Flatiron School offers immersive on-campus and online programs in software engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and product design (UX/UI design). Flatiron School’s immersive courses aim to launch students into fulfilling careers by providing a robust career services framework and dedicated one-on-one coaching post graduation that is included as an added value with the tuition. 

The application process asks prospective students to share a bit about themselves and what is driving them to start a career. The process includes speaking with an Admissions representative in a non-technical interview to allow for the opportunity to get to know each other better in a friendly conversation. Applicants will also need to complete a 15-minute critical thinking and problem-solving assessment afterwards. Applicants will receive an acceptance decision from Admissions within 4 business days of completing the assessment.

Flatiron School’s Career Services team provides weekly 1:1 career coaching sessions, mock interviews, and access to an extensive employer network to help students launch fulfilling careers in tech after graduation.

Flatiron School powers the Access Scholarship which invested $1.5 million into the futures of more than 500 students across all of Flatiron School’s campuses and online courses in 2020. The Access Scholarship opens doors for aspiring innovators who may have experienced barriers to education. To build a more diverse and inclusive tech community, Flatiron School has awarded over $10 million in scholarships for women, minorities, veterans, and other underrepresented groups in tech.

Flatiron School was one of the first bootcamps in the industry and a pioneer in providing 3rd party examined job placement reports. Read their full independently-examined jobs reports at: https://flatironschool.com/jobs-reports/

    Prep Course Review

    I has zero experience coding when I started Flatiron's bootcamp prep course -  their course is designed for beginners but is still challenging and pushes students to learn, not memorize patterns. Their lessons are clear and thorough, and give you all the tools and resources you need to be succesful as a student. If you get stuck on a problem they have a live chat support with more advanced students/instructors who can help or teach you how to debug your code - This system is by far the mos...

    Bootcamp Prep Course Review

    Overall, I found the Bootcamp Prep Coures Prep to be extremely helpful in learning the fundamentals of Javascript and Ruby. I felt the course was structured well, with the labs  building upon the knowledge earned from previous readings. I would strongly recommend it to anyone thinking of applying to the Immersive/Online courses.

    I would also recommend it to anyone that is just trying to introduce themselves to the world of coding, as the prep starts from the absolute basics.

    Well-designed online prep course and excellent admissions process

    I will be joining Flatiron's software engineering immersive program in a couple months, and I'm very excited to be starting with them! While I only had a taste of the online prep course through their admissions process, the modules that I completed are all very well designed. The online platform/Learn IDE is intuitive and easy to use. Concepts are explained nicely, and support is readily available if needed. If you are thinking of applying, I encourage you to do so.

    Bootcamp Prep Course

    While applying to several top bootcamps in New York, I quickly began preparing for the technical interviews. After going through the basic codecademy tracks, I fully immersed myself in Flatiron School's prep course which was what helped me ace all three of my technical interviews. After all, I decided to go with Flatiron School partly because of their awesome learning platform and the rigorous curriculum of their software engineer program.

    Flatiron Works

    I am a recent graduate of Flatiron School, and I am proof that it works. After 15 weeks of education and training without any previous experience, I landed a job (2 months post graduation) in which I feel comfortable and competent and able to contribute. Flatiron can't teach you EVERYTHING, and, thus, I still have much to learn about professionally coding, but they prepared me exactly as they said they would, and I have a job because of it. If you are dedicated and committed to learning, s...

    Good Experience

    I found the program to be really great. I think it fostered a great environment of a group of students all working very hard and helping one another in what made for a strong learning environment. Also the career coach was great. 
    The only thing I would have preferred to be different was if they had taught full stack JavaScript instead of spending a lot of time on ruby/rails before getting to JavaScript for frontend.

    Flatiron's Bootcamp Prep Course - good intro to the course

    Solid course to gauge multiple factors. Those would be course content, teaching style, personal ability, and interest in development.

    The prep course gives you an outline as to what you would receive as an education from Flatiron. You get a chance to examine what the quality of the content would be and how it would be taught. You get to experiance real coding at your own pace. With the Learn IDE environment you don't need to spend hours setting up your own envoirnment, one is pro...

    Top-notch Bootcamp Prep

    Flatiron's Bootcamp Prep course gave students a comprehensive overview of the browser tools and Javascript. The labs were challenging but tightly connected to their corresponding lessons, which clearly explained topics for beginners. The best part about taking this (free!) course is the direct flow of communication between students and TAs. There's almost always (if not always) TAs online that address questions that students post in the chatroom. Fast response time, and if the issue isn't ...

    Worth it

    When I decided to attend a bootcamp, I had my heart set on Hack Reactor because I had read over and over that it was the Harvard of bootcamps. The thing about bootcamps like Hack Reactor is they have impressive job outcomes because they're extremely selective; they only accept students who could already get a great job without the program, e.g., PhDs, Ivy Leaguers, exceptional coders. In case you're reading this and can't decide on a school, I hope that steers you in the right direction.

    Review for Bootcamp

    I searched around the internet quite a bit and did several months of self-learning online and this was the best course I came across. What made it different from the others is the amount of live support. Not only are you connected to fellow coders going through the same thing as you, but there is a help chat which often led to one on one instruction no matter what time of day or day of the week. That was a game changer for me. I cannot recommend the bootcamp enough!

    Online Bootcamp Prep Review

    Flatiron's bootcamp prep course runs on an amazing platform. Questions will inevitably come up as you complete the labs but the support network is unrivaled. A Flatiron technical coach will respond to your question in a matter of seconds and they are often able to spend ~20 minutes with you via screen share to answer any questions. It's a great free resource to help prepare for bootcamp applications.
