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.
Flatiron School was one of the first bootcamps in the industry and a pioneer in providing 3rd party examined job placement reports. Read their full independently-examined jobs reports at: https://flatironschool.com/jobs-reports/
A year ago, I sat voraciously reading reviews on various bootcamps based in NYC(or remote). I saw the awesome reviews of Fullstack Academy, Flatiron School, General Assembly, and App Academy. I thought to myself that there's no way there could be story after story of success and life changing events in the short amount of time given in a bootcamp. After careful consideration, and pain points applying to other schools, I decided to put my trust in Flatiron School.

A year ago, I sat voraciously reading reviews on various bootcamps based in NYC(or remote). I saw the awesome reviews of Fullstack Academy, Flatiron School, General Assembly, and App Academy. I thought to myself that there's no way there could be story after story of success and life changing events in the short amount of time given in a bootcamp. After careful consideration, and pain points applying to other schools, I decided to put my trust in Flatiron School.
I was way off about the success stories. Flatiron School is the real deal. Every single person on their staff believes that you have the ability to change your life and supports you in every way possible. I went through the Online Full Stack Web Developer program, and I learned SO MUCH. But, I struggled, and struggled, and leaned on my instructors, the community, the Flatiron Staff and they showed me how to get through it all. I learned how to deal with being overwhelmed, how to look up the things that I didi't know, and also I learned the right way to ask for help. From the staff, to the student community, you have genuine help and also people to commiserate with as well.
The entire online course is extensive. Everything is Test Driven Development, meaning that your job is to get your tests to pass for each lab. You must use Github every day, and by the end of it, you'll be so used to committing, and using GH, it'll be second nature. Flatiron teaches you to be able to develop applications from scratch and teach yourself anything you may not currently know. Avi Flombaum is the man and instills a curiousity in all the students at Flatiron School.
One minor issue with the curriculum, is their Front End Section(HTML, CSS, Responsive Design). You go through a long arduous section on dated approaches to front end. You build a Real Estate business website, but it becomes absolutely worthless after you complete the section. It would be much more impressive to end up with a portfolio website so that you can continue to work on it after you're done with that section of the curriculum. I would be much happier if this section was teaching CSS Grid, Flexbox and teaching you how to approach the design choices when building a site rather than solely taeching you the technical intracacies of HTML/CSS.
Overall though, Flatiron was an incredible experience and I wouldn't change my mind if I were to do it again. I met so many cool people, made friends and continue to meetup on campus to shoot the breeze / code. After a stellar job by their Career Services team, I accepted a Full Stack Dev position with a small company out of Brooklyn, NY. I start next week and I'm super excited!
I really mean it when I say Flatiron School changed my life, but not in the way that I expected. I thought I would go through the curriculum quickly, land an amazing job and be on with my life, but it was something much better than that. It really taught me to enjoy the journey, to be curious with your code, and to never stop learning.
A big thank you to everyone at Flatiron who believe in their students and make our success, their success. It does not go unnoticed, that's for sure. I would love to one day return and work on Learn.co as a dev, but for now I'll spread my wings into the wild.
