Career Coaching and Money-Back Guarantee For Paid Services

Because 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach is committed to seeing you receive a job offer in the field of the 24/7 Learning Academy/24/7 Teach course/boot camp/program that you successfully completed with a 95% score or better, certain paid Services offered by 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach through the 24/7 Learning Center platform include job search assistance (“Career Coaching”) and/or a tuition waiver refund (“Money-Back Guarantee”). A Service that includes Career Coaching is hereafter referred to as a “Career Coaching Qualifying Program,” and a Service that includes a Money-Back Guarantee is hereafter referred to as a “Money-Back Guarantee Qualifying Program.”

Please note that certain Services may provide both Career Coaching and a Money-Back Guarantee, while others (for example, free courses/internships - Superstar Programs) may not. Please consult each product-specific page for the applicable Service; for further information regarding whether such Service includes the Money-Back Guarantee, Career Coaching, neither, or both.

In the event that you purchase a paid Service that provides for Career Coaching and/or the Money-Back Guarantee, the following Career Coaching and/or Money-Back Guarantee terms and conditions shall apply (as modified and/or supplemented by any applicable Supplemental Terms – for example, any terms outlined on the Service’s product page or at the point of sale).

For purposes of this Career Coaching and Money-Back Guarantee section of these Terms, the term “Qualifying Job Offer” means: an offer of a job that is:

• A position as an employee, apprentice, intern or independent contractor

• Paid, including in cash

• An average of 30 hours or more per week, or multiple offers for part-time work constituting the equivalent of an average of 30 hours or more per week

• At least four weeks in duration

• In the field of the 24/7 Learning Academy/24/7 Teach course/boot camp/program that you successfully completed with a score of 95% or better.

Money-Back Guarantee

If you participate in a Money-Back Guarantee Qualifying Program, and you comply fully with the job search requirements specified below and do not receive a Qualifying Job Offer (as defined above) within 180 days of your job-seeking start date, you will be eligible for a full tuition waiver.

“Job-seeking start date” is the date a graduate commences their job search, and can be no later than 90 days after program completion. 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach School reserves the right to consider graduates who do not commence a job search within 90 days of program completion, or have demonstrated levels of responsiveness and/or job-search activity less than the below requirements such that said graduate would not reasonably be considered to be engaging in a job search, as “not job-seeking.”

To remain eligible for the Money-Back Guarantee (in connection with a Money-Back Guarantee Qualifying Program), you must be actively job seeking and meet all of the following job search requirements during the six (6)-month period following your job-seeking start date:

• Have not received and accepted an offer for any paid full-time job (an average of 30 hours or more per week or two (2) or more part-time jobs aggregating an average of 30 hours or more per week) in the United States  as an employee, apprentice, intern or independent contractor: (i) after completion of the relevant program, in any field; or (ii) during your participation in, and prior to your completion of, the relevant program, that meets the definition of a Qualifying Job Offer.

  • Qualifying Job Offers contingent upon a background check or drug test will be considered to satisfy the requirement at the time of receipt; recipients of Qualifying Job Offers that are revoked following an employer-initiated drug test or background check will not be eligible for any tuition waiver.

It is your sole responsibility to keep track of all job search required activities. 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach recommends that you keep a written log of your activities, back up all data, and make copies of relevant documentation. 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach may, at any time during the 9-month period following your completion of the relevant program, verify your compliance with the job search requirements and ask you for proof of compliance. Failure to present proof of compliance with the job search requirements may result in forfeiture of eligibility for the Money-Back Guarantee.

If you believe that you are eligible for a tuition waiver due to failure to obtain a Qualifying Job Offer, you must submit to 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach via email to placements@flatironschool.com no later than 187 days after your job-seeking start date a request for a waiver setting forth the following: (a) your full name and contact information (address, phone number, email address); and (b) certifying that you:

• Successfully completed the relevant Money-Back Guarantee Qualifying Program;

• Met all job search requirements (and any other applicable requirements);

• Were unable to obtain a Qualifying Job Offer (as defined above) within 180 days of job-seeking start date; and

• Are entitled to a full tuition waiver pursuant to these Terms.

24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach will review tuition waiver requests and may seek from you further information and verification relating to your request, which you must provide within 5 business days of 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach’s request for information. If 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach determines that you are entitled to a tuition waiver under these Terms, (a) with respect to any amount of Total Tuition Deferred that remains unpaid pursuant to your Deferred Payment Plan, your repayment obligations thereunder will be cancelled immediately, and (b) with respect to any amount of Total Tuition Deferred that has been paid pursuant to your Deferred Payment Plan, a refund will be issued to you, typically within 30 days after receipt of your waiver request (or, if 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach sought from you further information and verification relating to your request, within 30 days after receipt by 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach of such information and verification). For the avoidance of doubt, the tuition waiver shall not apply to any fees or penalties owed by you pursuant to your Deferred Payment Plan, and any refund proceeds will first be applied to pay down any fees and penalties which may be owed, with any excess then returned to you.

In the event that you have received a loan from a third-party lender to pay for a Money-Back Guarantee Qualifying Program and become entitled to a refund pursuant to this policy, your full tuition waiver will not include a waiver or refund of any interest, fees, or other payments (other than principal payments) made to the third-party lender (or to the assignee of the loan). In addition, any refund proceeds will first be applied to pay down any amount owing on the loan, with any excess then returned to you.

Following the request and processing of a tuition waiver, 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach reserves the right to revoke services and supports, including but not limited to:

• New-graduate Career Services support

• Alumni Career Services support, including limited Career Coaching meetings and limited consideration for opportunities through Business Development following placement in your first job

Your eligibility for the Money-Back Guarantee (with respect to Money-Back Guarantee Qualifying Programs), will terminate upon the earlier of: (i) your receipt of a job offer (as defined above); (ii) termination by 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach due to your failure to meet the job search requirements specified above; (iii) termination by 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach due to your failure to comply fully with these Terms; and/or (iv) the expiration of the six (6)-month period immediately following your job-seeking start date.

If you are found in violation of or fail to comply with these Terms, 24/7 Learning Academy and 24/7 Teach reserves the right to terminate your participation or enrollment in the program under any paid Service. If you are terminated from any such program, you will forfeit eligibility for any Career Coaching or Money-Back Guarantee to which you may otherwise be entitled.
