    Pretty great

    Made some great friends, got a job, worked my butt off. It's a great choice, but you have to work hard and really put yourself into it. Most weeks I was on campus 7 days a week.

    The more prep you do the more you'll get out of it.

    One of the best investments I've ever made

     

    Curriculum:
    The training program they've designed is not only well structured in content, but also well realized inside of a digital interface that helps you keep track of your progress, automatically track errors and partial completions, get a sense of your progress in comparison to others (for the competitive types), and communicate with instructors remotely. I went from knowing little to nothing about programming, to being confident in building my own a...

    Great for meeting employers

    Great culture. Great way to change careers. Great way to learn if you don't have too much engineering knowlege.

     

    I got a job at Venmo directly after completing their iOS course!

    Just do it. You won't regret it.

    Going to Flatiron absolutely changed my life. I'm a freelance musician with basically no resume, and within a week of graduation I was offered my dream job. 

    Any bootcamp will most likely give you the tools you need to become a good developer. There are two elements that I would say separate Flatiron from the rest. 

    Firstly, the technologies they teach are the most applicable to most jobs you will apply for. I was in the first cohort that was taught React.js, and I am w...

    Web Development

    Going to the Flatiron School was one of the best choices I have ever made. The curriculum is top-notch, the community diverse, and the philosophy sincere. This one is about education rather than profit. Though some students are quite advanced, coming in with CS degrees, the school is nurturing to newbies. Afterward, the job placement team prepared us pragmatically for the market and fielded me on many interviews. In my 180-degree career change, good structure and guidance as to where to pu...

    Flatiron Web Immersive 2016

    The Flatiron School was a game changer.

    While working in sales, I found myself looking for more challenging and creative projects on nights and weekends. A lot of tech friends pointed me in the bootcamp direction and after countless hours of research and debate over the right school for me, I wasn't convinced until I talked to a Flatiron Grad who graduated the year before. The way he gushed about his time at The Flatiron School convinced me I had to apply.

    My time at Fl...

    This will change your life.

    If you're reading this review, it means you're already looking for something new. Whether you're in a job you hate, you want a more interesting career, or you just want to add a new skill to your toolbox, Flatiron is one of the best options you'll find.

    I was a consultant in a previous life, but wanted to add value to society rather than major corporations' bottom lines. Because I was past the point of returning for another round of grad school, I decided on a coding boo...

    Best decision I have ever made

    In 2015 I decided that I was not happy with my current employment situation. I was working 50+ hours a week for little pay. I quit and decided to get into programming. I started out trying to learn on my own but I had trouble staying focused and had no feedback loop. I started researching bootcamps that would help me learn such a valuable skill. I applied to several bootcamps and was accepted to DevBootcamp, App Academy, and Flatiron School. I decided to go with Flatiron because of their h...

    One of the best experiences of my life.

    In a couple of days, I will start working as a developer at New York Magazine, all thanks to Flatiron School. I graduated from their NYC Web Developer program a couple of weeks ago, and ever since then, the Career Services has been super helpful and effective in making sure that I get paid to write professional code.

    It all started in July when I was exploring my options on how to move forward with my life. I’ve always been super interested in computer programming an...

    Faltiron School is life-changing and empowering

    Attending Flatiron School was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Not only is the curriculum rigorous and relevant, but the instructors are absolutely incredible- both as developers and as people. In addition to the planning and delivery of instruction, what makes Flatiron so special is the community. Of the many bootcamps out there, Flatiron is one of the few that intentionally and successfully creates access and diversifies the tech world. My class was composed of bright, i...

    Flatiron School Alum

    I had known for years that I was interested in writing code for a career, but I had no idea how to take the knowledge from two college introductory courses and turn it into a software development job. While exploring different post-grad options for learning how to code, I met some Flatiron Alumni who impressed me with their success in finding jobs after the program as well as the way they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the school. The Flatiron School's founde...

    Flatiron's free Bootcamp Prep track

    I spent a couple of months working through Flatiron School's Bootcamp Prep track at learn.co and had a really great experience with it.  I was doing it to see if I enjoyed coding enough to take the plunge into a bootcamp and now I am joining the February 2017 cohort.  I was really impressed at the quality of the lessons.  I got a solid foundation in both javaScript and Ruby, completing many labs and a couple of real projects.
