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.

I completed the Flatiron Bootcamp Prep course. The self-paced course is taught online through the Learn.co website and through the Flatiron Learn IDE. It provides an introduction into Javascript and Ruby with a few sections on HTML/CSS. Students can post questions about lessons to seek help from other students and from Flatiron instructors.

I completed the Flatiron Bootcamp Prep course. The self-paced course is taught online through the Learn.co website and through the Flatiron Learn IDE. It provides an introduction into Javascript and Ruby with a few sections on HTML/CSS. Students can post questions about lessons to seek help from other students and from Flatiron instructors. These instructors are very quick to respond (nearly always within minutes) and offer web conference sessions to help students with their questions.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Bootcamp Prep and highly recommend it. To me, the one standout feature was the Learn IDE. I have tried a variety of free programming courses online covering a variety of languages; generally, most expect the student to set up their own development environment or to use an online interpreter. However, Flatiron provides its own IDE (a customized Atom editor) that is fully integrated with the course.
When I finish coding a lesson assignment, I simply type "learn" into the Learn IDE's terminal to run tests on my code to check if it fulfills the assignment. Once I pass all the tests, I type "learn submit" which pushes my code to GitHub. Now, when I switch back to the Learn.co website, I see the lesson is already marked as complete. My "offline" progress on my computer is automatically synced with my Flatiron Learn.co account.
Beyond the amazing user experience, I greatly appreciated how closely this system matches how a real programmer works. The Learn IDE is based on Atom, a very popular editor used by actual programmers. The use of this IDE helps build foundational skills and familiarity in subjects rarely found in “Introductory”-type courses. You gain familiarity with project folders and their structure. You get a first look at GitHub and gain some (simplified) exposure to a Git workflow.
The big bonus was exposure to running test cases. The Bootcamp Prep lessons come with tests written in real testing frameworks (Mocha and RSpec). Many lessons encourage you to run the tests first before writing any code to see what test fail and use this information to help formulate your code. This is good practice for writing code and this prep course helps build some early familiar with test driven development/behavior driven development.
These aspects really helped set the Flatiron Bootcamp Prep course apart for me. It is a high quality course when considering the lesson content alone. But the inclusion and integration of the Learn IDE really propelled it to another level. The Bootcamp Prep punches far above its weight for a prep or introductory course
