I attended this class and paid upfront for Manual QA and Automation QA and graduated from Manual QA back in October of 2020. The curriculum was pretty decent and instructors were as well. I did not get my return of investment in this class as companies want you to have over the top of knowledge from SQL, to JSON and React and this class didn't necessarily teach hands-on in all this extra material that companies demand. I did try and take the Automation QA class as I was persuaded to take...I attended this class and paid upfront for Manual QA and Automation QA and graduated from Manual QA back in October of 2020. The curriculum was pretty decent and instructors were as well. I did not get my return of investment in this class as companies want you to have over the top of knowledge from SQL, to JSON and React and this class didn't necessarily teach hands-on in all this extra material that companies demand. I did try and take the Automation QA class as I was persuaded to take it by a Careerist counselor but with taking the class, I did not understand it and couldn't have a 1 on 1 mentor to help me through the process of understanding it so I dropped the class after a couple of weeks of taking it. I have called and emailed for a partial refund but still haven't heard back regarding my request of a partial refund and so wouldn't recommend pursuing this class since they don't offer 1 on 1 mentorship which I thought they would/did prior to signing up and also they don't have companies affiliated with them either to give that extra help in getting a job. - Christian CastenadaQuality Assurance Engineer • Graduate • QA Automation+Python bootcamp • OnlineMay 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Good course
The course is a good intro to Manual testing and testing software in general, but there are many other advanced aspects of testing not covered. If you need automated testing skills this is too basic for you and you should look for a more advanced course. Great for beginners, too basic for some.Anna of Careerist

Great platform if you are looking for a new job.
Great platform if you are looking for a new job. I took the Manual QA course (class of July 2020) and the instructors and mentors were really supportive and patient. Normally I find remote learning a bit challenging, but it worked really well because of how practical and rich the program was. I feel ready to start my career in QA and considering taking the advance course (QA Automation) in the future, when I feel ready to learn some code.

I think if you are looking for practical training that is centered around the job market, their programs are the best. But if you are looking for pure education and academic theory, maybe Coursera is good enough.Anna of Careerist

Underwhelming and overpriced
My experience at Careerist was underwhelming. The course involved listening to stories and role-playing. Negative comments on Slack are deleted, which is misleading. The job search tool is just a job board for LinkedIn and Indeed. The high cost, including resume creation, seems unjustified. - AnonymousStudent • Manual And Automation QA Bundle bootcamp • OnlineJul 05, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Totally Unsatisfied with the Internship part of Program

Today it is all about the hands on work which is where things got dicey. The internal internship was great! My team lead was very informative and completed his part of reviewing and giving feedback in a timely manner. However when it came to the external internship which I believe is the one that counted the most, my team lead dropped the ball all together. I am currently at the end of the intern and I have completed all five task that were assigned to me and have not received not one review or feedback on any of the work that I have completed. Then when I reach out to the internship group as well as my team lead I feel as I was brushed off. I get a message from the intern group saying they will reach out to the team lead and I get a message from my team lead that says "It was a technical error and that I have passed the internship". But me being the technical person I am I went back to look at my task again and woooooow they are still sitting waiting to be reviews with no feedback at all not even a great job. So did I really pass? Horrible experience at this point especially for that amount of money spent. Maybe I'm a one off but if I could do the whole process over I definitely would not. I don't even care to finish at this point just take my money as a loss an walk away.
