// FLATIRON SCHOOL
Since 2012
Flatiron School trains people to build careers in technology. This page is home base for our students, alumni and the employers who hire them: what each program teaches, how our apprenticeships work and how to reach us.
Every Flatiron School program is an intensive, project-based course of study taught by people who work in the field. Our curricula evolve with the industry, so the descriptions below cover what students learn today and what earlier cohorts studied.
Students learn to collect, clean, analyze and model data, then turn results into decisions. The program now includes applied AI, from machine learning models to working with large language models.
Python, SQL, statistics, machine learning, data visualization, applied AI
Data analysts, data scientists, machine learning and analytics professionals
Students build full-stack web applications from the ground up, learning front-end and back-end development alongside the habits of working engineers: version control, testing and collaboration.
JavaScript, React, Python, SQL (earlier cohorts studied Ruby on Rails)
Software engineers and full-stack, front-end and back-end developers
Students learn to protect systems and networks: how attacks work, how to detect and respond to them and how organizations manage security risk.
Network security, threat intelligence, security operations, incident response, governance and compliance
Security analysts, SOC analysts and security engineers
Students learn to design digital products people can actually use, moving from user research through wireframes and prototypes to polished interfaces.
User research, interaction design, UI design, prototyping, Figma, design systems
Product designers, UX designers and UI designers
Programs run full-time and part-time, on campus and online. Graduates receive a Flatiron School Certificate of Completion.
Flatiron School was the first coding school to publish an independently examined jobs report, and we've reported on outcomes ever since.
Alumni stories
Asset Management Engineer, Caltrans
Milena spent five years as a structural civil engineer before training in data science with Flatiron, where she built a model that predicts the condition of US bridges. At Caltrans, she now puts her engineering and data skills to work together.
Business Intelligence Developer, Nautilus Insurance Group
After 12 years in banking, real estate and purchasing, Jasmine trained in data science with Flatiron. Within weeks of graduating, she was an actuarial data analyst, where she says her industry background let her solve real business problems “from a unique point of view.”
Senior Product Designer, AutogenAI
After five years in corporate law, Matthew trained in product design with Flatiron, then designed and built the platform that helped a seed-stage startup secure its Series A. He now designs AI systems and workflows at AutogenAI.
Flatiron School apprenticeships place trained talent inside partner companies, pairing paid on-the-job work with continued instruction. Employers get apprentices ready to contribute; apprentices get a structured path into the field.
Apprentices train in the same disciplines as our programs.
Instruction and mentorship continue throughout the placement.
Employers can convert apprentices to full-time hires.
