Has changed my life!
I'm not going to lie, when I signed up for Careerist Manual QA Bootcamp, I was initially skeptical. Not necessarily of the program itself, but I wasn't sure what to make of an IT bootcamp. I kept feeling like this was too good to be true. I was coming from over 15 years of consumer electronics/ sales and I needed to make a change and I was looking for something that will allow me to workin IT without knowing coding, give me the flexibility of working from home and pay me more money to be...I'm not going to lie, when I signed up for Careerist Manual QA Bootcamp, I was initially skeptical.

I was coming from over 15 years of consumer electronics/ sales and I needed to make a change and I was looking for something that will allow me to workin IT without knowing coding, give me the flexibility of working from home and pay me more money to better provide for my family. I am here to say not only did Careerist give me the tools to be successful, but I was able to graduate, land a great job and make more money than I ever have previously with other jobs. I sincerely believe if you just follow the system Careerist places in front of you, you will eventually get a job. I am now and forever grateful for Careerist.

Should have done more research before I applied...
If you have excess money to throw around, it's a nice experience. Otherwise, it's not worth it.
There is a mismatch between what Careerist tells their students and the reality. They say there are SO MANY JOBS out there, you can make a LOT of MONEY, and you don't need to know how to CODE.
The reality is, most companies are looking for Automation Engineers. How do you possibly stand out with less than a year experience of just Manual QA? (Sure, they probably want you to continue ...If you have excess money to throw around, it's a nice experience. Otherwise, it's not worth it.

One thing I felt very sketchy about them is that the mentors encourages you to lie on your resume, which made me feel very uncomfortable. Even though I only had 3 weeks of internship, the resume created for me shows 9 months. Skills such as Postman API (which requires knowledge of JavaScript) and MySQL are listed, which I barely have.
I have no intention of learning how to code.
As far as the classes go, I was expecting an organized college-like lecture but it was more DIY, at-home, casual feel. One instructor excused herself a few times during class to deal with something or someone. You can get much better quality lectures at Coursera or Udemy.
Oh how I wish I could get my money back but they require you to submit 95 job applications a week to qualify.
You will NOT see 95 Manual QA jobs available each week!! Unless I'm supposed to be looking world wide?? - Elijah TysonGraduate • Sales Engineering bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
This program was one of the WORST decisions of 2022 I made.
Where do I even start... So I joined Careerist as an Entrepreneur looking to leverage a Sales Engineering position to help me re-adjust my lifestyle and grow my business. I was already well-versed in sales and sales cycles. But I felt I could get some competitive edge with the technical side. Before I joined the Course I did my due diligence and saw mixed reviews on the depth of technical information the course gives. So I was on the fence until I heard from one of their main affiliates ...Where do I even start... So I joined Careerist as an Entrepreneur looking to leverage a Sales Engineering position to help me re-adjust my lifestyle and grow my business. I was already well-versed in sales and sales cycles. But I felt I could get some competitive edge with the technical side. Before I joined the Course I did my due diligence and saw mixed reviews on the depth of technical information the course gives. So I was on the fence until I heard from one of their main affiliates on social media that Careerist applies for 5 jobs a day for you after you graduate from the program until you get placed in a job.
So at this point, I figured "you know what, at minimum, they will be able to aid me with Job applications when I graduate from the program." I went as to ask the Advisor the enrolled me very specifically "And just so I am clear, Careerist does apply for jobs FOR ME after graduation correct?" And of course, he said yes they would get me to enroll.
Fast forward, this has been the ABSOLUTE WORST course experience I've had (And I've invested in plenty of Coaching & Mentorships.) The course was literally textbook technical information, the instruction was absolutely unorganized and even unprofessional, and just to put the cherry on top, they are now telling me I have to pay to get the "automated version" of their Job Application Service! I have reached out to two program reps, and an advisor and called and got nowhere with the issue. They keep either ignoring me or telling me "I will take it to management and see what we can do" Just an absolute waste of time and experience.
I also want to bring up one more thing that I feel Careerist needs to be publicly addressed about. The cohort I came in (November 1st) was literally 5X the number of people from their previous cohort even though they said spots were limited. The reason being is that they had a Graduate from a cohort last year do very well. He essentially built a platform with his story about how he went from driving uber to making 200K+ in tech. Of course that created a large volume of demand and rightfully so.
BUT, here was where Careerist f'd up. They took on all these people PRIMARILY Black & Brown folks without hiring the necessary support needed to fulfill. They literally took advantage of my communities desire to be upward mobile and then F''d a bunch of people into income share contracts because they couldn't afford it. An overseas Company signing a bunch of Black & Brown Folks into predatory income-sharing contracts for their overpriced and underdelivering program? Sheesh! Talk about OPPRESSION.
Not that I am not at all worried about job placement for myself personally. I will probably get a job through my connections as I have a lot of friends in tech. I was way too overqualified to waste my time in this program and I do take responsibility for my own faulty decision to take a leap with this program.
However, I'm curious to see how they are going to keep their promises of Job placement to all of these students they recruited. There are a few people from my cohort taking legal action against this company as I've heard. I hope Careerist gets what they deserved. As a people-centered Entrepreneur, I am absolutely disgusted with these people.
But hey maybe someone from the program will finally reach out to address my concerns after the read this review...
All in all. This program was one of the worst decisions of 2022 I made.Farida of Careerist

Sales Engineer
This is My experience with Careerist and i would like to share it for anybody wants to make decision.
Sales Engineering in Careerist is nothing more than Sales Rep Training. For Sales Engineering, you need to have Technical background and they do not mention this at the time of admission. basically, they don't have any admission process. They only try to get more students no matter what is their qualification and are they a good fit for the sales Engineering position or not?

