After dabbling for the past several years with different online free programs, I finally decided to take the plunge and sign up with Careerist. It's super challenging to learn tech on your own. I've always felt difficulty in moving past the basics and geeting a deeper understanding – so that I can apply my learning to real life sitautions. The material strikes a good balance between hand-holding and giving space to problem solve on my own. I love that I'm able to ask my mentor whenever I'm stuck. I am currently working through building my final Sales Engineer project. The mentors at Careerist really have gone above and beyond anything I'd expected to ensure I succeed.
I enrolled in the Sales Engineering Program for $3,250 in January 2023. The positives- the teachers are seasoned Sales Engineers and the other students are very nice. The cons- you will not have enough technical skills to get hired as an SE after completing their program. Please don't let social media stars tell you you will be able to; they were hired during the pandemic. The market is full of new SE's trying to find jobs. Back to Careerist- It is more like an intro SE course, but they don't tell you that. Careerist acts like you will be able to get an SE job right away when you have your first appointment/phone call to pay for the course. The course slides are not anything you can't Google or find on YouTube. There is no homework. Everyone passes the end of class mock interview and 5-10 minute student demo presentation. They pretend like you won't pass but you will. The non-tech "mentors" do not provide any tech insight and give wrong advice by asking you to lie on your resume saying you have skills that you do not. My Careerist group had 70+ people and not one of us have gotten an SE job in 4 months. I reached out to previous groups from the November and December cohorts and they haven't found SE jobs either. A handful of them have gotten jobs in Tech sales not SE. The price for the class is not worth it. They sell you a dream but you will NOT be able to get an SE job simply by taking the Careerist bootcamp even if you have a college degree. The contract they ask you to sign prevents you from suing them or filing a class action law-suit against them. Trust me we want to sue! They also use current Careerist students during the "internship" to sign up new students every cohort. They coach you on how to convince new students to sign up to pay. The internship did not teach us anything new that the classes did not. Dont go into debt to take this program. There are cheaper programs you can find and free resources on LinkedIn. Currently, Sales Engineers need hands-on experience of 3-5 years to get hired. This bootcamp will not be enough. I 100% wish I could get my money back.

I highly recommend the QA Automation course. Over time we had pieced together a process design approach through research, as well as trial and error. The tools, techniques and templates from the course allowed my team to take our approach and documentation to a whole new level. The course simplified and streamlined what had been perceived as a complicated process, saving us time and money in our redesign efforts. Stakeholders are better engaged and much more satisfied with the experience and results. I hold a good majority of the advanced ITIL certifications and having my Careerist knowledge before taking those classes would have helped me more quickly and effectively apply what I learned to our situation.
This is my first online course. I took the one of Sales Engineer. The instructor showed a vast knowledge of the subject and his passion for the technology world. Really helpful and informative, particularly found the whiteboard explanations and diagrams added value.
This is the real stuff, Сareerist! They significantly surpassed my expectations! The mentors, staff, faculty, and staff were all wonderful! The course material is brief and direct. Their goal is to assist you in finding employment, and they succeed. They actually provide grads with unmatched support. They give you the impression that they actually care about your achievement and make you feel supported personally. You will succeed if you are prepared to put in the time and effort. In the future, I'll come back for additional classes. Very strongly advised.
The UX Design course offers an easy-to-understand and engaging way for the learner to learn the basics of user experience. To understand design concepts and use them in design software, the training is beneficial. I would strongly suggest this program, especially if you are firmly on the path to IT career.
I had very little computer experience when I enrolled in the Systems Engineering course. I can attest that such a minimal degree of proficiency is sufficient to begin. The instructors are incredibly intelligent and meticulous. They instill psychological ease and self-assurance in everyone. It's equally crucial to demonstrating how to use different tools.
I started the course in February and I have been having full support from the team. After my internship, my mentor has been reaching out to me and making sure I am on track. Max has been reaching out and making sure my resume and everything else is set up correctly. I love this team, and they make you feel so welcome and they support you every step of the way. I still have questions about my career sometimes and when i reach out, they reply fast.
Overall I would recommend this program to everyone. They are truly involved with you every step of the way.
The team is amazing and supportive.

As someone that didn't study tech science, programming or any other related fields, the course was totally on the right level for me. The content were very easy to understand. The educational games were indeed helpful to understand what tech sales actually is. Also, learning about the experience of people working in the field helped me think about how much IT is involved in our lives.
I knew something had to change in my sales approach. Then I discovered Careerist and the Sales Engineer online course. I was early into my training and started seeing huge benefits by qualifying prospective clients earlier. I also became far more comfortable talking about budgets and decision making processes with prospects and clients. Plus what I was learning about customer referrals alone was worth its weight in gold. How I do business and who I do business with has me brimming with new possibilities. Thank you Careerist
Careerist will give you what you need in order to succeed. They are very helpful. I would say 95% of questions on the interview came from the study guide they will provide you with. I got my job within 4 months after graduation. I cannot say it was easy, but I cannot imagine doing it without the experience I got here. Well worth it, study hard, know your questions, google, YouTube and learn. There is a lot you have to learn on your own, Careerist will provide you with necessary info to get through the interview. Keep on going, don t give up!

