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/

    Amazing experience

    The path that got me to FlatIron was not straight, nor flat. I had quit my job to attend a different (local) bootcamp that closed their local campus only a few weeks before my cohort was set to begin. I was in a hurry to find a good option, and knew I needed one that I could start within the next month, if not the next few days or weeks. There were only a few options that fit that criteria, and FlatIron was a standout among them because of timing, price, the job guarantee and reviews on Co...

    Great Place to become a Web Developer

    I had dabbled in coding before joining flatiron. I had worked on WordPress sites and had a bit of experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails using free online resources.

    I remember how it felt to do web work before flatiron, and I'm really glad I decided to go through the online web developer program. I have so many more tools in my belt and I know what they do.  But, most importantly, I have learned how to approach problems that I don't have solutions for yet. I've gotten so much be...

    Perhaps the most fun and challenging three months of my life

    A fellow alum convinced me to give Flatiron a try because I'd recently been laid off when my previous company collapsed.  The first day I knew it was one of the best decisions of my life.  Fast-forward three months and I have a new job, am making 25k more a year than I was in my previous career, and genuinely enjoy the work that I do.  Go to some of their events, get a feel for their vibe, and if you're gut tells you to make the plunge then do it.  You won't regret it, and you'll work with...

    An amazing way to make a career change

    I attended Flatiron's Online Web Developer Program via Learn.co from August 2016 to April 2017 while working full time. Fully employed as of May 2017.

    I'm fully aware that I go into full fangirl mode whenever I talk about Flatiron. What can I say? I had an amazing experience that I can honestly call life-changing. I went from a hobbyist coder to an employable programmer in less than a year, met tons of friends from all over the U.S. and the rest of the world, and...

    Perfect way to become a legit coder

    I had dabbled with code before I went throught Flatiron, I built a few projects and went through many tutorials. Going through the Flatiron program took all of my knowledge and made it marketable. It helped me grasp the fundamentals that I needed in order to learn and write code at a much faster and deeper pace.

    If you are interested in making money from coding, Flatiron is the place to be. The environment is warm and welcoming and very conducive to learning. The instructors are ...

    Perfect program to help you pursue your passions

    I attended the Web Development Immersive program beginning in September 2016 and got a job in software engineering in February 2017! The on-campus program really helped me provide me with a platform to learn with the most helpful instructors and other students who shared the same passion to learn coding/programming.

    I was previously in banking for 5 years and the Flatiron School really allowed me to make a career change in such a short amount of time. I got my job through the ver...

    Exactly What I Was Looking For

    I attended Flatiron's 12-week Full Stack Web Development Immersive Program back in September 2016, got a job last month, April 2017. 

    On Curriculum    I liked how flatiron taught both Ruby and JavaScript. It's exactly what I wanted from a bootcamp. The lessons can be pretty challenging but they're doable. They ask you to build things from scratch like ORMs and later teach you that there are simpler ways to do this through abstraction or less code. Th...

    WONDERFUL experience!

    I attended Flatiron School's iOS Immersive program in the fall of 2016. I absolutely LOVED it! I learned so much from the course; the instructors were unbelievably helpful and approachable and the material was both challenging and instructive. The career team was very helpful in preparing me for interviews and in managing the process of finding a job. Strongly recommend this course!

    Way More Than Education

    This place, this thing, the Flatiron School gave me what I thought it should, an education in a full stack of programming languages so I can build stuff. But that doesn't even scratch the surface. Honestly. I knew I wanted to learn to code after having a little exposure to it. Sure, there is a stigma around it (love it or hate it) that tech is the future and its a necessary skillset that makes you an employable cog in a wheel if you can write code. But what about liking what you do? What a...

    Flatiron Changed My Life

    Allow me to start with the opportunities: it took me longer than I originally expected to secure a position and I didn't expect to move when I was originally applying for the program.

    I graduated from Flatiron School's iOS Development Immersive on August 26th, 2016. Prior to Flatiron, I mainly held various retail roles (ranging from entry level to leadership) & a strong passion for creating music. My introduction to coding was through Flatiron School's assigned pre-work (whic...

    Gave me a career - it is what you make it

    The review below is in reference to the iOS program. Many of the pros and cons are not applicable to the Web immersive :)

    Pros: I was almost unable, and completely intimidated by code when I came into Flatiron. I had been attempting to learn iOS programming(objective-c) on my own, but it was slow to the point of just not happening. Flatiron managed to make a curriculum that was digestible for my learning style, which revolves around hands on experience.  I came out knowing how to...

    Recommended, but take ownership of your own success.

    tl;dr: I attended The Flatiron School's online program, Learn Verified, from January to April, 2016.  I worked freelance/contracting gigs for a bit, then finally landed a full-time job as a web developer in September 2016.

    The Long Story
    I have been writing code forever, but I've had relatively little formal education in it.  As 2015 drew to a close, I was in a bad spot and I needed a dramatic change.  My job sucked.  I had no money and no p...
