Manual QA course
After completing the QA Automation course, I received a good offer in a large company. The job search took 3 months. There were many different interviews and technical tasks, but I was eager to achieve results. And finally with the constant support of our trainer Svetlana Levinson I succeeded! I especially recommend Careerist school for those who want to combine study and current work, as training is held online on weekends or in the evening. Good luck to all!

Manual QA course
I would definitely recommend this QA bootcamp! I was in among first array of graduates, when nobody even knew of that school, and I trusted them following my guts (after researching many other similar bootcamps). I came to QA from a totally different background, and had lots of doubts, but Max and Ivan were really supportive along the way. After 2.5 months of extensive job search, failed interviews, disappointments, mood swings and ups and downs I found the position I could only dream of. I’m working now for a Fortune 100 company full time with benefits and all other perks. Thank you guys! You helped me switch gears and finally find myself!

I received an offer of $50 per hour after the very first interview with a company in New York! I didn’t have any prior experience in this field. Max Glubochansky and his colleagues are fantastic! They explain everything very well.
Oksana, 26 y.o.
Manual QA course
I’m one of Max’s students who did the program and is highly happy and satisfied! I’m employed at Google as a tester and I absolutely love it! This is 100% working and I’m very grateful and thankful to Max. He does everything to make his students successful and competitive. You just have to be persistent hard working and optimistic. This field is in demand now and the market is pretty good as well. All you need to do is just finish the course and start applying!

Vlad, 31 y.o.
Manual QA course
Got a job at Intel of $46/hour just two weeks after the training. At first, I was worried about my bad English, but I shouldn’t have been, I was so coached in the interview questions, that I answered all of them.

You need to:
You do not need to have a technical background, a Computer Science degree, or have any development skills. You do not need to buy equipment.
Yes!
You do not need any technical knowledge, education, or programming skills to become a tester.
With us, you will master the required and relevant skills to become a tester in just one month.
Our instructors, who work for leading IT companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, and Intel, have prepared the dream course for you. The course is packed full of up-to-date information, that is presented in a fun way, and there’s lots of practical work too.
We focus on preparing you for interviews and employment as well, so it is not just about learning testing skills. After completing the course, we also stay in touch with you, and we continue to meet with our former students online every Saturday.
Our graduates enter the market and earn $35-$50 per hour.
Our past students currently work across more than 12 US states, and they earn salaries ranging from $70K to $100K per year.
According to our statistics, in bigger cities such as New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and San Jose, within 2-5 months you can find a job that can provide a salary of $70 to $100K a year. In other cities and states, the salary may be slightly less from $70K to $90K a year.
Our course lasts 1 month, and we hold 5 sessions throughout the week (Sunday - Thursday).
Sessions are 2 hours long.
Lessons are online from 5:30p to 7:30p PST (8:30p to 10:30p EST.).
You get access to course material all of the time. You can review content at a convenient time for you.
After or during the training, you will be able to remotely go through an internship to one of the Silicon Valley companies. The average duration of an Internship is 2-3 weeks. The training is organized in such a way that you can combine it with work, study, and your private life.
We guarantee 1:1 support and mentoring, which is provided after the course is completed too.
During the course, your instructors will personally comment on your work and they will give you helpful tips so that you can learn their life hacks.
Mentors will also help you to prepare a resume and to create a LinkedIn profile.
To prepare for an interview, your mentor can run through mock interview questions with you. Plus they can provide you with feedback on where you could improve.
The Careerist mentor will work closely with you until you find a job.
You have two payment options:
1st: You only pay the registration fee. Then you pay Careerist a % of your salary over a set period of time once you get your first job.
2nd: Pay upfront. You pay the full cost of training immediately.
You also have the option to buy a bundle pack. The ‘Bundle Pack’ is when you buy both the Manual QA and the Automation QA courses together. Here you would essentially be securing a very high-paying career for yourself, as becoming an automated tester is the next step up from a manual testing role. Plus, you should reach a salary of more than $100K a year by having both approaches to testing on your resume.
Learn more about prices here.
You get the first lesson for free. Only after completing this lesson you decide if you want to continue with your studies. If you choose to continue then you will need to sign an agreement based on one of the above options (1, 2, or Bundle Pack).
You will get $100 from us for every person you refer to Careerist! You just need to take these three easy steps.
Searches usually take 2-5 months after finishing the course. This however, does depend on individual effort as well.
One of the main mistakes people make is to assume they will get a job in two to three weeks of completing the course.
Generally, the key to success is to look for a job every day and to apply for roles.
You will eventually receive some good offers and you can choose which one to pursue. Plus,if you have many offers you can start negotiating with companies for the best salary.
We do our best to get you into work quickly. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be employed in a set amount of time, as every student is different.
Although we do our very best to prepare you as much as possible, we cannot do the interview and get the job for you - this is entirely up to you.
When looking for a job you must be prepared to put in the effort and to accept that you will be rejected by companies. But, you must remember that this is a perfectly natural process, and you should remain motivated and calm. Your mentor will be able to help you when you feel low, and when you need to brush up on your interview skills.
The important thing to remember is to keep searching and applying for roles.
We can guarantee that with us, within just a month of training, you will gain mid-level QA knowledge, as well as an internship, practical learning projects, and interview skills.
No, a certificate in this area is not needed in the United States.
Our past students currently work across more than 12 US states, and they earn salaries ranging from $70K to $100K per year.
Yes, we recommend that you participate in the training if you are aged between 21 and 50 years old.
