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 program

    I graduated from the online full stack web development course, and now I'm working for the Flatiron School in person as a Technical Coaching Fellow. I learned a ton from the course, and got a lot of value from periodic code reviews from instructors on projects. Having studied to become a teacher before getting into code, I have a great opportunity now to combine the two, and do what Iove. I'm proud to have graduated from the Flatiron School, and I'm even more proud to work for them now, an...

    Honest Review of a Flatiron Grad

    Attending Flatiron School was the best decision I have ever made. The discovery that coding is my passion and destined career path came long delayed, after I had graduated with a degree and pursued a career in finance. The idea that I could transition into the tech world through a "bootcamp" within a matter of months as opposed to going back to school was truly unbelievable and unrealistic. However, after due diligence of research on coding bootcamps and discovering that this is in fact a ...

    Flatiron Bootcamp Prep Course Review

    I found The Flatiron School's Bootcamp Prep course to be a great introduction to Javascript, Ruby and HTML. The course is free and there is a very strong community that helps you with any questions you may have. I found the support extremely helpful as they are able to screenshare so you really understand how to solve any issues that may come up. I do not know of any other bootcamps that offer such a supportive resource for everyone for free. This was a big factor in me ultiatmely deciding...

    Admissions process/prep course

    I've been accepted to the Flatiron School in-person NYC software engineering program and am super excited to begin the course in the coming weeks.

    I participated in their accelerated bootcamp prep program (ABCP) as part of my application preparation, and then completed some additional modules from their regular, non-accelerated bootcamp course as well. The ABCP course was amazing in that it included live classroom sessions with a really great Flatiron instructor. You could either a...

    Bootcamp Prep

    When I had first encountered Flatiron School, through social media, I was a bit skeptical.  I had taken a programming course or two during high school and college.  I considered programming to be too complex and unrelatable to be understood.  I signed up for Flatiron School's free content out of a renewed interest in programming and, in part, whim. (Their advertisement was spiritually compelling.)  

    After diving into JavaScript, I was impressed by how the content was explained, t...

    A Year Ago I was Here Reading Reviews...

    A year ago, I sat voraciously reading reviews on various bootcamps based in NYC(or remote). I saw the awesome reviews of Fullstack Academy, Flatiron School, General Assembly, and App Academy. I thought to myself that there's no way there could be story after story of success and life changing events in the short amount of time given in a bootcamp. After careful consideration, and pain points applying to other schools, I decided to put my trust in Flatiron School.

    I was way off abou...

    Amazing Bootcamp Prep Course!

    Flatiron's Bootcamp Prep course is free, very easy to use, and integrates an IDE into the browser as part of their learning platform. The lessons are thorough and are succeeded by labs that test what you've learned. They have extremely knowledgeable technical coaches that help people in real time with any difficulties that might arise in passing the labs or understanding concepts.

    Everyone I have encountered, from the technical coaches to the admissions advisors, have been a ple...

    Wonderful experience!

    I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my experience at Flatiron. Every person I interacted with was incredibly kind and supportive. Flatiron has done something magical, combining a great education with an online community that values positivity. Both the coding curriculum and the career assistance place an emphasis on having a growth mindset, and it's remarkable and transformative to begin the program often needing help and then to become the person who can help others. Practically speaking...

    A great experience

    I can honestly say that going to Flatiron was among the best decisions of my life. It's not for everyone, but if you want to pursue coding as a career and have some financial flexibility, I'd recommend it. The environment is invigorating and you won't meet nicer, more encouraging people.

    Great experience from admissions to class

    Just enrolled for one of the in-campus cohorts. The whole process from the admission process to the first day in class, was not only painless but empowering. One thing that stands out about Flatiron School is how passionate their staff is, honestly that was the main reason I decided to join. Everyone from the admission personel to the instructors and the students reflect the Flatiron values, and they all are invested in helping you succeed, getting to know you as a person and working with ...

    Great Program

    I graduated from Flatiron's School's Learn.co online program while working full time, and about four months later started working as a Developer. The curriculum and its labs, community, and career services made this a unique and effective program that helped me change careers and spend my days coding (which is the best!). The curriculum guided me through what I needed to learn, and the labs were difficult and challenging (loved that part of it). The community is a great place to get help w...

    Best Pre-Course by FAR!

    I am currently set to start with Flatiron in Washington DC, and I have been working through the pre-course work. I was previously accepted into two other coding schools, and I worked on some pre-work for each school before committing to Flatiron. Right from the start, I was able to see a clear difference in the quality of Flatiron's curriculum compared to other schools. It is very demanding and challenging, but there are always instructors available to help during their specified hours! Th...
