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/

I graduated from the iOS program in the summer of 2014. I've been working at an awesome mobile agency building iOS apps for a wide range of clients for the past 2 1/2 years. Before applying to Flatiron, I knew that I needed to fully commit to an in-person program if I wanted to become a developer. Learning how to program part-time by yourself is very difficult and there's a tendency to not stick to deadlines. After just over two months at Flatiron, I had what I thought then was a solid grasp of iOS programming fundamentals. There's a huge learning curve in the beginning when you first learn how to program. The teachers distill the most important concepts so you don't get lost in the weeds. The TAs help you when you get stuck, and your classmates are smart individuals who help keep you motivated.
The criticism of bootcamps that they provide a shallow introduction to development is justified. The reality is that Flatiron teaches you just enough to become a productive developer. Where you go from there is up to you. In my first few weeks at work I quickly realized that we had learned just a tiny fraction of what we needed to know to become great developers. At some point you have to really develop a love for tech and programming. There will be a lot of nights and weekends spent solving very difficult problems. Over two years in, I still learn new things everyday and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I met some great friends at Flatiron and there was always a focus on placing students in programming jobs after graduation. If you're thinking of applying to Flatiron, don't look at it as your ticket to a cooler job and higher pay. That may happen, but I think the most successful students see Flatiron as a launching pad to help get them into a rewarding career. Oddly, you may end up working twice as hard in your new career, but so far I have yet to have a boring day.