I sincerely appreciate Careerist's career services. The support staff was responsive and the professors were top-notch. My career guide was amiable and knowledgable, and the internship was a fantastic practical learning experience. I successfully made the switch to being a QA Automation Engineer with their help. I advise anyone looking for excellent education and career support to check out Careerist.
Facing little difficulty in due to language and the captions are fixed on bottom. So unable to read screen and captions at the same time in video at various points.
I finished this school Sales Engineer course 1 year ago. It's like any school, the hands on experience is constantly improving and more is being offered. But let me tell you what this school really offers: ITS A SUPPORT SYSTEM I am about to finish my associates degree at the age of 35. I've had a very non-traditional and abusive upbringing… mentally I am not made for traditional schools… not to mention right before I enrolled, I lost my husband and gave birth to our child. The time I studied there has not been any easier, (and neither have I,) but they still worked with me, and even calm me down when it's really not their job. They kept me going when I wanted to quit. I hands down was not afraid of how I am going to support my child for his life BECAUSE of this school. I got so much more than an education. Yes it expensive but you honestly get more than what you pay for.
I registered for the QA Automation course in order to enhance my employability by learning an industry popular profession. I aim to have a career in IT therefore being more employable and competitive is my goal. This course provides a good introduction to the QA and I enjoyed going through the tutorials. Moreover I got to learn in a step-by-step way so it was relatively easy to use. I found that having video and downloadable solutions really helped in my learning.
I enjoyed this course thoroughly. The learning process was really simple and clear. Everyone can start and excel at this, after all. You can benefit from the best knowledge, best practices, and most importantly, everything is current, thanks to this course and these experts. Every resource and teacher are from this era. They provide you the information that is current for today because everyone is still employed in this position. You should just start, in my opinion, and have faith in me. You won't be disappointed, I can assure you of that!
Excellent Manual QA course that taught the basics and fundamentals of testing. The course provided an overview of the various types of testing to be done, and especially on the unit testing in which we can identify more defects. An interesting topic taught by professionals in the industry who had excellent knowledge of the topic. The internship was also helpful. You could exchange the ideas, seek clarification, and proceed further. This course gave me a clear ground-level understanding of software testing concepts and other concepts.

Excellent theory about Testing software while practicing with very good tools. This course is very interesting and very useful for the work of a tester. Recommended!
Do not waste your time. When I start this class it was named Jobeasy and now they have changed the company name to Careerist. I have been looking for a job for 3 years and haven't got one yet. Because they have written on my resume 3 years of QA experience but that company is not real. See attached their massage. They don't want to know any student that they are giving fake company names on their resume.
Tip for consumers:
Max told me that he will be giving me a refund if I try one more time he said I need to follow and I did but now he said we not providing a refund. So he changed his mind after he did not successful

The QA course has been fantastic for me. The lecturers were all excellent and very supportive. Personally, I picked up a lot of new knowledge, and my interest in the technology sector has grown.
Because there are so many of them and they all teach the same skills, I used to be wary of taking any online courses. Real success stories of teachers and graduates are what matter to me. Career-oriented grads work for tech behemoths like Amazon or Meta. Teachers are also active professionals today! This is the reason I choose Careerist. The funniest thing now is... I chose to accept a job offer from a startup after I finished because the terms were so excellent compared to those from a big behemoth.
I took the Systems Engineering course with Careerist and think my experience was unique. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I am very pleased with this format. The instructors were very knowledgeable, all the concepts were clearly explained and the corresponding assignments were useful to understand and implement the learned concepts. With this course, I was able to find my first job in IT field a few months after graduating. I would definitely recommend Careerist school to others.
Computers were always something I knew of, but never knew how to do. The Tech Support course was a definite challenge but the encouraging staff and professional instructors made it possible to accomplish more than I ever thought possible. I've acquired important IT certifications and a new confidence in my abilities through program at Careerist. My new job at Tech Support Center is a direct result of attending Careerist. I am also pursuing other computer related job opportunities through friends that I've met during training.
I graduated from Manual QA course at Careerist. I can confidently say that this program has built carefully designed to give a very comprehensive introduction to software testing skills and techniques, as well as the professional skills needed for anyone thinking of transitioning into a new career. Using concepts learned throughout the coursework coupled with great support from my mentors and counselors, I was able to learn about many aspects of software testing.
I find that taking classes in an accessible manner with accompanying readings and videos really helps me to comprehend the material in-depth. I have a pretty excellent impression of the external IT market. Instead than only receiving lectures, I was exposed to installing various tools, and I really liked that. It helped me become more confidence in my ability to use the tools to do my work.
