Careerist

I had the best experience while attending the school. I was going back-and-forth about entering in a Boot Camp. However, I’m glad I made a decision to go with my selection. They offer a lot of things that I didn’t see from other boot camps. They provide job search assistance, a mentorship an internship and more things that propel you forward in the new career that you are pursuing.  I couldn’t say enough about the great things that they provide not to mention the curriculum was easy to follow while being challenging as well.  Read less

I came across Careerist in 2019 but I did not join the bootcamp then. Then in 2021, I came across a Careerist ad on Facebook and joined right away. The trainers all work in the industry (many different courses are offered) so they share real life experiences. The classes are live and the live classes are recorded and available for all students, especially those who cannot join a live class and those who want to review the material later. Internship then follows after completing the course in order to gain first hand experience in the chosen career field. Finally, a mentor is assigned to every student, interview prep, LinkedIn prep and resume prep is provided. All the mentors are very knowledgeable in one's field of study. Tips on how to maximize chances of landing an interview for job seekers is provided. Job applicants can opt to use Job Application Services, if they prefer to pay for the course over time after landing a job. Continuous dedicated support is provided by a team that answers all the questions that job applicants may have as they interview for positions. This support is still available even after landing a job. 

The training provided is so good that when I landed a job after the training, the recruiter bumped my pay in the very first interview that I had with her. I later discovered that that was the top pay for the position. 

I recommend Careerist to anyone looking for training that is provided by a dedicated team that wants you to succeed and one that walks with you, hand in hand, until you land a job and after. Careerist changed my life.  Read less

I recently attended a this boot camp and I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my career. From start to finish, the boot camp exceeded my expectations in every way.


First of all, the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in the tech industry. They were patient, kind, and always willing to answer questions and help students understand challenging concepts. They also made the learning experience fun and engaging, which helped to keep me motivated throughout the program.


The curriculum was also top-notch. It was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics in depth, from coding languages to software development methodologies. Another thing that impressed me about the boot camp was the sense of community it fostered. The staff and students were all supportive of one another and eager to help each other succeed. The boot camp also provided ample opportunities for networking and connecting with professionals in the tech industry.


Overall, I would highly recommend this tech boot camp to anyone looking to break into the tech industry or advance their career in tech. It's a challenging and intensive program, but the rewards are more than worth it. Thank you to the staff, instructors and my classmates for a fantastic experience! Read less

I have attended their Manual QA course and I can say that from beginning to finish they do a great job. They are always there to help and are very informative. I am happy that I have taken that course and now looking for a job of course they are helping me during my job search too.  Read less

I have finished the course work, and internships. Staff are pleasant, helpful, and don’t make you feel like your dumb. I love the the class is recorded so that you can always go back to it. I hate that my class was so big though it was over 100 ppl. The internship was ok. I wish I had more problem solving situations but I did learn a lot and meant great people. I am now at the mentor stage and soon onto my new job. Read less

When I first heard about Careerist, I knew this was the career path for me. Not being current on tech, I had my husband, who teaches Computer Science at a college level, review the Careerist website. He told me that it would be a good opportunity and experience. 

After signing up, I found that being able to watch the lessons on your own schedule & pace was so helpful, not to mention being able to go back and rewatch them to fill in any blanks. This has been an easy course that is completed within a short amount of time, which fits my needs very well. Once the training has been completed, you jump right in to the internship, one internal, one external.  The hands-on experience with real companies and daily stand-up meetings has been practical experience that boosted my confidence greatly in my ability to be successful in a job from the start. I received great instruction and feedback from the Leads on test cases and bug reports, which helped me improve the quality of my work quickly.

It would help if the instructors would read the questions from the chat messages very clearly. You can only get the gist of what the question is and fully understanding the answer if they do that, as you can't see the chat in the lesson replays. It would have been good to get hands-on experience with other aspects of manual QA like API and ChromeDev Tools.
 
I am very much looking forward to working with my mentor and the job preparation and search process in a week or so. Read less

I am currently a student at Careerist and at first I did not know what to expect from a program that is tailored specifically for the Sales Engineer role. But as I move through the course I find myself more motivated and confident in my ability to fill this role in tech. The information that is being given is priceless, from real industry professionals with 20 plus years in the industry. They are giving you real life tidbits you can use to stand out in the application/interview process. These are the things that you can not learn in a book or on Youtube. Being able to interact and ask questions to the instructors as well as your 1:1 mentor assures that you receive the help and answers you need.  Read less

This was a great learning experience and my mentor was wonderfully helpful with any problems I encountered along the way.

Just an awesome program in my opinion. Read less
