On-campus programs are held full-time and you are expected to be on campus for each day of class. The Flex and Live program use the same curriculum, but gives you the added flexibility of studying from home.
Coding bootcamps offer a lot of things. They offer an opportunity to learn the skills you need to launch a career at a relatively affordable and fast pace.
What’s required of you is to find the right bootcamp. Find a place that teaches in a way that fits your learning style, meets your price point and schedule, and focuses on the languages and skills that align with your career ambitions. If you do your research and find the right place for you, then attending the right bootcamp is definitely the right choice.
In sum, if your goal is to learn software engineering skills and to start a coding career, then the answer is an unequivocal ‘yes’ — good bootcamps are worth it.
Learn more about whether coding bootcamps are worth it for you.
In many ways, coding bootcamps definitely do work, and there’s a lot of proof behind that statement.
But it’s better to first ask yourself, “What do I want to get out of attending a coding bootcamp?” Asking yourself what your goals and ambitions are is how you’ll know if a bootcamp would work for you.
Some people want to just become acquainted with code, which is great, but a full-time bootcamp might not be the best route if you’re looking for a basic understanding of coding.
If your goal is to learn to become a software engineer, then yes, coding bootcamps do work.
While they vary with each course and each school, online coding bootcamps are short-term and often rigorous training programs to help students learn the programming languages and development skills they need to become professional software engineers.
We don’t require you to have prior coding experience to apply for the Software Engineering program. Our admissions requirements are being at least 18 years old, having a high school diploma or a GED, having a native or highly proficient fluency in English, and completing the admissions process.
Before joining your cohort on Day 1, you will have to complete around 40 hours of prep work to learn the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so you are prepared to get started straight away.
Our software engineering program offers a full stack web development experience. This means that you’ll learn to think and build like a software engineer by engaging with both front end and back end programming languages. The core languages taught at Flatiron School’s software engineering program are JavaScript, React, Python, and Flask.
The first step is to fill out a written application. Once submitted, you should hear back from our Admissions team within 2 business days regarding the next step. If your application is chosen to move forward, you will be invited to schedule a video call with a member of the admissions team to better understand your learning needs, career goals, and whether the program is the right fit for you. After this point, students receive an admissions decision within a few business days. For some programs, students must complete a technical interview when applying.
The Flatiron School Career Services team exists to help get you hired. We do this in two ways:
- Empowering stand-out job-seekers to learn to be no-brainer hires → this is what your Career Coach does!
- Building a nationwide network of hiring partners → this is what the Employer Partnerships team does!
You have a few options in terms of financing your enrollment in one of Flatiron School’s courses. See all of your options on our Tuition & Financing page.
We also offer initiatives that can help to offset the cost of tuition on our Scholarships and Diversity Initiatives page.
