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 literally saved my life. I was floundering around in the music industry going from gig to gig wondering would I would do for the rest of my life.
After a friend suggested coding, I began researching bootcamp programs and quickly came to the conclusion that easiest slam-dunk would be the Flatiron School.

Flatiron School literally saved my life. I was floundering around in the music industry going from gig to gig wondering would I would do for the rest of my life.
After a friend suggested coding, I began researching bootcamp programs and quickly came to the conclusion that easiest slam-dunk would be the Flatiron School.
Within 8 days of graduating I was hired as a developer at a prominent tech company in New York and my career prospects seem great.
There are four main components that really distinguished my experience:
Classmates
My cohort was filled with people who were there to work hard, be supportive and encouraging, and learn as much as they could. I learned with some phenomenally smart and creative people. Don't underestimate this experience - you need a strong support group when going through Flatiron.
Most of my classmates would agree that each student got out what they put in. Flatiron will do the best they can to guide you, but it is not handed on a silver platter. You have to do the work.
Curriculum
Flatiron's web-development course is a well thought out introduction to coding for the internet. While the course is based around Rails, now that I'm employed I realize that Rails - like every technology we use - is just a tool for getting a job done. Flatiron places great emphasis on teaching concepts, not just the tools. My job is 100% javascript but it doesn't matter - they taught me the basic concepts about programming, the internet, and problem solving I needed to get my job and succeed as an early developer.
I gave this category 4 stars instead of 5, as my course did not go over any front end frameworks besides jQuery. But fear not! Front end has become a much bigger part of the curriculum.
Teachers
I'll simply say that the instructors were knowledgable and helpful. They really want to make sure you are getting the help you need. Towards the end things shift and they start to take the training wheels off and start helping you to figure things out on your own. A really valuable skill in the workplace.
Placements Team
The job placements team is professional and tireless. Between the placements team and my own networking, I had something like 7 interviews my first week after Flatiron. Beyond that, the placements program does a great job of preparing you for interviews - mock cultural and tech interviews, alumni panels, student profile pages, and individual support as you go through connecting with companies down to negotiating an offer. The help the gave to so many of my classmates is almost worth the tuition by itself.
Summary
For those considering a bootcamp, I have to reiterate - getting into Flatiron is not a golden ticket. It worked for me and most if not all of my cohort, but I worked harder at it than I had anything in my life that I can remember. They will give you the tools you need to succeed, but part of the reason their track record is good is because they select people willing to give 100%. They've created this atmosphere of people pushing themselves and each other to be better. If you're serious about changing your life and becoming a developer, Flatiron is an excellent way to go.
