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, FTW.*

Reby’s accomplishments were honored with a new street sign. | Photo by The City of Fort Worth |
City leaders and community members gathered over the weekend to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Reby Cary with the unveiling of a new street sign.
Reby was a Fort Worth native and made history as the first Black man elected to the Fort Worth ISD School Board in 1974. He was also the first Black professor at UT Arlington and helped establish the McDonald College of Industrial Arts for African Americans in the Riverside area. He died in 2018.
On Saturday, Reby’s accomplishments were honored with a black and gold sign at the intersection of East Rosedale Street and Plaza Circle. Reby was one of the driving forces behind the revitalization of the Rosedale area and helped organize government agencies to help stimulate the economy in the neighborhood.
