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.

Well-designed and built online platform with tons of features and instant peer-to-peer support. Truly life-changing experience.
I've looked at a few different coding bootcamps & tried out their introductory learning material, but I definitely wish I had started with Flatiron's. Their bootcamp prep course is an amazing place to start & really lays everything out in an easy to approach way. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get started in coding.
I found Flatiron school's prep work to be a comprehensive, easy to digest and streamlined experience. Even coming from a background of intermediate web development experience, the labs re-solidified many concepts and I even learned some fundamentals I had missed through my self-teaching efforts in the past! There's an integrated IDE so you're actually working in one of the most popular text editors and a very responsive community of other students/staff to help each other out if you get st...
I found Flatiron school's prep work to be a comprehensive, easy to digest and streamlined experience. Even coming from a background of intermediate web development experience, the labs re-solidified many concepts and I even learned some fundamentals I had missed through my self-teaching efforts in the past! There's an integrated IDE so you're actually working in one of the most popular text editors and a very responsive community of other students/staff to help each other out if you get stuck on an exercise. I've been accepted to the upcoming November cohort but if the quality of the prep work is any indication of the course I'm confident it's going to be great. Highly recommend for those new to programming or even if you're just looking to freshen up on the basics.
Having never coded before starting my application process to Flatiron I was incredibly nervous to start and worried that I wouldn’t even get in.
I worked on the Free Online Bootcamp Prep Course from April-May 2017. I found it to be incredibly accessible and expertly written for someone like myself with little to no knowledge or experience.
I applied in early May and was amazingly accepted to the in-person immersive program in NYC from June-October 2017. Having recently ...

I applied in early May and was amazingly accepted to the in-person immersive program in NYC from June-October 2017. Having recently graduated, I can strongly say that this was the best and most comprehensive and rewarding experience of my life. The friendship and support I found within those walls have left me confident and ready for the real world ahead of me in my new career.
I would recommend this opportunity to anyone whose passion for code is as strong as their will to become the best that they can be.
I just started in the Online Web Developer Program a couple weeks ago, and my expirience has been fantastic. They give you all the tools you need to be succesful in the labs. The lectures are full of great examples based on pop culture (which is amazing!) and the tutors are available all the time and they are always eager to help. If you are stuck in something or you just want someone to take a look of your code you can always ask for a screenshare, which is very helpful. The majority of t...

If you are stuck in something or you just want someone to take a look of your code you can always ask for a screenshare, which is very helpful. The majority of the lectures (in order to complement your learning) include links to other pages and/or videos where Avi (one of the co-founder of the school, and a great teacher) gives you the lecture. In addition, we have a Slack community, where you can connect with other students, read their experience with code and share yours. There are study groups based on the Curriculum, but if there is something you really need help with you can always ask for a 1:1 with an instructor or better you can create your own study grup so other students with the same questions can join it :) ... The most wonderful thing that I have found here is that students and instructors are always there for you, that you can ask anything and they will understand you and always try to help you. It is a supportive learning environment.
Having tried out a few online prep courses to see which was the best fit for me, I can say Flatiron School's stood out, so much so that I'm now enrolled in their online Web Development program (starting in November). The instruction and help I received was quick and clear, the labs they've created engaging, and the coursework kept learning interesting. I'm excited to be a full time student in the coming months.
I tried multiple tools before stumbling upon Flatiron School's Bootcamp Prep course. Finally, I had found not only great a beginner curriculum but one that utitilized a community to help students and a program that used an IDE which submitted my work to Github.

Not only did the Bootcamp Prep help me feel more comfortable with the fundamentals but it provided features such as "Ask A Question" where you can work with other (frequently more advanced) students to solve problems you are struggling with.
The Bootcamp Prep also prepared me for the Bootcamp application process. I can happily say that after I completed most of the JavaScript Fundamentals and went through Flatiron's standard interview process I obtained a spot in an upcoming in-person immersive Web Development class at Flatiron's NYC campus.
As I write this I still have 15% of the Flatiron Bootcamp to complete and I have already been successful in securing my first Web Development job!!!
Flatiron is an amazing place to do your Fullstack Web Development training. They have a FREE pre-bootcamp course that will allow you to see if Flatiron is a fit for you, plus if you do it you will already have completed part of the full Bootcamp! Everything about the pre-bootcamp course reflects exactly how the Bootcamp will be:

I am in regional Australia so was looking for a bootcamp that would work in my time zone; I didn't want to be working through the night to attend online lectures. Additionally, I didn't want to be tied to a timeframe to finish the course. Flatiron ticked all the boxes.
An added incentive for you fast learners out there, Flatiron charges by the month, so the quicker you get through the course the less it costs you. This also means that you don't have to come up with the full tuition up front!
As I am outside the USA the job guarantee didn't apply, but that would have been the same wherever I went. Regardless of where you live thought you are assigned a Career Coach about 75% of the way through your course. The Career Coach assists with your resume, networking skills, linterviewing techniques, elevator pitch, and so on and is an invaluable support.
There are opportunities to create and lead study groups and you can always jump in to answer someones question instead of a Flatiron expert. One of my bootcamp friends in Israel is now working remotely as one of Flatiron's learn experts, another career option available through the Flatiron course for people demonstrating a love of mentoring and teaching.
The coursework is comprehensive and well planned and presented. There are a miriad of video lectures that are really helpful when you are stuck on a topic. Many of the lectures are done by Avi Flombaum, one of the school's founders and he is amazing, a wealth of knowledge and experience with the ability to clearly show you how to do things.
