Happy and satisfied
March 15, 2023

I was in the retail industry for about 10 years and had very little or practically no IT experience. One day I decided to take a huge risk by leaving to start a new venture in life and going back to school to satisfy a new found passion for technology. A Career Advisor from Careerist sat down with me and gave me a thorough explanation of the facility and suggested a training program which has helped many individuals before myself, successfully transition in to the IT field. After completing a 3 months Tech Support course, I am now working for the company's security department in the IT industry and find myself being happy and satisfied for taking the risk.

My passion for UX
March 15, 2023

Having done the UX Design course, it gave me confidence and sparked my passion for UX. I have now taken this knowledge and put it into place at my work and personal life in the form of building a website for my family business. The instructors were very knowledgeable and open to questions. They also had immense patience and great real-life examples. I am so happy to have been part of the course and to have met many wonderful people.

Careerist has a friendly, caring, and supportive staff. The instructors are knowledgeable, informative, and approachable. At Careerist, I experienced the strong sense of community amongst the administrative staff, the instructors, and the students. Because of this atmosphere, I've achieved my goals of obtaining the necessary knowledge and skills for an entry-level position in the IT field. Furthermore, due to the reputation of former students from Careerist working in the IT community, I was given opportunities to be interviewed for entry-level positions in the IT field. Today, I am currently working in the IT field and enjoying every aspect of it. Attending the Tech Support course was truly a blessing for me.

The Manual QA course is well organized and conducted, and memorable. It had thoughtful theories, models, many quality assessments and tests. The whole process was really interesting and engaging. The amount of provided help and confidence was tremendous. All these gave me strong support going forward in my career. I landed a position in an international company based in the US, working as a verification and validation engineer. I can honestly say that I applied the information I learned from the course everyday, and it made the early stages of the position so much easier. I really recommend the course to anyone thinking about a career in software quality assurance and testing.

Very helpful!
March 4, 2023

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 highly recommend their Sales Engineer course if one is interested in learning a high-level view of the selling process. I learned about selling frameworks, customer buying journey, deal qualification, developing value propositions, developing executive selling briefs, and winning the business strategies. One of the key takeaways is about helping your client obtain their goals in an ethical manner.

Better benefits
February 25, 2023

After finishing the QA Automation course at Careerist I started to seek my first Software Tester job. Let me tell you right away – it wasn't easy. I was sending my resume to companies across the nation and I got zero or formal response, so after a couple of months, I became quite unmotivated. Eventually, I set up a Linkedin account. After 3 days I got contacted by a recruiter, had an interview and in fact got my first commercial job in software development. So it took me 3 months to find my first job. I should add that I didn't accept that first tester job offer. I chose a job less related to testing because it had better benefits.

From the free webinar about the Sales Engineer course, I found value in tools and frameworks that can be applied in the job of tech sales engineer. Sales process is one of the key components for success almost in any industry. This clapurse has been very helpful to me in getting a good grasp of key frameworks, strategies, and concepts of consultative selling. I now have the confidence to engage with clients, and lead the sales process effectively for the company I currently work for.

Tech Support Course
February 9, 2023

Great introduction into Tech Support. The instructor was flexible with the course and was able to go into detail regarding the specific learning needed. The course did not feel rushed or pressured and there was no feeling of embarrassment if more help or explanation was needed.

Enjoyable experience
February 1, 2023

The Systems Engineering course was really informative, professional and in-depth. We went through a variety of areas within the subject. A great course to understand Systems Engineering from the very beginning. The instructor was talkative, engaging and an all-around brilliant expert. Attending over Microsoft Teams was an enjoyable experience and it did not take away from not being an in-person class. I learnt everything I would have expected to learn in-person.

Great calming effect
January 31, 2023

I finished the Careerist's Sales Engineer course and found a job in a month time. I immediately started applying some of the techniques from the course. One in particular had a great calming effect and I intend doing this at least twice a day, especially at times of overload. I have also started a new "to do" list which has instantly cleared my mind of all those things buzzing around it, which has had the same calming effect on me. Thank you!

I am very pleased
January 24, 2023

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.

It was great
January 23, 2023

Fabulous Tech Support course. So much material! It was great, but I now know how much more work we have left to do. The instructor has extensive, international CM knowledge and he taught the course as a true believer. His teaching style was relaxed but informative, and he showed respect for the experiences of his students.
