Whether you’re a new student just starting out or want to revamp your resume to get a boost in your career, Flatiron School offers multiple (and affordable) options to fit everyone’s unique lifestyle.

|
How it works: Students can choose between full-time or part-time courses that will help build skills necessary for a new job in tech. While both options are available online, Flatiron also has Denver, CO + New York City campuses for in-person courses. |
|
|
To see if Flatiron is a good fit, prospective students can chat with admissions virtually. | Photo provided by Flatiron School |
|
|
Flatiron School offers bootcamps in software engineering, data science, product design, and cybersecurity engineering in two formats: - Full-Time: Learn on a fixed schedule, roughly eight hours a day, Monday to Friday, in as little as 15 weeks.
-
Part-Time: Learn on your own schedule over 40 weeks.
So, you can select which pace fits your learning style + schedule.
Bonus: Students gain real-world experience through hands-on projects that can help build their professional portfolios.
Flatiron also offers graduates up to 180 days of one-on-one career coaching to help students succeed during their job search. Career coaches review resumes, help build a student’s online presence, and can even help practice interviewing techniques. Students can take advantage of Flatiron’s employer network for active career opportunities as soon as they graduate. How to apply:
Interested? Prospective students can chat with admissions virtually to see if Flatiron might be a good fit, then complete an online application followed by an admissions interview + assessment. Pro tip: Enrollment is open year-round, so you can apply anytime. See you in the (virtual) classroom, Raleigh.* |

Editor's pick: I spent a lot of time outdoors last weekend before Sunday’s heavy rainfall. I saw Fleet Foxes at Red Hat Amphitheater (and avoided wading in waist-high water when the thunderstorms passed) + watched “Judas and the Black Messiah” under the stars at NCMA. 🌟
