    This is a great school.. Love it here. Only 6 days in a classroom and the rest of the 6 months is…read morehands on training.

    I have graduated from the 1300 hour program now so I have had ample time in this school…read more The amount of hands on practice you will get totally depends on you. Come in early to get more practice or stay late if needed. They are flexible with time. As long as you make the effort there is no problem. They push for you to use scrap metal from the Recycle bin daily to get the most use out of the metal. All you need is a beveled edge to weld so i am not sure what the real complaints are there. Even with the scrap pipe, there is always something to weld to, most time you just have to grind off a tack weld. People complaining about this are just lazy, there is PLENTY to weld on. As for complaints about Welding Rods, This is true, but this is all derived from the students again. If the students would Use the full rod instead of just burning the first 6 inches and trying to get a new rod this wouldn't be an issue. this is not an exaggeration... they will burn one rod doing one pass on some bevel plate then toss that rod for a new rod to run another bead so they don't have to work on their tie-ins. There is always plenty of gas to use for mig/flux and Tig. You can also work on a few side projects if you have time/motivation. My final note with this school is, if you do the 1300 hour program, there is really not much for you to do. It's just all extra practice. You have access to the High Frequency machine for doing some aluminium welding but there is really a limited amount knowledge from the instructors regarding aluminium welding. I learned most of what i know from youtube and trial and error. Plenty of time there at the school to try things, but not instruction when it came to aluminium. It would be nice if there were more exotic metals to work with for the 1300 hour program but they do not offer that, just additional time doing what you are doing in the 900 hour program. Pros: No limit to the amount of hands on you can do. You will use scrap a lot. Plenty of gas mig/flux/tig Cons: limited material types to use. (Carbon steel plate and pipe, stainless pipe, aluminum plate are all thats offered. There are a couple others for purchase tho.) Limited knowledge when it comes to aluminium welding from the instructors. Had fun, would recommend, Just don't be lazy, you have to burn to learn.

I was ready to start but couldn't because of technical issues. We had some problems setting up my test. When I left the testing room to get help she was helping someone else. I was not happy with the delays. A place like this shouldn't be having technical issues, they are a COMPUTER LEARNING center after all. One thing I did enjoy was that they were able to accommodate my request for a private testing area. The testing room was quiet and peaceful, with many other testers nearby. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to a friend. They did not offer flexible payment methods. and the delays (partially due to the fact that they have outdated computer equipment) were a deal breaker for me. Check out Excel Solutions Team instead.

    It's my first time taking a computer course with this company and I have to say that I actually…read moreenjoyed it. Great instructor and staff, everyone was so helpful during the process. I was impressed by the online instructor of the course. The instructor was actually online conducting the class with audio which I thought was interesting. Nevertheless it made no difference... It was still just as great as having the Instructor in person. Depending on the class you have various options to meet your needs. Plenty of breaks in between and a great feature to look forward to is having access to the course for an additional 6 months after completion and a certificate to add to your resume! Another interesting twist.. I would of never thought it would be in the same building as all of these high end interior design shops. So during your break it's always nice to skim through...

