Money-Back Guarantee Requirements

If you do not receive a qualifying job offer within 270 days of your job-seeking start date, you will be eligible for full tuition reimbursement. “Job-seeking Start Date” is defined as the day after the cohort completion date. Coding Temple reserves the right to consider graduates who do not commence a job search starting on the job-seeking start date, or have demonstrated levels of responsiveness and/or job-search activity less then the below requirement such that said graduate would not reasonably be considered to be engaging in a job search, as “not job-seeking.” Meeting some or partial requirements does not offer a partial refund.
