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/

    Passion for music + Flatiron School => chance to be a developer at Spotify

    It's an amazing time to work in tech, but this journey is not for those not willing to fall down repeatedly and get right back up. I joined Flatiron's web development immersive in its early stages (3rd session in summer of 2013) and it was an intense experience of gaining the superpower to build anything with code.

    What Flatiron gives you is a chance to focus all your energy for 12 weeks in learning and building as much as you can, with individuals who are as talented, di...

    Best decision I ever made

    Back in 2013, I nervously left my job to join the 4th class at Flatiron School. I'd met a few alumni and the interview process gave me confidence in the decision, but it was still a big move. From the very first day of class, I knew I'd made one of the best decisions of my life.

    I'd done a little programming on the side before attending, but the amount I learned in the first few days along put all of that to shame. The instruction was incredible, and it was amazing to see how qui...

    Best thing I've ever done

     

    Going to Flatiron was the best education I received and most life changing experiences I've had to date! 

    Prior to attending Flatiron, I was a marketing manager at a not-for-profit. Knowing that I wanted to make a career change and interest of diversifying the tech space, I was beyond fortunate to have my organization's support when they sponsored me to attend Flatiron. In addition to sponsoring me, upon return, I would come back full time as a jr....

    Web Development Immersive Review

    I went through the Web Development Immersive at the Flatiron School in the summer of 2014. It was a fantastic experience that I have recommended to friends and family.

    The course prepared me for my software engineering career in two big ways:

    1. It helped me learn enough about web development to get my foot in the door at my first junior dev job.
    2. It helped me understand how to continue to grow my knowledge of software development and computer science as ...

    Saved my life

    Flatiron School literally saved my life. I was floundering around in the music industry going from gig to gig wondering would I would do for the rest of my life. 

    After a friend suggested coding, I began researching bootcamp programs and quickly came to the conclusion that easiest slam-dunk would be the Flatiron School.

    Within 8 days of graduating I was hired as a developer at a prominent tech company in New York and my career prospects...

    Excellent Decision!

    I just recently graduated from the Web Development Immersive course and will start searching for jobs soon. Overall attending Flatiron School was one of the best decisions I've made, based on:

    1. Top notch curriculum, and labs that help you learn the material

    2. Classmates are all great people who challenge you to bring your A-game every day

    3. Career Services pros who know what they are doing and generous with their time and expertise

    My experience at Flatiron school

    I was in the first batch of iOS dev program at Flatiron. I came from an engineering background, but had no prior experience in programming. By the end of the program, I was making iOS apps and shortly after that, I had a job as an iOS developer in a startup. Joe was an amazing instructor. We had people with different levels of programming experience in our group, and he handled that really well. I got my first job through Flatiron School. They help with interview prep, putting students in ...

    How I co-founded a Series A-funded business

    I attended Flatiron School in its 3rd cohort and went on to build a successful startup as its technical co-founder. 

    Flatiron School was instrumental to my success. 

    Here's what I learned at Flatiron School that is unique and valuable:

    1. Coding is fun -- I learned programming in Flatiron's social environment -- where people get excited about what they're doing -- and work together through thick and thin
    2. Being a great...

    Excellent Career Change Program

    I graduated from the Web Immersive in December 2015 (web-0915). After finishing the program, I went on to help teach the online program at Flatiron School. Even though I currently work at Flatiron, I will still try and give my honest review of the program. 

    Before starting at Flatiron I was working as a mechanical engineer and had no solid programing experience. I had followed along some programing tutorials for iOS and Android apps as well as gone through some short online progr...

    Life changing!

    Flatiron School is a perfect amalgamation of skillful staff and course work along with the most effective and supporting community of developers. I graduated the iOS development program in May 2015 and the was immediately able to start my career as a software developer specializing in iOS. The Teachers and TAs were awesome and the Business Development team was extremely helpful in the process of introduction with hiring companies.

    It is one of the best decisions I've ever made. 3...