    Edit: written in early July on Google…read more This is a review only of the admissions process. N.B.: I'm already admitted, so this is in no way affecting my admissions. I just hope this helps people trying to choose a bootcamp (there are so many out there now). The Flatiron School offers programming bootcamps: Multi-week, 9am-6pm immersive in-person programs as well as flexible online courses. I had been following Flatiron for over a year when I learned some weeks ago that it's coming to Houston. It had originally appeared on my radar because it was one of the only schools at the time that 1) had built their own learning environment (like CodeAcademy's, but better, with a browser-based IDE), 2) had the size and history of operations to command the price tag and offer scholarships of various kinds, 3) achieved a 97% post-program hiring rate, and, perhaps as a result, 4) was one of the top 5 bootcamp programs as rated by SwitchUp. https://www.switchup.org/research/best-coding-bootcamps The tl; dr version is that the Flatiron team is awesome, I got in, and I start classes in ten days. But more importantly, I want to discuss how personal the whole Flatiron experience has been. Once I learned about the Houston launch via MeetUp, I went to the WeWork space to meet the team. Both Houston WeWork buildings (one near Main St. in Downtown and the other at the Galleria) are beautiful spaces. Flatiron really put in the effort to boost the new Houston campus and community; I first met Jeanette and Trey of the Houston team on the night that their CEO flew down. They since have organized and led events multiple times a week, and upon talking to them and learning about the Facebook scholarship, I applied right away. The application is a four-step process: 1) Written application; 2) Initial (fit?) interview; 3) Prework: the preceding step to the technical interview is Flatiron's bootcamp prep course, free and available online. This alone is already great learning. And whether you really have learned it or not comes through - ideally - at your: 4) Technical interview. They say that when a startup launches, a hundred champions of the company are better than a thousand users. I am that willing champion for Flatiron. Why I'm sitting here writing this lengthy review on volition is because my whole interview experience - from getting to know the team to finishing my interview - has been beyond incredible. The people at Flatiron go out of their way to cheer for you. They don't front - the work is rigorous, and the interviewers grill you enough to gauge whether you'll be able to handle it - but they are professional, kind, and encouraging throughout the process. It was readily apparent to me that Flatiron has a phenomenal team of people with strong communication and pride in their work. That, for me, already built credibility and faith in the education I would be receiving. Furthermore, I appreciated how everyone went the extra mile to really hear my story and check in on me to see that I'm staying on track through the prep. I truly felt supported - and, as a result, became more invested. When was the last time you had people outside your group of friends and family root for your success - and so earnestly? I never thought I would be so moved by complete strangers in an application process to a bootcamp. Well, strangers no more. I'll be seeing them for at least 525 hours. I am also grateful to Facebook for sponsoring the inaugurating Houston class. I fully understand that someone/some people at Flatiron worked hard to pioneer and maintain that relationship - whoever they are, I am deeply grateful for making life changes possible. If I sound way emotional - I am! I've been trying for years to get an edtech idea off the ground - and now I get to learn to build it myself! From a team of really awesome people! Flatiron, thank you for everything you're doing to offer people chances to make a change :) Can't wait for classes to start!

    The distorted mix of 1-star and 5-star reviews should have been an early warning sign for me that…read morethings are not what they appear at Flatiron School. Flatiron is marketed as a school for all (based on its pictures and website), but in reality, I felt like I was walking into a Jewish yeshiva. The culture is cult-like and toxic, driven by a fear of not fitting in or falling in line. Their curriculum is also mostly self-taught... there are better learning environments, for sure, where they're not just looking to take your money.

    This is for the San Francisco, CA location because I can't find the review page for it…read more.. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with ONLC ! To be honest, I was a little skeptical and hesitant since most of the reviews at the other locations did not seem to be as nice. I signed up for ONLC because I was trying to find a place that offered in-person, live training for Google sheets. I was bummed to find out that it actually wasn't in-person training that was offered, but I'll share more later as I still quite enjoyed the instructional format. Someone named Laura emailed me 2 days before the class, letting me know about instructions into the building where the class would be held, and connecting me with a contact person. Around this time, I was also emailed some data and the manual for the class. Since the class started at 7:00 am PST (because the instructor was on EST), I had to head out quite early to get to San Francisco by 6:45 am ish to park and meet the contact person, since I live in the south bay. Laura had already let me know about where to park (as well as pricing), and the contact person was ready to meet with me on the 35th floor of the building where the SF location is. The ONLC office is small, with only two workstations set up, and nothing else. I was the only student that day, which I quite preferred as an introvert. The contact person made sure I was comfortable, and let me know where the restrooms and breakroom was. He also gave me an elevator key and the room key to the ONLC office, and let me know about special things such as the Jabra device and how to communicate with the instructor. The skyscraper that ONLC is in is basically just tons of offices that are rented, and so the ONLC office is one of many offices on that 35th floor. Unfortunately, the ONLC office was a room that didn't have windows, but some that were unused did, so I got to check out the view from those unused rooms. The computers were already set up remotely. There were 3 monitors: 1 monitor with the manual, 1 for my workspace that the instructor could see, and 1 that was the instructor's screen where we could follow along. The instructor spoke very clearly, and she was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the topic. Also there were only 4 students total, so it made it easy for the instructor to track our progress, as she could see all of our screens on her end. Even though it was not a live training, it really felt like the instructor was doing her best to keep us all on track, help us out, and make sure nobody was behind. There were 3 breaks, one 10 minute one around 8:00 am ish, a 1-hr one around 10 am ish, and another 10-minute one around 12:30 pm ish. The entire course lasted until about 1:30 pm PST. I think it could be nice to sign up for another ONLC course at the San Francisco location ! I only wish the class wasn't so early as I know it was following the EST time zone. Maybe next time I could just do the remote option as well, but it was also nice having everything set up already at the San Francisco Office.

    Truly garbage. My company offers a stipend to spend on training and I chose ONLC due to having a…read morelocal Fort Worth campus. It was not a campus. It was a closet sized room rented out in a shared work space. The instructor was a retired coder who was not familiar with the current version of .NET and advised against the book, that ONLC provided. A waste of 4 days, no value here.
