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.

My take on the Flatiron School
I was a student at The Flatiron School for their immersive iOS program and I do not recommend this school. I had to make sure I graduated before I left this review because if they found out that I wrote a negative review while I was a student, there would have been retribution against me and they would have made my life miserable.

My take on the Flatiron School
I was a student at The Flatiron School for their immersive iOS program and I do not recommend this school. I had to make sure I graduated before I left this review because if they found out that I wrote a negative review while I was a student, there would have been retribution against me and they would have made my life miserable.
The job placement numbers are complete BS
They make misleading statements about job placements. Perhaps I am naive, but I believed the numbers I got from the Flatiron reps and what I found on Course Report were accurate. The Flatiron School reports that 95 % of their grads are hired in technical roles with 120 days and report an average salary of $74, 447. This couldn’t be further from the truth! They suggested I even try to find some entry level position even if it was at minimum wage. I couldn’t believe this. I really felt that I was lied to. I still am in touch with several of my cohort mates and many of them are still looking for work, 6 months after graduating. As another reviewer noted – “2 weeks before the end of the program, they pretty much tell you to take whatever job you can get, even if it's free or minimum wage”.
The iOS program
Their main program is Web development and Ruby on Rails and you can tell that their web cohort receives a lot more attention than the iOS guys. Their iOS curriculum is also not well thought out and rushes through the topics without going into any depth which I realized when I started interviewing. And their teachers lack professional experience. Code reviews is another thing that this school lacks. Keep these also in mind if you’re considering their iOS bootcamp. So in my opinion all this was definitely not worth the 15k that I spent.
