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/

    Tier 1 Experience

    The Flatiron School over delivered on their promise of teaching relevant coding skills and job placement. I found out about the Web Development program through a friend who had graduated from the Flatiron School and was now thriving as a developer at an early stage start up. I have since recommended the school as the best option available to anyone I meet seeking to begin a career as a programmer.

    My instructor, Steven Nunez, was one of the most engaging teachers I have had at an...

    Best money I ever spent

    Flatiron was a wholly positive experience for me AND it got me a new career that I love. I really feel that they prepare you with the skills you need to start a new career as a developer as well as the mental challenges that come with a change like that.

    Life Changing

    I began my studies at the Flatiron School in 2014 in the web development program.  I had very little code experiencing but I knew that this was a career path I wanted to take. I spent many years in retail as a buyer/merchandise planner but was getting bored with my career.  After considerable thought I decided to just leave my job and embark on this journey and I have never looked back.  

    Flatiron was warm welcoming environment, they provided me a solid coding foundation, gave me...

    Love What You Do

    Attending Flatiron School’s iOS Immersive Program was bar-none, one of the most life-changing decisions of my life. 

    Coming from a non-technical background, I’d always seen apps has “magic,” in the sense that, you downloaded it, and it just…worked. So the idea of making apps as a career was beyond daunting, but with the guidance and support of the fantastic instructors, classmates, and staff at Flatiron — the overall experience was enlightening and fulfilling.<...

    Flatiron School teaches not just coding, but how to THINK as a developer

    I completed the Ruby Bootcamp at the Flatiron School.  This was one of the most intense, memorable, and transformative experience of my life.  The fact that I have now mostly switched from Ruby to using full-stack JavaScript but can still apply what I learned in this program is a great testament to the high quality of the program.  While we on one level were learning the Ruby programming language (and then, once we had that foundation in place, building web apps with Rails),...

    Best Career Decision

    I attended Flatiron School as part of the school's partnership with NYC Talent Pipeline, which offered a full scholarship to underemployed/unemployed NYC residents (BK00 in the house).    My experience at Flatiron School was extremely challenging (get ready to learn at an intense pace) but the reward has been tremendous. Not just in terms of job opportunities but friendships forged with really smart and compassionate people. If you are considering a non-tradit...

    An awesome program

    I graduated from Flatiron School almost a 2 years ago now.  I was in the second iOS class they offered at the school, learning how to develop Objective-C for mobile.  Flatiron was a very rewarding 3 month process that helped me gain the valuable skills needed to work full time as a software developer.

    Thank You Flatiron!

    I’m a recent graduate from Flatiron’s iOS Development course. I came into the program with zero programming knowledge and determined to change my career. Flatiron’s education was crucial in my future success as a software developer. At Flatiron I learned to develop applications with a team and individually. I currently have two applications in the app store, and developing my third app as an iOS Developer freelancer.

    Learn to [love] code

    I attended Flatiron School's Learn Verified online web development course from February to October 2016. Overall, it was a great experience! The key difference I noticed between Flatiron and other bootcamps/schools is that Flatiron focuses on building a love and passion for coding while building the necessary skills to make a career switch, not just churning out people to get jobs. 

    The instructors were very helpful and the material was clear and concise.  There were some lessons...

    Flatiron School changed my life

    I was lucky to be in the first Flatiron class and since then the trajectory of my life has been altered in ways I couldn't have imagined. A rewarding career is the minimum students walk away from Flatiron with. The program also provides a supportive community and a transformative experience. As a graduate, I was able to get the job of my choice at Carrot Creative where I had a blast. Since then I've returned to Flatiron School where I work on

    Best school you could ever choose

    The Flatiron School is hands down the best school you could ever choose. Everything about the program beats any other program's offering by far -- from the instructors, course content, the other students, the culture, and more. I know many people that have done other programs and they don't finish nearly as strong of developers as those that have gone through Flatiron's program. Given how well Flatiron prepared me, I'm now running an early stage startup that I've built from foundations I l...

    Learned to learn

    Before Flatiron School I tried the self-learning approach a few times but never got over the proverbial hump. Flatiron School helped me learn to learn. I now work at a museum on multiple applications in several languages/frameworks. It worked out! I'm leaving only 4 stars in Job Assistance because as a student in the second cohort (early 2013) immersive programs were new and the school was still figuring it out.
