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.

It’s the moment you all have been waiting for… Congratulations to reader Julia T. (and family) for winning our Mural Bingo Challenge — and with great photos, too. 🎉
For the month of July, we asked you all to bask in the beauty of San Jose’s art scene by snapping pictures of murals around town + completing our bingo card.
Thank you to everyone who participated. Special shoutout to reader Linda T. who sent in not one, but three ways she got bingo — way to be out on the town. 👏
We hope you enjoyed playing our version of bingo, but tell us, what other kinds of games would you like to see us host next?
