FAQs
Yes. Certificate programs (Part-Time) are designed exactly for this. At 20 hours per week over 15 months, you can stay fully employed while building skills at a sustainable pace. These are built for working professionals who want to upskill and add technical depth to an existing career without stepping away from their current role.
Flatiron facilitates the employer match. You’ll work approximately 20 hours per week in a production-aligned environment alongside your coursework. Apprenticeships are paid and supervised by a workplace supervisor.
If you have production coding experience – frontend, backend, or full-stack, and you feel the pressure of AI reshaping what it means to be a strong AI or cyber engineer, you likely qualify. This isn’t a beginner course; it’s a rigorous upskilling path for engineers who don’t want to lose momentum. Speak with an Admissions rep to confirm. If you don’t have that background, the Work-Integrated: AI Engineering Immersive is the right work-integrated option for you.
Most programs have no prerequisites. You just need to be 18+, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and have English proficiency. Whether you’re a recent grad, someone transitioning from a non-technical field, or a working professional looking to pivot, you’re eligible. The only exceptions are the Accelerated AI Engineering Immersive and the Accelerated Cyber Engineering Immersive which require existing software engineering experience (midlevel or higher) because they're built for engineers who are already in production environments.
Certificate programs are purely educational. You learn, build a portfolio, and graduate ready for the job search. If you’re entering the workforce or transitioning from a non-technical field and want a clear, structured path, this is for you. Work-integrated programs combine coursework with a paid apprenticeship, so you gain work experience and income during the program. This is a strong fit for professionals who need income continuity during a pivot, or experienced engineers who want production AI or cyber exposure from day one. Both award the same professional certificate upon completion.
