A structured cybersecurity path for professionals pivoting from non-technical careers and engineers ready to evolve their stack. Our new work-integrated programs put you in a paid apprenticeship while you earn your Cyber Engineering credential.
Two paths into cybersecurity. One mission: protect what matters.
Earn while you learn through paid apprenticeships at real companies. Start defending systems from day one — or fast-track if you already have IT experience.
Build security skills on your timeline — full-time or part-time. From networking fundamentals through threat analysis and incident response, graduate with a portfolio that proves you can protect.

The Apprenticeship
The Bletchley Fellowship is a program of the Bletchley Institute, an independent nonprofit focused on making work-integrated education accessible. Flatiron School handles the education. The Fellowship handles the apprenticeship side, sourcing partners, matching students with placements, and funding the scholarship that makes the financial model work.
The Fellowship exists for a specific reason: to ensure that every fellow graduates with real work experience and without education debt. When you enroll in a Flatiron work-integrated program, you are also applying to the fellowship. Acceptance to the Fellowship is what unlocks your apprenticeship placement and your scholarship.

“I spent eight years in finance before Flatiron. The apprenticeship gave me real production experience that no traditional program could match — I was building payment infrastructure before I even graduated.”
Rachel Torres

“Flatiron's AI curriculum didn't just teach me theory — I was training models on real production data during my apprenticeship. That hands-on experience is what set me apart in every interview.”
Kwame Asante
