I took the Systems Engineering course last year. It was super engaging. The course is good even if you are a beginner in tech. Now I am working as a systems engineer for a delivery service app—one that you may have heard of!—and this is exactly what I wanted. Thanks, Careerist team!
I am relatively new to tech, and I really enjoyed how the instructors did a very good job of covering all the details so that a beginner can easily understand the steps and flow of logic throughout the project, starting with the basics at the very beginning of the course. I totally recommend Careerist for anyone who wants to have an awesome IT career. Instructors are knowledgeable and online classes are enjoyable. I'm glad to say I'm finally working in tech!
I have a background in customer support. Before the course, I knew very little about the world of IT, but I had basic computer skills. Careerist gave me helpful key points on getting my first tech job, and their Job Application Service is just a miracle! Thank you very much!
I’ll be advising people to join this kind of program at Careerist in the future. This is a perfect situation for someone wanting to jump into a new career in something that is probably going to continue, even if they don’t have experience with or prior knowledge about computers. Careerist is the best place to start. Put in the time, participate in class, and complete their assignments without looking for shortcuts. I stuck to that routine and secured a job within four months of the program ending.
My experience with Careerist has been great. They have helped me through the entire process, starting from taking the training to landing a job as a systems engineer. I think for me, the best part was how honest and open they were about their program, which was evident from their free webinar that I attended. You can ask any questions you may have and they will clear up your doubts.
I chose to take a Systems Engineering course at Careerist to end my career in accounting and move on to a new career in a field that I have always been interested in—i.e., the IT world—but never knew where to start. I chose Careerist for the fact that they had live webinars and coaching and helped with resumes and job searching. I received great support both inside and outside of the classroom. The program was great; it has given me new career opportunities I would not have had otherwise. It has greatly impacted my life because I no longer have a dead-end career and have acquired skills that will open many doors for my new career.
