    From English Major to Software Engineer

    A big part of my first few days at Flatiron was sharing with my classmates "What We Were Before." Most of us had been program managers, business analysts, or marketers. Some had been data scientists. One was a circus acrobat. I was an English major who, to tell the truth, had had terrible luck on the job hunt.   When I applied to Flatiron, I had only a cursory understanding of...

    Great Curriculum being Tirelessly Improvement

    As a student at the Flairon School one of the most impressive aspects was the level of commitment of my classmates and other students.  Arriving early and staying late are common and everyone is super motivated to learn as much as possible each day. I think an environment like that is actually pretty unique and difficult to find or recreate. 

    After graduation I was asked to stay on at Flatiron as an Instructor.  That experience has literally changed my life. The students I have w...

    A new trade. A new life.

    I was an Accountant for 7 years before deciding to switch careers. I had ZERO programming experience but always dreamed of becoming an iOS developer. I was obsessed with apps and I wanted to build them for myself.

    I had the choice of a few reputable coding bootcamps in NYC to choose from, I decided to go with Flatiron School. I was a part of the iOS-004 class which began in February-2015. It changed my life. It literally changed my life. From the new friends I m...

    Life-changing

    I did the web development fellowship program in 2014.

    The curriculum was excellent and prepared me very well to rejoin the workforce as software developer after not working for three years. I had about three distinct job offers upon graduation and worked at Dow Jones and Kickstarter since. Stongly recommend ! Best learning experience of my life.

    The Flatiron School Changed My Life

    Deciding to attend The Flatiron School was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that forever changed my life. 

    From Day 1, I knew my class was in for something special. I’ve literally never seen such a deep level of caring, anywhere. Everything we did at Flatiron was carefully crafted to ensure we got the most out of the program, and that we learned in the most optimal way possible. There was meticulo...

    Lessons learned for life

    My time at Flatiron School was excellent, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone considering applying. When I signed up for the web developer course, my only goal at the time was simply to learn Ruby. After 12 weeks, I got so much more than that. Two takeaways I want to share with you: 1. You can do so much more when you work with your team. Flatiron School provided a positive and supportive environment for students to collaborate on projects together. Think about it: no company...

    Hello! I am a graduate of the 2013 Fall Web Development immersive, and I also worked for a year and a half as an Instructor, so I am one of several that has experienced Flatiron School from both a student perspective and an instructor perspective.

    Notes From A Recent Flatiron Grad

    I graduated from Flatiron's Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp (online/remote program) about 3 weeks ago and I have already had interest from potential employers. 

    I strongly recommend the Flatiron program to anyone who is serious about learning to code. I am not a STEM person, I came from an arts and humanities background and I found the Flatiron curriculum to be fun (and often very challenging) but always instructive. The instructors were always available to answer my questions ...

    Best investment i ever made

    Very efficient way to teach people how to code by using hands-on approach and collaboration. Turns out, 3 month in enough to get skills to be able to solve complex tech problems at work. Mostly it comes from the fact that they not only teach specific tech topics, but how to solve problems in general.

    Job placement is great, the students are expected to do their part (i.e. building projects and writing tech blog) and the school does a great job matching students with companies.

    Online Full Stack Web Development

    Flatiron's online full stack web development porogram was the curriculum I needed to transition from a career in financial services to a career in tech. 

    I did a number of online resources prior to discovering Flatiron and found the curriculum to be top notch and I was grateful for the way it was structured. It does a great job at building on top of previous lessons and is a great way to reinforce learning. 

    Another great thing about Flatiron's online program is the awe...

    BE CAREFUL!

    BE CAREFULLY!!
    Some of the advertising like "Don't pay if you don't have a job". That is right. You have to understand the word they are playing. If you join to this school with that program, you have to pay even you work at the job which does not related anything to what you have learned from this school. For example: If you join for a Full Stack Dev then you work at Walmart for $15/hour, then you still have to pay. (Their threshold is ~$3000/month). If you make less than ~$3000/mont...