They only try to get more students no matter what is their qualification and are they a good fit for the sales Engineering position or not?
The way they teach and their Curriculum is only general concept and only good to know what is sales cycle is but you get only overall understanding nit much detail and not much you need to apply for jobs. They placement rate is based on their statement is less than 40% both sales and sales Engineering which is for 30 students in both class, you only have 10-12 people get job which is very low.
regarding mentorship, they dont know what is sales Engineering is, They only use Template resume and put some words in your Resume and when you tell them i dont know about these stuff, they say" no worries. the instructor will teach you" but honestly, the instructors did not talk about these terms at all.
Regarding their internship, unfortunately, they don't have anything for internship. they only give you a list of customers and ask you call them and honestly this is not the job of sales Engineer. its a sales Rep job and that's it. honestly, waste of time.
long story short, maybe they are good only in QA and collect reviews and not in sales and sales Engineering.
hope that helps for anyone want to join the class. and hope they can fix their problems.Max Glubochansky of Careerist

Dear Ray. I really appreciate you have shared your experience about Careerist school and let me comment it so that naturally if somebody would like to decide, they need to understand all things and processes right.
We really tend to have our house full for each of our course because this factor is important for the high level the students get at our school. Completeness of groups directly affects the financing of the educational process, and we strive to ensure that our students receive everything of the highest quality. We do not mention the necessity to have a technical background for our future Sales Engineers. We admit they do not need to be of a Technical background. We teach them to be during the course. We provide the sufficient knowledge for our alumni to be Sales Engineers. We assist them with placement in this profession. Sales Representative that you mention is a totally different profession. It's about the customer relationship, but not technical insight about deployment and implementation.
Our mentors are real superstars in the things they do to the students. If there's anything you do not know, and they address you to an instructor, you had to ask the instructor about your issue if you did not hear it during the curriculum. I can't comment on this very situation, because I do not know how was it. You might have missed it in the curriculum, or you missed asking the instructor as it were beyond curriculum.
Surprisingly, you landed a job as a Sales Rep after the Sales Engineering course. This job requires a completely different education than our Sales Engineering course. Good luck anyway!

Manual Software QA Program For A Beginner
I initially heard about Careerist from my good friends wife. She had taken the Manual QA Course, got a job, then went on to take the Automation course. She knew my situation at the time, that my fiancé and I were pregnant at the time, I was working an okay job, but I was really wanting a career so I could have a way to take care of my growing family.

She knew my situation at the time, that my fiancé and I were pregnant at the time, I was working an okay job, but I was really wanting a career so I could have a way to take care of my growing family. She told me about this online school, Careerist! She told me that it could help me land a well paying job like it did for her. I was still skeptical because she said how quickly it could all be completed in. It almost sounded too good to be true. But I figured you know what, what if I can pull it off?! What if I really could land a job on the computer where I could either work from home, in an office, or a combination of both?! I was super excited and went ahead and signed up. I was nervous, not knowing if I had what it takes. But I did it! The classes were great. All of them had a live person teaching the class that was already, or had previously been in the field of QA. They were always asking if we had questions, and when any of us did they would always make sure we understood before going on. And if someone still had an issue, they would say, email me after class, or email a mentor and we will help you understand. It was a lot of notes, and honestly it took me a little longer to complete the classes because I wrote so many notes and wanted to make sure I understood what I was being taught to the best of my abilities. After completing all my classes I even got to work on two projects (internships). One with the school, and one with a third party company. It really helped bring what we had learn in classes all together. Got us hands on with the programs and everything. It was a great experience. After that they taught me how to create a really good resume. A cover letter. And a LinkedIn profile! I also got to work with a career coach who goes over everything! Mine was Viktor Tsoy he is a great man. He never gave up on me and was always eager to see what I needed next to move me along the process of finding a job. They actually care at Careerist. They help prepare you for the interview. Help you learn how to present yourself not just to the interviewer, but to the recruiters as well. And they stick with you until you land a job! There are some really great people at Careerist. I'm very thankful for them! - TamarahQA Tester • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineFeb 11, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

From the very beginning, I was impressed by the structure and quality of the course. The lessons were clear, well-organized, and designed to progressively build my knowledge and skills in Software Quality Assurance.
The instructors were exceptional. They were not only experts in the field but also very open, passionate and dedicated during delivery. Careerist also offered invaluable career coaching and support in preparation for job search.
The hands-on internship component was the major highlight for me. It provided real-world experiences that solidified the concepts I was taught. I think that this practical exposure has given me the confidence I need to take on real SQA tasks. Drawbacks? Despite my initial concerns about the length and timing of the classes--being from the East Coast—the engaging nature of the classes made the long hours worth it. Overall, the Careerist bootcamp exceeded my expectations in every way. The supportive environment, combined with expert instruction and valuable practical experience, made for a truly enriching learning journey. I feel well-prepared to start my career in Software Quality Assurance. I have not yet started the final part of the program -actual Job Search-so I am unable to comment on that aspect at this time (I will return to do so at a future date). However, I am very optimistic and confident in my abilities due to the comprehensive training I’ve received.
