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/
Allow me to start with the opportunities: it took me longer than I originally expected to secure a position and I didn't expect to move when I was originally applying for the program.

Allow me to start with the opportunities: it took me longer than I originally expected to secure a position and I didn't expect to move when I was originally applying for the program.
I graduated from Flatiron School's iOS Development Immersive on August 26th, 2016. Prior to Flatiron, I mainly held various retail roles (ranging from entry level to leadership) & a strong passion for creating music. My introduction to coding was through Flatiron School's assigned pre-work (which is free and available to anyone prior to enrolling, becomes required once accepted).
The curriculum is awesome & breaks down as best as possible the fundamentals of Software Development to beginners. The "Learn" platform is modern & reallly kept me focused as it was always the first thing I'd see when I boot up my computer; it's wonderfully structured & continues to improve. That along with the lectures proved to be effective. My class went through an interesting transition, where we started off learning Objective-C, then about halfway through we switched to Swift. Flatiron made this decision based on Swift's growing popularity in the current iOS market. This proved to be challenging because we were never formally taught some of the more advanced nuances of iOS. However, with the fundamentals I picked up at Flatiron, I was able to self teach the rest of the way especially during project mode. In the end, I was really happy we switched to Swift because most, if not all, of the jobs I applied for were looking for Swift developers.
The instructors are very helpful and give you different perspectives on how to debug your code. If you expect the instructors to come over and give you the solution to your problem, you will be disappointed. They are there to push you in the right direction, it's important that you work through these issues on your own. Programming is the hardest thing I've ever picked up, but it's also the most rewarding once things start clicking and you stick with it! The instructors give lectures, are available for questions regarding labs & conduct assessments to gauge how well the students are picking up the content.
Flatiron's career services team may very well be the best part. I only say this because I believe you can get a similar education at a DevBootcamp or GeneralAssembly (minus the innovative Learn platform), but their business team is unparalleled. The immediate week after graduation, a "campus draft" (I believe this is called something different now) is conducted where the Career Services team partners students with employers who have openings in either intern or junior roles. You can tell there's a real effort to match students with companies that are a culture fit, which saves everyone time. Two of my classmates were hired out of campus draft.
I accepted a position as an Associate iOS Engineer at URBN (parent company of Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie & Free People) & decided to relocate to Philadelphia from NYC. I was put in touch with this company through Flatiron back in October & after a long, rigerous interview process, accepted an offer a few weeks ago. On top of it all, I met an amazing group of friends at Flatiron. I now have an incredible network of classmates who work for companies such as Intel, BuzzFeed, LinkedIn & MapBox to name a few!
If you take the bootcamp seriously as well as their career advice, you will secure employment. In the end, it is a very self driven program. With that said, I wouldn't have even known where to drive & Flatiron gave me that direction. I'm forever grateful & would highly recommend Flatiron School!
