Everything you need to know for Manual QA
I was very happy with the course instruction, materials, internship, and mentorship that fast tracked on the path to Manual QA. I feel prepared not only for the career but also the aggressive job hunt. I feel prepared both in theory and in practice. Highly recommend - Ainsworth Kelton GardnerManual QA • Student • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Had a great learning experience!
I had a wonderful experience learning about Manual QA, my team lead was incredibly patient with me and help me learn everything that I needed to know throughout the internship! I had a really flexible schedule and was able to balance my day job and the internship with little to no hassle. The meetings were very informative and coherent, I understood all the information provided to me and would highly recommend anyone interested in this course to try it out for yourself! - Isaac JohnsonGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good way to pivot into Tech!
Overall I really enjoyed my experience with Careerist. I work full-time during the day and needed courses that would be flexible enough to work around my schedule. The Careerist classes were 3 days a week and in the evenings, which worked perfectly for me. Also, each class is recorded, so its easy to watch the recorded classes if you miss a day. The instructors are all knowledgeable and good at explaining the material and answering questions students leave in the chat.

The instructors are all knowledgeable and good at explaining the material and answering questions students leave in the chat. The pre-internship and internship after passing the classes provide excellent real-world experience for what you will actually be doing on the job. After successfully completing the internships, you are assigned a mentor to assist with your resume, LinkedIn profile and job search, which is very helpful. The JAS (Job Application System) is semi-automated and comes in handy with applying for jobs. Unfortunately, the fully automated version is currently not available. It may possibly come back but I am not sure. The only minor complaint that I have is that you do not get any kind of certificate of completion from Careerist. That would be nice. But overall, for under $5,000, Careerist is a great option if you are looking to pivot into Tech without accumulating massive debt going to a traditional College or University. - Henrick NeuwirthQA Software Engineer • Student • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Anna is awesome!
We finished the first phase of our internship projects recently with the help and guidance of Anna. She was very kind, courteous, and knowledgeable to me and the rest of the students. I had issues with my computer, then my internet, and she was nothing but patient and helpful the entire way. Five stars one hundred percent! - AlenaGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
It's working
I purchased Manual QA course in July 2022, paid in full upfront. I didn't feel rushed or pressured by a salesperson. Course itself consists of 19 real-time lessons from different teachers. Some felt to me like they shouldn't be teaching, very monotonous and boring, but majority were great tutors, field pros with real experience, they were open to questions and feedback throughout the course. Overall the lessons part is pretty straightforward and simple, mostly theoretical, and...I purchased Manual QA course in July 2022, paid in full upfront. I didn't feel rushed or pressured by a salesperson. Course itself consists of 19 real-time lessons from different teachers. Some felt to me like they shouldn't be teaching, very monotonous and boring, but majority were great tutors, field pros with real experience, they were open to questions and feedback throughout the course. Overall the lessons part is pretty straightforward and simple, mostly theoretical, and few classes about field and interview preparation. Internship. After you are done with classes you are joining the internship, curated by QA Lead. I've had 4 of those projects, each one to two weeks long. Everyday you are joining stand-up zoom meetings, discussing your projects, homework etc. This is meant to imitate real life work, and I've got some useful hands-on experience on how to use QA instruments and what are some common techniques. Most of QA leads I've interacted with were wery responsive and helpful, some projects were a bit messy and disorganized.Mentorship. I gotta say, this is the part where I've learn the most. You can learn theory on Udemy or youtube, but no one will tell you as much as their mentors on how to pass the interview, how to behave, how to properly structure your resume and approach, and so many useful insights about the industry. It is definitely not easy to get a job, but if you put enough effort and follow their advises, you'll land one sooner or later. The course itself is not flawless, but mentorship is balancing out all the imperfections. I'm seeing tens of their graduated getting hired each month, so it is working! - Ken PowersStudent • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fantastic Experience!!
From the time I spoke with an advisor at Careerist.com, to enrolling in the Manual QA program, to the instructors and lessons, to the online flexibility, all the way through the internship and mentorship, it has truly been an amazing experience. They give you the tools you will need to confidently tackle any interview after the program is over. I highly recommend Careerist.com if you are looking to break into Software Quality Assurance!! - Timothy BennettGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I took a leap of faith with this course and I think it proved to be a good one. The staff is so willing to help at any turn and are awesome with providing effective feedback. The course was fun, informative and I believe that it set me up for my future in the tech field. I strongly recommend if you are looking to break into a career in the tech industry. - Ruslan UrunovManual QA • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
It was interesting and informative
In general, the course of study was not bad. One inconvenience was this because of the time difference. The class ended too late because I had to get up for work at 3 am and the class ended at 11 рm. The teachers explained the topic quite well and in detail, and then checked the work done, correcting mistakes and guiding them in the right direction. - Ahmad ShehadehSoftware QA Engineer • Graduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineApr 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Worth it!!
Coming into these courses I was skeptical, because I tried many other courses that made a whole list of promises but in the end never met any of them. The biggest thing I learned about this school is that they deliver what they promise. The lessons are easy to understand, the teachers answer any questions you may have, in fact they encourage it. At the end of the course they help you with building résumés and LinkedIn account so you’d have the best chance of finding a job.
