    A Worthy Experience

    I think Flatiron School is doing something right. I moved to New York literally the weekend before the program started and think it was all worth it. The curriculum is well structured and everything builds on top of itself which is reflective of how a real curriculum should work. I enjoyed the fact that I got to work with people of very diverse backgrounds as well as on my own in the final module. It allowed me to work on the softer aspects of software development which I genuinely needed ...

    A life changing experience..

    I can sum up my Flatiron experience in a few points:

    - Excellent curriculum that deeply teaches you the fundamental skills you'll need to succeed in the industry.  I'm not just referring to Ruby and Javascript conventions and syntax.. I'm talking about mindest, routine, confidence, perseverence, resourcefulness, and many more invaluable skills.

    - I landed a Software Engineer role at a tech startup before I even graduated (still technical...

    One of the best decisions of my life

    Before attending Flatiron School, I went to a community college and studied computer information systems with hopes of becoming a web developer after graduating. Unfortunately the curriculum at that other college was lacking and I was not at all prepared to get a job as a developer. After several years of trying to learn more on my own, I decided it was time to look into these coding bootcamps I'd heard about.

    After doing a lot of research, I decided to apply to Flatiron School a...

    Golden Ticket to Software Engineering

    I decided to transition my career into Tech back in December of 2016. At the time I had not written a single line of code and had no clue what I was doing. I started the in-person Flatiron School Software Engineering Immersive course in March 2017, and graduated late June 2017. In August 2017, I accepted an offer and am currently a Software Engineer working at a start up specializing in software and data science consulting thanks to the Flatiron School!

    Top notch program, from beginning to end, including the job assistance from my couselor Katie. I was in the Learn.co, online program as I needed flexiblilty and it all worked out perfectly, completed in about 6.5 months. It's was hard work, no doubt about it but I never felt like it was undoable because the assistance was always there, quick and just one message away, plus the opportunity to live pair program if you needed more in depth help or guiadance. I graduated and definitely felt re...

    Great Immersive and Online program

    Amazing program, you learn so much so fast.  Everyone from fellow students to instructors want nothing more than to see you succeed.  

    It really is hard work and day to day you will leave each day exhausted but recharged the next morning.  After graduation is an uncertain time, but you need to stay busy with personal projects and expanding on everything you have learned.  The job market is very competitive, don't expect to be guaranteed a job just for graduating. You have to cont...

    Best Educational Experience of My Life

    Just a pre-emptive note that, since I'm still an active student, I cannot comment on the efficacy of their job assistance.

    So, I've noticed that many of the "most helpful" reviews are 1 to 2 star reviews from anonymous users stating that the curriculum is disorganized, their job reports are falsified, etc. After 11 weeks in the program, I can safely say that many of these are either trolls or people who are flat-out lazy. The curriculum is "disorganized" in the sense that you won...

    Great Online Program

    After evaluating all the options for coding boot camps I decided on Flatiron. The comprehensive curriculum and learn at your own pace were attractive to me. As is the job-guarantee. I was confident I could get done quickly and save myself some cash along the way, which I did.

    Career services post graduation was top notch. In addition, I have access to this resource for as long as Flatiron exists (I think they'll be around a while).

    Bootcamp Prep

    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 hel...

    Online Bootcamp Prep and Learn.co

    I have been teaching myself to code for several months now. I've bounced around through several online resources (Coursera, Codecademy, Free Code Camp, etc.) and they all helped but some moved too quickly through the material or got pretty advanced while I was still lacking a strong foundation, I started to search for more of a full program option, that's when I started looking into attending a coding bootcamp.
