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/

    Great bootcamp prep course

    Flatiron's free bootcamp prep is a great tool that introduces coding to beginners. The courses are easy to follow and the access you have to the instructors as well as other students working on the prep course really helps. I definitely recommend anyone interested in learning code to take advantage of the free prep course.

    No regrets - amazing experience

    A year ago I was dipping my toe into the world of web development but felt like I was getting nowhere.  I did Code Academy and Coursera courses and felt I understood the logic behind programming but had zero confidence in my ability to actually create something.  Then I found Flatiron School, completed their online full stack program, and have not only the skills to create whatever I can imagine, but the confidence needed to figure out what I don't know.  The online community is great, som...

    Bootcamp Prep

    I did the Flatiron School's Bootcamp Prep course. It is a remarkable tool for introducing the fundamentals of JavaScript and Ruby. THe course is consists of lessons on their website and coding labs on the Learn IDE. As you learn the basic concepts like data types, functions, working with arrays and objects, and looping, you also solidify the fundamentals that you will use to build a Rock Dodger game in JavaScript and a command-line tic-tac-toe game in Ruby at the end of the course. There a...

    Flatiron School Bootcamp Prep

    I've done parts of the bootcamp prep, and it already shows how much the tools help for coding.  It's worth the time to look into and it can take you far in your coding path.  The best thing about the prep course and in general is the "ask a question" button.  There will always be someone on the other end willing to help you.  If you need more help, they will set up a live voice/video chat to help you further understand.  I wouldn't have gotten on the online web-developer program without it...

    Is Flatiron Prep-Bootcamp worth taking?

    First a little background history, I just turned 38, this August , and I've been working in construction for the past 19 years. I used to work with computers in my teens (had my own computer school and repair shop back in Brazil along with two other friends, we were all teenagers at the time). I loved programming but life circumstances, and my own decisions made me put that on the back burner. I tried to go back to it, a few times, but with kids and family, it was a little difficult.

    Great Experience in Online Immersive

    I recently finished the online immersive from Flatiron School (July 2017). I went into the program without much coding experience (just some HTML, CSS, and Javascript from Codecademy), and I had completed the Flatiron free Intro to Javascript course. I knew I wanted to go to a coding bootcamp, and I selected Flatiron for a few different reasons:

    - great reputation
    - full stack program
    - money back job guarantee
    - flexibility of at your own pace
    - priced cheape...

    Flatiron Bootcamp Prep Course

    I recently completed this course to help me get ready for the interview.  It's really user-friendly and after working through the lessons I felt MUCH more confident about interviewing with Flatiron and other bootcamps.  It's definitely worth the time and effort.

    Bootcamp Prep Course

    Solid intro course.  It does need to be run through with a fine-tooth comb by someone; theres a few spots where it's obvious something was updated/changed but a bit of text wasn't updated to reflect it, which may leave you confused, but they're usually small and quickly corrected if you ask a question about it.

    Don't get discouraged if you run into a 'Wait, that was covered? I've never seen that before'.  It's purposefully challenging to drop the people who won't stick with it, a...

    Great Bootcamp Prep Course

    I completed the Flatiron school's bootcamp prep course and am three weeks away from starting at their full time immersive in person program. I can't say for sure yet how much it prepared me for the course but I passed the technical interview for admissions! 

    The prep is great because they have people online all the time (even late at night and on the weekends) to help you with questions. The course uses an IDE that is easy to learn and works well.

    Fantastic bootcamp prep course

    I was recently accepted to Flatiron School's on campus Web Development Immersive program. Flatiron's online bootcamp prep course was one of the tools that I used to prepare for the technical interview. Their proprietary software is known as learn.co and it is wonderful. It includes an IDE integrated into atom. There are both Javascript and Ruby tracks filled with quality content. I believe there are also basic HTML and CSS courses as well. It starts at a level that even a beginner can unde...

    Bootcamp Prep Course and Admissions Process

    I was recently accepted into the Web Development Immersive at the NYC campus and am super excited to be attending the program next month. 

    To start my story: I have been interested in learning to write code for some time, but never really found the impetus to begin my journey. I have worked a variety of jobs and have most recently found myself working in Non-Profit, while finishing up a bachelors degree in Management. I never really found true fulfillment in any of the work I was...
