Frequently Asked Questions
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 exposure from day one. Both award the same professional certificate upon completion.
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 one exception is the Accelerated AI Engineering Immersive, which requires existing software engineering experience (midlevel or higher) because it’s built for engineers who are already in production environments.
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 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.
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.
Yes. The AI & Data Science Certificate (Part-Time) is designed exactly for this. At 20 hours per week over 15 months, you can stay fully employed while building AI fluency at a sustainable pace.
