    Curriculum & Student Projects

    1,000 hours of industry-vetted curriculum

    Flatiron School students develop coding mastery in JavaScript and Ruby, as well as study computer science to ensure they’re highly attractive job candidates upon graduation.

    We designed our flagship online coding bootcamp and its curriculum to give students the necessary expertise in both back-end and front-end programming technologies to become hirable full-stack developers — able to land their first job in tech and leverage it into a lifelong career.

    Programming Fundamentals

    Section 1: HTML & CSS, OOP, Ruby, SQL, ORM

    After diving into HTML5 & CSS, students get comfortable with object-oriented programming, learning to read websites with Ruby and save data to a database with SQL and Object Relational Mappers.

    Web Frameworks

    Sections 2 & 3: Sinatra, Rails

    Students learn two key Ruby frameworks, first mastering the fundamentals of web programming with Sinatra before experiencing how quickly they can build incredible apps with Rails.

    JavaScript

    Section 4: JavaScript, React

    Students gain a thorough understanding of JavaScript and functional programming — crucial for front-end devs — and start to build their own version of React before moving onto the framework itself.

    Front-end Frameworks

    Section 5: React, Redux, JSON

    Students learn to build productive, scalable front-ends with React and Redux, creating slick, functional, reactive code with Redux as a state manager and Rails as the back-end JSON API.

    Establish yourself as a full-stack software developer

    Flatiron is more than just a web developer school — students don’t just ship code; they become full-stack web developers. Students build advanced Portfolio Projects to demonstrate their technical skills and creativity (previous projects have won prestigious tech awards, become MVPs for startups, and been presented at the White House) and immerse themselves in the technical community.

    Building complex applications at web-scale requires an understanding of algorithms and Computer Science fundamentals. By tackling an integrated CS curriculum, students gain an advantage in technical interviews and lay a powerful foundation to increase their technical depth throughout their careers.

    Active Github Profile

    GitHub is the modern source of technical résumés. Students push every line of code they write at Flatiron School to GitHub through our proprietary platform, Learn.co, giving them an extensive profile to show employers and fellow data scientists.

    Robust Blog

    All Flatiron students maintain technical blogs to show they can not only write code, but also communicate how that code works – an essential skill for software engineers. (Explore our community’s blog posts in Learn Magazine.)

    • “In my post-Flatiron job search I managed to completely avoid the soul-crushing trap of submitting résumés into the nether-world of online portals. They got me comfortable going to developer meetups, which quickly led to interviews and then offers. It wasn’t immediate, but it was swift.

      Oh oh oh — and on the job I accepted, their counter-offer was more than I asked for. Can’t make that up. I’d say that probably symbolizes my entire Flatiron School experience.”

She helped me build a résumé, a cover letter, gave me tons of advice on how to speak to recruiters and employers and provided moral support all the way through my job search.  In addition to that Flatiron has a resourceful Business Development team who provide you with leads you won’t find online. I wouldn’t be able to find my job without those guys.”

      Plus, Flatiron provides you with great resources post-graduation too. Graduates get free access to all their curriculums forever, not just the one you enrolled in. I now have access to courses on algorithms, mobile development, Java, node.js, and the ever-evolving curriculum on full stack web development.”

The entire program took four months to complete, and with the help of their career services team, I was employed 1.5 months after graduation. Thanks to Flatiron School, I was able to transition into a developer and double my salary. It is the best decision that I’ve made, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a coding bootcamp.”

    Admissions

    What the application process looks like

    We don’t just admit individual students; we curate a community. Our online coding bootcamp students come from myriad backgrounds and prior career paths — ensuring that a diversity of thought and perspective enrich every student’s experience.

    Application process

    What we look for

    1. Apply

    Submit a written application. Tell us about yourself and why you want to join our community.

    Passion

    We love software engineering, and so should you! We bring together people who see coding as a craft and want to be great at it — not just as a means to an end, but as an end in itself.

    2. Admissions Interview

    Chat with an Admissions Advisor in this explicitly non-technical interview. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little better. Nothing technical — just a friendly conversation.

    Aptitude

    Flatiron students are driven. While we look for students with an ability to transfer between different skill sets easily, above all, aptitude for software engineering is built from an innate curiosity about the world and how people interact with it.

    3. Technical Review

    After writing and submitting some code on Learn.co, students who apply for the Part-Time or Full-Time course will be asked to attend a live coding session with an instructor to assess your basic understanding of the material covered in our interview prep track. You’ll know if we are moving forward with your enrollment within four business days!

    An open mind

    We don’t admit students; we craft a class. A lawyer, journalist, and pro-athlete will all approach solutions differently — which means a richer learning environment and the opportunity for students to engage with different kinds of problem-solving.

    Application process

    • 1. Apply

      We love software engineering, and so should you! We bring together people who see coding as a craft and want to be great at it — not just as a means to an end, but as an end in itself.

    • Aptitude

      Flatiron students are driven. While we look for students with an ability to transfer between different skill sets easily, above all, aptitude for software engineering is built from an innate curiosity about the world and how people interact with it.

    • An open mind

      We don’t admit students; we craft a class. A lawyer, journalist, and pro-athlete will all approach solutions differently — which means a richer learning environment and the opportunity for students to engage with different kinds of problem-solving.

    FAQ

    You have questions; we have answers

    • How big are the class sizes?

      Full-Time Cohorts average about 20 students and Part-Time cohorts about 40.  

    • How do I know which course pace is right for me?

      Which pacing option is right for you depends on two main considerations — how much time you can devote each week and what kind of learning environment you want. The Full-Time and Part-Time course paces provide assigned cohorts and require a minimum number of hours per week to drive program completion. Some people want that structure and accountability and are ready to commit that time. Other people with unpredictable schedules require a bit more flexibility and less structure, so they prefer the Self-Paced program. The Self-Paced option is also a good choice for students with a bit of background in code to guide themselves through the coursework.Note, all three of our course pace options offer the same industry-vetted software engineering curriculum.

    • How long is each program?

      In the Full-Time Program, each of the five modules takes four weeks.  With one week of a scheduled break, you can expect the entire program to take five months. Students choose when to commit the 40-50 hours per week of coursework.

      In Part-Time, the modules take eight weeks and there are two scheduled one week breaks making the program last ten months. Students choose when to commit the 20-25 hours per week of coursework.

      In Self-Paced you’ll progress through each module at your own speed, but the entire program must be complete within fifteen months.

    • Is there pre-work?

      There is 100 hours of pre-work for the Full-time and Part-Time Structured courses. This is to ensure that students are all starting from the same point and prepared to move at the pace of the class when they start.
