Frequently Asked Questions
Data science bootcamps offer a lot of opportunity for anyone looking to break into data science. Though different bootcamps and courses vary, most of them have one goal: to help you learn the skills you need to become a professional data scientist.
Your responsibility is to find a course that teaches you the right skills in a style that aligns with your learning style. That’s why, at Flatiron School, we offer courses full-time and part-time, on-campus and online.
If you have a clear vision into your career ambitions, find a course that teaches you the math skills & languages and other data science skills that align with those ambitions. If you do your research well and attend the right place that works for you, then attending a bootcamp is definitely the right choice.
Basically, if you want to become a data scientist, then good bootcamps — and especially Flatiron School — are a good choice for you.
Each data science bootcamp varies — they teach you different skills, languages, disciplines, all in different ways and styles — but generally the term “data science bootcamp” means an accelerated learning program that helps students learn the skills they need to become data scientists.
If you consider “working” to mean that a bootcamp helps you land a new data science job and career, there is a lot of proof that our courses work.
But if you want to just dabble in some data analytics but aren’t looking to switch into a data career, then perhaps a data science bootcamp isn’t the right option for you. Bootcamps take a lot of commitment, time, and discipline to excel at — it’s the type of commitment that would make sense for someone who wants to start a new career, but probably not for someone who’s just interested in learning a couple of new skills or hobbies.
But if you’re looking to start a career in data science, then good data science bootcamps are a good and efficient route to pursue that ambition.
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 will have an initial meeting with your career coach during the program to get acquainted with the process. Once you’ve graduated from the program you’ll work with your Career Coach on how to maximize your opportunities and efforts for landing a job. It is important to note that, like with our course, you must come prepared and committed. Your Coaches will help you to get organized and prepare you for interviews, but it is up to you to do the heavy lifting as well.
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.
If you would like to connect with a member of our team, please simply schedule a chat with one of our admissions representatives.
