"The greatest place to get new career!"

I enrolled in Careerist School on a friend's recommendation. She had recently completed their Manual Tester course, landed a job, and then decided to upskill with their Automation Tester course, which also led to quick employment.

I've never regretted... Read More

The school is truly a game-changer if you're looking to switch careers and find your place in IT, or if you're an IT professional who's relocated and needs to adapt to American standards.

The classes are engaging, with a great balance of theory and practice. The instructors and organizers are incredibly supportive.

I received invaluable advice and help with motivation, resume building, and job search strategies.
In my case, the job search took a bit longer due to personal circumstances, but both my husband and I have already received numerous interview invitations. Meanwhile, we're continuing with additional courses, and the school is assisting with securing a free internship, which is a great addition to our resumes.
You also have constant access to the latest questions from employers, which is perfect for interview prep.

Best of all, the tuition is much more affordable than other schools, and the quality and guarantees are far superior. The personalized approach and positive atmosphere are amazing. Huge thanks to the organizers and instructors!
I'm confident that we're destined for success and can't wait to share our final results with everyone.

I also appreciated that even if English isn't your first language, all the lessons are accessible and easy to understand. This is a huge plus. Highly recommended!
