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/

    Life changing experience!

    I was enrolled in the immersive software engineering course and I graduated Jan 2019. The admission and technical interviews were straight forward and really smooth. I chose JavaScript for my technical interview. I would recommend to work on the free prep as much as you could when you are just applying for the course. I also found it very beneficial after I got accepted to do all the pre-work especially for my first week.

    The insturctors are really good and they are available to ...

    Inexperienced/unqualified teachers, out of date curriculum

    The school described on the website is not at all the 'school' that exists once you've paid your tuition. There are no experienced teachers (my cohort lead is a recent grad with no coding experience, no teaching experience and she generally pretty awful). They are not selective in the admission process - people are rushed through and encouraged so join (pay!) and then drop out en masse. I'm a third of the way through the program and my cohort of 35 is down to 10. The curricul<...

    Online DS Full time

    This is a review for the online Data Science bootcamp full time. The admission process was fairly easy; first, a video chat with someone from admissions and enrollments and then a technical interview, for this second interview they assume you have already gone through the preparation course, heads up: this is a free course open to anyone, and after you finished it they ask you to review it, so a lot of the reviews out there are from people who have NOT actually gone through the full ...

    I’ve got a job now, but I miss Flatiron

    I attended Flatiron School London on the third bootcamp cohort. The support and community values were exactly what I needed when taking on such an intense curriculum. Not only is the teaching and material excellent, the career prep coaching played a key part in my job search. I received a job offer (at what flatiron advertised as the average starting salary) within 2 weeks of finishing the course. The instructors really did go above and beyond anything I had expected. My new job is great b...

    Amazing team and curriculum

    Coming from a background in business/management I joined Flatiron School to gain a technical skill. After completing the course I am now a Full-stack developer at Tried and Supplied, a recently launched start-up. I am the only developer on the team and I think that speaks to the level that Flatiron prepares you for.

    At no point throughout my time at Flatiron School did I think 'I can not do this' and I think that is due to the incredible people there. At each stage, from admissio...

    Highly reccommend

    I'm an alum from the Flatiron school's online web development program.  I really enjoyed the program and feel like the curriculum was really well designed.  Most lessons are short enough that you can feel like you are getting something done even if you only have an hour at a time to dedicate to the program, which was huge for me as I was working full time while going through the program.  The instructors were also really great - they have a lot of knowledge and I always felt like I learned...

    Immersive Software Engineering Bootcamp

    I chose to go to Flatiron School, in the Manhattan campus, after a lot of heavy research and planning. I was between this cool and mt seconds choice, but after reading a review about Flatiron on Quora that seemed to emphasize the human aspect of coding, & the "bootcamp-prep" platform that Flatiron made available to you for free, I chose them.

    There's a flexibility that's part of Flatiron's curriculum can be nerve racking because it really does all come down to how much work y...

    Boot Camp Prep Courses

    Flatiron School's online bootcamp prep shows how much effort they're willing to put into your success. They offer the prep coursework for free - you get to try out coding and see if it's worth your time/money and they get to know your work ethic/dedication level. The difference with Flatiron is that they WANT successful gradauates, their name and reputation depends on it. To this end, they go out of their way to provide a robust, easy to understand platform filled with instructional guidan...

    Bootcamp Prep Course

    For those like me starting out their coding journey, I strongly recommend Flatiron's Bootcamp Prep course. Whether or not you would like to do a bootcamp, this course is a great introduction to Javascript and Ruby, with lessons covering HTML and CSS as well. The topics are broken down into clear, concise, and useful labs. Best of all, the Ask A Question button allows you to get a speedy response whenever you get stuck. There are many great resources available to people starting out, but th...

    Online Full Stack Development Program

    I graduated from Flatiron School's Online Full Stack Development Program in March 2018 and I just accepted an apprenticeship at dream company in Philly.

    Flatiron BootCamp Prep

    I really enjoyed my experience with Flatiron's BootCamp prep. 
    The learn.co setup is satisfying in a myriad of ways. You learn what happens underneath the hood, as they explain what your code is doing.The problems are built on one another, increasing in complexity as you go.  Another perk is if you're stuck on a problem, you can inquire about it in through the chat function, and someone will answer pretty quickly, no matter what time of day.  Everyone I've encountered ...

    Bootcamp Prep Class online

    Flatiron has a free bootcamp prep class that is online and is a great resource if you want to move forward into a bootcamp class.   I found the information very thorough and understandable.  The best part about the Flatiron school bootcamp prep is the teaching assistants that are available for questions from 9AM- 1AM(midnight on weekends).  They were an incredible resource- so helpful and willing to chat online, or do a screenshare via zoom.  They were really an amazing asset and a great r...
