Thanks for sharing. Just like I'm critical of good reviews I also think it's important to see all perspectives before concluding.
Do you have any explanation for their 87% placement rate within 6 months. I know it's a bit misleading because it's starting with all people placed, how many were in 6 months vs not (and might include people who were refunded). But it seems to potentially exclude people who don't meet the "requirements" for refund even if they graduate?
I'm honestly confused but just the nature of self-paced remote programs is that far less people finish than strict cohorted progreams and even like a 40% rate would be very strong.
So do you have any insight into how other people felt? Are they upset? Leaving early? etc...
Do you have any sense that most people who start are getting SWE jobs?
(I'm talking SWE and not Data or Cyber)

Glad you brought that up, because I do think those numbers are a bit sketchy. I was cruising through LinkedIn and saw that there are not many people that graduated TripleTen have any sort of job that’s related to the course chosen - post graduation.

It looks like the job guarantee is now 'if you don't get a job within 10 months, we refund' - which is very interesting if historically very few people finish in 10 months because they have to finish to be eligible.
It's like this (watch the whole 45 seconds): [https://www.tiktok.com/@comedycentral/video/7018617892316908806?lang=en](https://www.tiktok.com/@comedycentral/video/7018617892316908806?lang=en)
I'm very curious how many people actually get refunded.

I am curious why nobody on this thread took 4 seconds to actually look up what those terms even are for TripleTen. I was interested since I am looking to get into a BootCamp and guess what? It took me 30 seconds with chatgpt to give me the exact link. [https://docs.tripleten.com

I've been doing this for years and I've read all their docs including their referral program ones.
I advise you to be really careful and diligent in your research and questioning because you can't take marketing and refund policies at face value.
Ask TripleTen how many people got refunds in your program you are considering in the past year.
If they won't give a specific number then ask what percentage graduates within 15 months (the max time to be refund eligible). If it's 30% then that means that at most 30% of people could get refunds.
If they won't give an answer to that then don't sign up.
If you still want to sign up, then ask to talk to people who actually graduated in 2025 for a reference check.
If they won't connect you with anyone, don't sign up.
If they do, ask the person how many people they started with graduated too already.
I'm a few steps ahead here but I want you to discover on your own so you don't blame anyone other than yourself if you don't get a refund.

Well you're claiming your two steps ahead but didn't even post the document. What part of this document do you find disengenuis? Should I ask my counselor at community college these same questions. I went to Milwaukee area technical college and to say I didn't learn a lot would b

Like I said, ask them how many people get fully refunded under the job guarantee.
I'm not making any comments good or bad about Triple Ten, I'm giving advice for what you should ask ANY bootcamp that offers a job guarantee.
The fact that the job guarantee sounds so legit is a red hearing if almost no one ever actually gets it.
And people might not get it entirely because of their own fault.
But if you join expecting that or Triple Ten admissions people sold you on the job guarantee for any you should join, then I think it's extremely sad if you then entirely blame yourself for not progressing fast enough.
It's like the video I posted. The rules were fair and clear but not a single person got the $1 TV and they all expected to get it when they showed up at the store that day.
