    A life changing experience.

    This year I graduated from the Flatiron School Software Engineering Self Paced Online Course and it has completely changed my life. If you love programming and want to learn the skills necessary to get a career in programming I can't recommend it enough. My advice to anyone deciding to take the leap would be to immerse yourself in the content of the course, and go above and beyond to supplement the information in the course. If something feels hard, that's how you know you need to focus ...

    Positive and Negative

    I competed the full time online software engineering program at Flatiron, and overall it was a good experience.  My issues with the program design have been addressed with the newly revamped curriculum, which debuted right around my graduation date, so I'll leave that out.  
    Program/learning: My instructor wasn't very engaging, or organized, but our coach and the support team were all really great, so that helped balance it out.  Student services was quick to respond to an issue I had...

    Good overall with a few areas for improvement

    The course covered a wide range of materials over a 15-week period, which made it both comprehensive and at times unorganized. The best part of the course was career coaching/development. The course taught materials that are pertinent to entry-level positions and the coaches were really helpful at finding the right job afterward. However, I also think that the courses could've been more efficient and organized by cutting down lecture times and focusing more on labs. Some of the materials...

    Cybersecurity analyst

    the worst decision of my life, the flatiron cybersecurity program is nothing more than the CompTIA A +, CompTIA network and CompTIA security courses, summarized and without the possibility of certification,
    If you do not have any IT background, this course will not be able to hold you in any job position, in the group with which I graduated, not even those who had an agreement could get a job, one of them is even working in a pharmacy, another He got a job in real state, another still...

    Software Engineering

    I completed the fullstack software engineering program online through Flatiron School. I elected to complete the program part-time, over 10 months. The curriculum is separated into phases including Ruby, Sinatra/Rails, JavaScript, and React/Redux. At the end of each phase, you complete your own project (one of my favorite parts). I had the best classmates and instructor - Flatiron did a great job of building community, even in an online environment. The career services team is top notch ...

    Underwhelmed and overrated

    Get out while you still can.  This program offers 0 support for individuals that are struggling to grasp this material. 
    They don't support their teaching staff or their students.  
    They would rather offer settlements to individuals that request support then provide other avenues of access. 

    0 support after end of day
    0 support on weekends
    A severe lack of structure 
    You will be spending a ridiculous amount of money to sit online and be directed to watch YouTube vid...

    Software Engineering

    The decision to take the software engineering immersive has absolutely changed my life. The operations were handled wonderfully and I felt supported whenever I needed it and whatever I need. The instructors were fantastic. They do a wonderful job of teaching you what you need to know, but also forcing you to develop your own thought process and problem solving abilities. My career coach was extremely supportive both emotionally and technically. I am extremely grateful for everything Flat...

    I would recommend!

    I completed this course throughout the pandemic, and I recommend it to anyone looking to pivot their career into tech.

    I came from a background in advertising and Pastry cheffing, thinking that coding was the correct investment in myself for the future. I believe I made the right choice, especially opting for Flatiron over some of the other institutions I both researched and visited...when I was able to pre-pandemic!

    The curriculum covers a huge amount of content, starting ...

    SCAM!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LISTEN!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS SCAM OF WHAT THEY CALL TEACHING!!!! ALL THE REVIEWS ARE FROM PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE COMPANY! They say this is a hands on course and anyone can come and learn cybersecurity (LIES) however it is from that, when you ask a teacher for help you get told to google or YouTube.....OUR TEACHERS didn't even agree with the curriculum style to which he reached out to try to get help. They also go through teachers so fast that they have new teachers "WH...

    I feel taken advantage of.

    I had started a cohort, however after the first test It was suggested by my teacher that I join the next cohort to give me time to review the material more.  I sent an email to the student advisor to discuss what date the next session would begin and find out more information on the process of continuing my education. I was never responded to at least not for three months, not a word from them on what class I would be in or when the class would start (I had reached out several times ).  ...
