This is not completely true. Springboard has a really good reputation for giving multiple extensions and not canceling the money-back guarantee. I have had many students tell me that they worked with them and extended them for months without issues.

The statistics I’m using are from their 2021 California government report on their website and the program length is listed as nine months. Which means that only 29% of people graduate within 14 1/2 months so while they might give extensions and not cancel the job guarantee. Ultimately people are not graduating. I actually don’t think this rate is very low and I’m not complaining about that, I’m just saying that the job guarantee might seem extremely appealing and you might feel like spring worth a safe bet to get a job but in 2021, 71% of people didn’t graduate in 14 1/2 months. So if you were aware that it might take you years to get a job and you may not pay anything for years I think that’s still a pretty good deal but just something to be aware of that it’s not gonna happen in nine months and you need money to live off of during that time.
