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/

    Make yourself useful

    I graduated from the Flatiron School in-person web immersive in May 2015 (Ruby-007 cohort).

    I was one of the few hired right out of my cohort onto the school’s engineering team as an apprentice developer. Now it’s a year and half later, and I couldn’t be happier or more proud of where I’m at today. I went from zero professional coding experience to apprentice developer in three months, with a promotion to Developer I by month ten.

    That’...

    After Flatiron, more than just a web developer

    The highlight of my Flatiron education was the outcome. After graduating from the on-campus web development immersive program, I was hired into a data scientist position and asked to immediately learn Python and other data science packages and tools. While the shift was initially daunting, after a mere few weeks I found myself already comfortable with the new programming language and libraries needed to conduct industry-standard analysis. The fact that I was able to smoothly transition to ...

    Great place to learn!

    Flatiron School was a great experience for me. It gave me an opportunity to learn and develop my coding skills, and ultimately led to more career opportunities.They really helped set me up with the tools I needed to become a better programmer. Flatiron school's curriculum is challenging and really forces students to think outside the box to solve complex programming problems.

    really smooth career transition

    I had a good career before Flatiron School. I'd studied accounting and gotten a job at PwC where I was making good money, had a ton of job stability, and was moving up in the ranks. That was what I thought I should be looking for when I was in college, hence the major I had chosen. The problem was that I discovered I didn't really like accounting. I also really didn't like working 80 hours a week.

    I thought I was taking a huge risk by throwing all my experienc...

    Best Decision I Ever Made

    It's been a almost a year since I graduated from the Flatiron school and I can wholeheartedly say attending the Flatiron School was the best decision I made in my life: I walked out of flatiron school not only with a new set of skills, but with an amazing community and circle of friends.

     

    Prior to attending, I worked as a producer in news. I attended the full-time web development immersive and now work as a software engineer at a big news station. I get t...

    I wouldn't be where I am today if I had not decided to leave my old career and attend the Flatiron School.

    I was a Finance major with Information Systems Minor in college. After college, I worked in the banking industry in New York for several years. I left that job to work at a startup in product for a brief time. All that experience contributed to my decision to attend the Flatiron School. I would challenege anyone thinking about making the switch to think hardly about the deci...

    Great program I attribute to my success!

    I am very thankful for the material I learned and the people I met at Flatiron. I attended Flatiron from Jan 2016 - April 2016 thanks to the NYC Tech Talent Pipeline Mobile Dev Corps Scholarship. The material I learned over those 4-months really changed my life and is the reason I am a developer now.

    Background:

    I was a Math major in college and had taken a number of CS classes. I was already familiar with Object Oriented concepts in C++, but had no experience in mobile...

    Ruby 003

    I was apart of the Ruby 03 winter 2013 web development in person class. My story is alittle different then the typical flatiron student. I had graduated college with a EE degree in 2006 and while I had taken coding classes in college, I realized that after 7 years of being in the electonics industry; my technical skills were not what they used to be. I needed new skills for what was happening in the software industry because software was becoming more and more apart of our daily lives beca...

    Great career move

    Going to the Flatiron School (BK-000) was the best career move I've made. I graduated from college with a history degree, and then went directly into account management at a tech company where I realized I wanted to do what the product team was doing, so I quit to pursue that goal. Flatiron School helped me transition from an unemployed/contracted worker to a software engineer at a great NYC startup, and I've been going strong since.

    Nevertheless if you're thi...

    Best Decision I've Ever Made

    I can't say enough about how fantastic my experience with Flatiron's Learn program was. The entire curriculum is well structured and extensive. And I truly mean extensive. Many online coding programs will focus on students building portfolio projects (twitter clones) but don't go into how things work under the hood. Not only does the program teach you how Active Record works in a practical sense, but they also have you build your own ORM framework so you understand in detail ho...

    Everything you need for a programming career!

    Flatiron School was probably the hardest thing, and the best thing, I ever did.

    After dabbling in a few technical tasks at work, I knew I wanted to make programming my career.  Flatiron School helped me realize that dream.  The curriculum is designed to give you everything you need to make web applications and land a job as a Junior Developer, whether it is general programming concepts like MVC or data modeling, to learning web frameworks such as Sinatra and R...

    The Right Choice

    Learning to program through the Flatiron School’s Learn Verified platform was one of the best choices I’ve made. The online program was a perfect fit for me as I learned how to program while still keeping my day job to support myself. Not only do they have a solid curriculum (Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Angular, etc), but they have exceptional instructors, a supportive online community, and an amazing Career Services team.
