We talk about our money-back guarantee a lot, and with good reason — we're proud of how it backs up our focus on getting people hired in tech. If you only read this intro, the headline is simple: if you follow our recommendations and don't land a qualifying tech job during your Money-Back Guarantee period, your tuition is refunded.

How the TripleTen money-back guarantee works
Graduate from your TripleTen bootcamp on time, complete the included career preparation, and run an active job search the way our career coaches lay it out. If you don't have a qualifying tech job by the end of your Money-Back Guarantee period — typically 10 to 15 months from the day your final project is accepted — you can request a tuition refund. The refund is based on the actual amount you've paid TripleTen; third-party financing costs like loan interest and bank fees are non-refundable.
What's expected of you
Bootcamps, even one with a money-back guarantee, aren't magic. You wouldn't sign up for piano lessons and expect to play Chopin after sitting passively in a practice room — and finding a tech job works the same way. To stay eligible for the refund, you have to put genuine effort into the job search.
Here's what that means in practice.
- Graduate on time.
On-time graduation means completing your bootcamp within 1.5x the standard duration listed in the TripleTen Academic Catalog, measured from your scheduled start date. - Complete the career prep tasks assigned before your graduation date.
Sharpen your job-search skills and polish your resume, LinkedIn, cover letter, and portfolio. - From the day your final project is accepted, work the job search the way your career coach lays it out.
Send applications, network, build portfolio work, and hit the weekly minimums the Career Team sets (including a minimum of 10 applications and 10 networking messages per week). - Attend regular check-ins with your career coach.
Bi-weekly check-ins, for the full 10-month active job search window.
Some qualifications to know about
The actions above are what you do. To be eligible for the money-back guarantee, you also need to meet these requirements:
- Be at least 21 years old
- Permanently reside in the United States
- Be legally authorized to work in the U.S. in your program's field — without current or future sponsorship
- Be proficient in spoken and written English (B2 CEFR or higher) at the start of the program
- Be up to date on tuition payments throughout the bootcamp
- Search for full-time roles with a U.S. employer
- Not limit your job search to remote roles only
Those are the requirements most relevant up front. There's more in the agreement — including residency rules during your search, what counts as a qualifying job offer, and how to track your activity. You can read the legal terms here, and we encourage you to.
What you get in return
You're going to take the job search seriously. The good news: TripleTen is going to back you with serious support.
Per our Student Achievement Highlights 2026, 63% of TripleTen grads receive a job offer within their job-search period (six or 10 months, depending on enrollment terms), and 88% of grads who landed roles in 2024 are still in those roles 12+ months later. That's what happens when bootcamp curriculum, hands-on practice, and a focused career team all pull in the same direction.
From day one, you build the in-demand skills employers want. 68% of the more than 1,000 hiring managers in TripleTen's Employer Report flagged hard skills (coding, tech tools, data, security) as critical for new hires — and 65% said soft skills (communication, collaboration, presenting) were just as important. Bootcamp instructors with industry experience teach the technical material; the bootcamp's structure itself — cross-team projects, externships, code reviews — builds the soft skills.
Once you graduate, the TripleTen Career Team picks up where the curriculum leaves off: 1,600+ hours of career coaching in 2025, coaching sessions tailored to the role you're targeting, mock interviews, resume and LinkedIn reviews, portfolio guidance, and consistent encouragement when the search runs long. 49% of employed grads credit their career coaches' guidance with helping them succeed; 41% point to the impact of practice interviews and coaching sessions specifically.
What happens if it doesn't work out
The promise: if you've met every requirement above and a qualifying job hasn't come together, you can request a tuition refund. The window is between 10 and 15 months from the day your final project was accepted.
A few things to know about the refund process:
- When the refund is approved, your TripleTen access ends. You lose access to your bootcamp account, which means you can't return to brush up on the material or use TripleTen resources afterward.
- You also lose the ongoing career support that's normally available to TripleTen alumni — the career coaching that continues even years after graduation.
- A refund isn't a dead end. Our student Krystle Ta used the money-back guarantee — and landed a Product Owner role at Chipotle two months later. The refund and the career can both happen.
We stand by the money-back guarantee because we're confident that, working alongside our internal experts, you can absolutely change careers and land the tech role you're aiming for.
