track into the tech field. The entire Manual QA course is paced to get you in and out ready for a fresh job search in your new industry in 3 months flat. 
• Accessible with zero technical background. If you can handle your PC and mobile phone comfortably, you can learn the material and perform the functions of the work by course end. No bull. 
• Cost was fair, given the nature of the services offered for your career pivot. It's cheaper if you pay up front but they got me hooked up with financing under my good to fair credit through a third party. This actually made the program attainable for me to complete with for the cost of one nice dinner a month as a start. (And isn't getting started always the hardest part of a major life change?)
• Value is excellent. Career counseling resume and linkedin optimization services included in your program alone is worth the price of admission. 
• It was manageable to not only "keep up" but be on time and comfortably paced around a full time job and a family life. This was my biggest concern about full time college or a night school program in general, if I would run myself to death trying to spin all the plates without dropping any.
• The instructors were varied, pros in their field and all offered a unique and valuable perspective into our new field based on their actual experiences. While all of them were excellent guides, I worked the most closely with the instructor for my group's internal internship; Viktoriia Simak. I found her teaching style to be perfect for this type of material where the requirements for each assignment were clearly laid out, and she would communicate revisions needed to bring your work up to professional levels, and where you could improve to make it even better. Where I was unsure if I could master the nuances of the typical industry practices to be at a fully professional level by course end, Viktoriia not only made sure I was, she gave me the confidence that I was too. 
  
  Can you teach yourself tech skills online? Yes. But the careerist program will answer your questions, get you hands on experience, give you confidence in your competence, and help open those doors to actually land the job.

The instructors are great, patient and full of the appropriate knowledge to help you learn efficiently. I had a great experience learning, taking quizzes, reviewing, and working with many different software. They care about your success and are dedicated to helping you learn the required information to find a long lasting career. Read less

I’d been wanting to get a job in IT for a while, but I didn’t quite understand what to start with, since they all ask for at least some experience and knowledge. A friend of mine told me about Careerist and I thought that it was worth a try, and I’m glad I did! True, the education process was fast paced and rather difficult, and finding a job was too. Anyway, it was all worth it. Now I can enjoy working from home, from anywhere really, and my salary is about 50% more than it was at my old job… Read less

I took Manual Qa class from Careerist. Advisor promised me that if I don’t get job within 30 days after I finish the course ,I would get 100% money-back guarantee. I finished my course on time and they couldn’t find me job interview so I called the customer service to request money back but it got denied saying the advisor was wrong 😑. Stay away big fraud  Read less

I'll always recommend this program, it literally helped me get into the tech bubble. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, the materials are detailed and self-explanatory. The experience I got during the internship afterward was beneficial. My mentor was quite responsive and prepared me well for my interviews. After applying for jobs, with the help of JAS, I was able to ace most of my interviews and secured three offers at the end of three months. Enjoyed every bit of the experience.  Read less

I am regretting attending Careerist instead of another boot camp. The program guarantees that one can break into tech with no prior sales or tech experience needed. Moreover, it guarantees 1:1 mentorship, specifically to improve my resume and practice mock job interviews. As of today, even after Graduation on March 3rd, these guarantees have not been delivered. I have been assigned to Aigerim Yerzhan as my mentor. In attempting to schedule a meeting with this mentor, I noticed that her availability will be either between the hours of 12 am-5 am or 10 pm - 11:30 pm CST. These hours are not conducive to my schedule. Nevertheless, I went ahead and scheduled an initial meeting on February 3, 2023, to discuss Careerist and what I can expect with mentorship. During our meeting, I asked very specific questions about how we will proceed, and how my resume should be curtailed for the Sales Engineering position, and Aigerism could not answer the questions. All she kept communicating to me is to send her my resume and never addressed my concerns. At the conclusion of our call, I did not feel confident that she could adequately assist me because she never answered my questions. On your website, it states that Careerist has qualified mentors. My experience with Aigerim does not prove that she is a qualified mentor. Then, on March 7, I had a demo + interview session with Farhan Awan. During this session, he stated that I did a bad job with my demo. He did not give me any constructive criticism as to how I can improve my demo. Additionally, during the interview portion of the session, he was critical of my answers; his body language was coming across as negative to me with Farhan constantly shaking his head from side to side and rolling his eyes, indicating disagreement or disapproval. He offered very minimal tips for improving my interview techniques. At the end of our session, I left feeling less confident, not encouraged, and more so, I felt penalized and was put in a place of judgment for my responses. Before this demo session, we never received any practical hands-on training in the classroom to successfully prepare and complete a good demo and ace a tech industry interview. Once more, my experience with Farhan does not prove that he is a qualified mentor. I found Farhan rude, dismissive, and distressing. I, now realize that the current structure and personnel of the Careerist Sales Engineering program is not the same as when Cyrus Harbin went through the Curriculum. He received hands-on interviews and demo practice in the classroom to successfully ace his interviews. That is how he was able to confidently pivot into tech, and that's why he recommends Careerist to his 100,000+ followers on social media. I feel that after my financial and time investment into Careerist, I have not acquired the adequate training and skills to become a Sales Engineer. I am left to seek other avenues and boot camps to learn how to demo, learn to interview successfully, learn how to optimize my LinkedIn and resume, and learn to effectively seek a Sales Engineering position.I am highly disappointed with my financial investment and time in the Careerist program. Since starting this program, I have not received an adequate return on my investment. I have connected with other former students who encountered similar experiences to mine, and they have enrolled in other boot camps and as a result, now have jobs in the tech industry. My hope that in the future is that Careerist will address these issues and really deliver on their training's guarantees. At this moment, I am asking for a full refund of my investment. The course lacks structure. The instructors pretty much read from the slides every night and do not prepare you adequately for the demo and job interview that you must pass in order to successfully pivot into tech. The Careerist program is a scam. The internship is a joke. It is just you calling potential students to get them to sign up for Careerist.  During the internship, they do not train you with any technical skills to be a Sales Engineer or to do a successful demo presentation. There are so many students that I have spoken with that have graduated from Careerist, and have not found jobs as Sales Engineer. They, like myself, wish we could get our money back.   Read less

I recently graduated from a course for the Manual Quality Assurance Analyst role at Careerist, and I was really pleased with how well it was taught. 
The course material was well-organized and simple to follow, and the instructor was knowledgeable and interesting. 
In addition, there were many chances for discussion and feedback throughout the course also the mentors have your full support in terms of helping you after graduation in applying to a Job and guiding you through the path. 
The training was a huge assist in preparing me for my career aspirations, in my opinion. Anyone trying to further their career should definitely check out Careerist, in my opinion. Read less

If you are looking to break into tech, Careerist is the place to go. I just completed the Manual QA. It was challenging but very informative and rewarding. I land a job very quickly with the tools from the program.  You receive support from anyone of the Careerist mentors and it was also great meeting people who are learning along with me.  Read less
