Course pace options
Paired with our Instructor-led online classroom featuring our Cyber Range sandbox environment, and individualized support from an Educational Coach, all students have access to a personalized learning experience. Choose from two different program options, each tailored to give you the flexibility and structure to support your success.
Graduate in 4 months with the accelerated course pace: full-time. Expect 30–40 hours per week of coursework and benefit from dedicated, full-time learning. This option requires the most commitment — you’ll attend 8 hours of live study groups per week (typically in the afternoon), complete group projects, and collaborate with others in your cohort throughout the day.
Graduate in 8 months at a pace that offers the same curriculum as the full-time program. Expect 15–25 hours per week of coursework and benefit from a structured, yet flexible, schedule designed to keep you on track.
Your day at Flatiron School
