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/

    SCAM!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LISTEN!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS SCAM OF WHAT THEY CALL TEACHING!!!! ALL THE REVIEWS ARE FROM PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE COMPANY! They say this is a hands on course and anyone can come and learn cybersecurity (LIES) however it is from that, when you ask a teacher for help you get told to google or YouTube.....OUR TEACHERS didn't even agree with the curriculum style to which he reached out to try to get help. They also go through teachers so fast that they have new teachers "WH...

    I feel taken advantage of.

    I had started a cohort, however after the first test It was suggested by my teacher that I join the next cohort to give me time to review the material more.  I sent an email to the student advisor to discuss what date the next session would begin and find out more information on the process of continuing my education. I was never responded to at least not for three months, not a word from them on what class I would be in or when the class would start (I had reached out several times ).  ...

    Don't Wait to Change Things

    I dedicated about 10 years to the motorcycle industry as a Mechanic and Service Advisor. The last 3 years or so, I felt the passion that I once had slip away but I just stayed doing it because I have a family to provide for.  I felt stuck in an infinite loop of misery and dissatisfaction. I had been listening to the "Learn to Code With Me" podcast by Laurence Bradford while on my way to work for about a year before I finally decided to take action on the ads that I heard for Flatiron Sch...

    Do not go to Flatiron, self-learn or look for another bootcamp

    I attended Flatiron School and would highly suggest self-learning over their program. The ISA loans are a rip-off, their program will not get you a job. I dropped out 3 months early and still owe the max amount for the loan.

    The teachers were undereducated, the program was all over the place and the amount of work they gave fluctuated constantly, where you'd almost have a week off because they didn't calculate how long assignments would take, and then other weeks you'd...

    Flatiron School - Wonderful, but not for everyone

    First of all, I loved my Flatiron Experience.  I went full-time online, I was involved, and I had the time to invest.  If you don't do well with fast-paced learning, or if you aren't able to comfortably reach out and ask for help, you may have a tough time with this bootcamp.  The content is put together well enough, but I recall several sections where if the wording didn't make sense, the only way to move forward was to group up and figure it out with the help of others.

    Flat iron School was not designed to help students

    I was a student during the pandemic at Flat Iron School (FIS). Because of Covid19 related reasons and the state of my family I fell behind in a class. After seeking advice from the person in charge of my cohort (Sahid), they recommended me to move to another Cohort and assure me that there would be no other consequences but I had to start from day 1. Given my circumstances, although not very happy about it, I agreed. Soon after I received a message that I was removed from the program and...

    Software Engineering

    I had an amazing experience at Flatiron School! I attended the full-time, in-person (on Zoom because of covid) Software Engineering course at the Washington DC campus. The course focused on Ruby, Rails, JavaScript and React.
    All instructors and coaches were very helpful and always available to clear any doubts and answer all our questions. They are very knowledgeable and always made sure everyone understood the topics correctly.
    Finally, the career service was very helpful! At the ...

    Software Engineering, Web Intensive

    I originally signed up for the in-person immersive program before covid lockdown in New York City, March 2020. Once we went into lockdown, we were completely remote and everything was done via Zoom.

    It didn't quite change much except for the atmosphere (i.e., being at home and afraid to go outside).

    I had to take a leave of absence for personal reasons and the rules were very accommodating. My point of contact, while super busy, always made sure he was able to answer my que...
