The WSO Academy Top Job Offer Guarantee

Welcome to WSO Academy’s Top Job Offer Guarantee (the “Guarantee”). We are committed to your success and will support you fully in Your efforts to break into an elite career. We back our commitment by refunding 100% of your paid tuition if you are not offered a Top Job Offer within the Recruiting Timeline Expiration Date (as defined in the Terms). 

Landing a top job offer involves focused, consistent effort. We put in this effort to help you make that transition, and ask for an equal commitment from you. Specifically, you shall satisfy the requirements below in order to be eligible for the WSO Academy’s Top Job Offer Guarantee. If these requirements are not satisfied, you may still participate in the program and receive all of the advantages of career support, but you will not be eligible for the tuition refund.

Terms

The following terms and conditions (the “Terms”) apply to the WSO Academy Top Job Offer Guarantee:

Eligibility Requirements

• You must be 17 years or older.

• You must have been accepted (and plan to attend) or enrolled in an accredited educational institution or already hold a Bachelor’s Degree from any accredited educational institution. Most employers still require a Bachelor’s degree in addition to technical skills. 

• You must have a 3.4 cumulative GPA or higher for US students;  upper 2nd class honors or better for UK students; the equivalent or better for other regions.

• You must be eligible to legally work in the target country where you are applying.  For the US or Canada, if applying for positions in the US or Canada, you must be eligible to legally work for at least 2 years following graduation from WSO Academy (post the 12-week sprint). OPT eligibility alone is not enough to receive the guarantee and will require a review by our admissions officers to determine if the Top Job Offer Guarantee can be allowed in your specific case.  You must be a current resident of either the United States or Canada.

• You must be a job seeker with the intent of securing employment within a Top Career Industry. If your intent changes at any point in your program, your eligibility will be voided.

• You must be able to pass any background checks associated with jobs that you apply for. Without limiting the foregoing, if you fail to obtain a job offer directly or partially due to your failure to pass a background check associated with the job offer, you will not be eligible for the tuition refund.

If you no longer fit the criteria, your eligibility will be voided. If you provide WSO with false or incorrect information related to any eligibility requirements, your eligibility will be voided.
