Highly Recommend this school
Their QA Manual is a joke. You can not get a job with that. There are more automation jobs in the market, and they just don't teach enough to get you a job.I am disappointed and wish I had tried automation but not here for sureFarida of Careerist

QA manual/automation
Hi
I've finished both courses about a year ago. Found a job shortly after completing the course. Of course I started with a manual course, 2 month later a found a great position at Intel
Then I decided that I want to grow as a specialist and completed automation course.
I am very grateful to this school for all the effort they put into students.

Excellent instructors who are attentive to students 24/7
Excellent instructors who are attentive to students 24/7. They will stay with you after class until you understand the material front to back. If you want a rigorous introduction to the world of QA, Careerist is the place to start. Put in the time, participate in class, and complete their assignments without looking for shortcuts. I stuck to that routine and secured a job within two weeks after the program ended.Max Glubochansky of Careerist

Income Share Agreement Trap
Don't do it! The tech sales course charges $1000 and presents talented and high-status businessmen as teachers to draw in students and give us a course with content as rudimentary as one can get from any Sales 101 Youtube series, promises closely guided career search counseling, but in practice, hires mentors that recommend lying about the student's work experience, offer only a resume template and added buzzwords and who also need to be reminded multiple times over weeks to turn on Job ...Don't do it! The tech sales course charges $1000 and presents talented and high-status businessmen as teachers to draw in students and give us a course with content as rudimentary as one can get from any Sales 101 Youtube series, promises closely guided career search counseling, but in practice, hires mentors that recommend lying about the student's work experience, offer only a resume template and added buzzwords and who also need to be reminded multiple times over weeks to turn on Job Application Services that only results in work opportunities from jobs totally unrelated from Tech Sales, like 100% commission pay structure insurance or door to door salesmen jobs. In the end, the student goes out, applies on their own and interviews daily for over a month, with sometimes multiple interviews per day yet no communication from the mentor, until the student lands a job on their own, and then is contractually obligated to pay up to $25,000 over the next 24 in-consecutive months of labor. Don't be so desperate for help because you won't find it here!Max Glubochansky of Careerist

Dear Mr. Carvalho, Sam. You are around a 50th in a row who is saying exactly what you have said here but in different media. Well, not word in word (like a resume template you mention above:) ), but the contents are generally the same: very poor level of aducation, fake resume and somehow a student lands a job on his own. Right into that fiels where he almost received a zero knowledge from Careerist, he/she finds a high paying job in tech. As soon as he/she starts get paid this high wages, he starts to invent how to escape his payouts under the ISA. So, the outcome from these stories is that you came to Careerist with no money and used the advantage of ISA, then got almost no education, tailored a fake resume as mentor requested, cheated the employer and got a job, think of cheating Careerist and not pay a penny because it does not cost it. Bingo! - Shelia RhodesGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMay 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Course on best practices
Overall I was pleased with the Manual QA course that I attended, which was held for seven weeks. Although I was already familiar with many of the topics, it was good to receive a refresher course on best practices. I do wish that there was more explanation of intermediate tactics in software testing. The course was worth the money.Max Glubochansky of Careerist

It has a lot information. I've worked as a blackbox mobile tester and I still found things that I wasn't aware of, which is great.

The course is built around preparing the students to pass the interview in addition to other useful stuff taught in the course like the tools.
