What is the Work-Integrated AI Engineering Immersive?

The Work-Integrated AI Engineering Immersive is a paid apprenticeship program where you learn AI engineering while earning income through real production work. It's 100% online and comes in two pacing options:
AI Engineering Immersive (19 months) Built for learners without prior software engineering experience. You'll spend the first four months building full-stack software engineering fundamentals, then move into AI and data science coursework alongside your apprenticeship starting in Month 5 (Months 5–19).

• Tuition: $29,900
• Bletchley Scholarship: $10,400
• Your tuition commitment: $19,500
• Apprenticeship earnings: ~$19,500
• Program cost: $0

Accelerated AI Engineering Immersive (16 months) Built for engineers who already have production coding experience. Your apprenticeship starts in Month 2 alongside the AI coursework; Month 1 is a condensed coursework start plus a group collaboration project that prepares you for the apprenticeship match.

• Tuition: $14,900
• Bletchley Scholarship: $3,000
• Your tuition commitment: $11,900
• Apprenticeship earnings: ~$26,000
• You come out $14,100 ahead

The apprenticeship is ~20 hours/week in a production-aligned environment, supervised by a workplace supervisor. Flatiron handles employer matching — you don't need to find your own placement.
Seats are limited and competitive. To see whether the Immersive or Accelerated track is the better fit, the best next step is a conversation with admissions. Apply at https://work-study.flatironschool.com/
