I don’t have any programming experience. Can I still take this program?
Absolutely! This program starts from the very basics of programming and takes students to a junior developer level.
Will I learn iOS or Android development?
This program is built around iOS Development. We do 100% native Swift development for the Apple platforms. The experience you gain in this class can help you branch out to other systems if that’s what you want to do.
Can I do game development in and after this class?
Game development is not specifically taught in this program. However, you will have all the necessary tools to build your own game.
Will I learn SwiftUI or UIKit?
Both! Because SwiftUI is so new UIKit is still a much needed skill to have in the industry. You will also learn the newer SwiftUI framework later in the program.
Admission requirements may be met by taking the Entrance Assessment OR by providing qualifying documentation. The Entrance Assessment can be taken at a Testing Center, and qualifying documents can be sent to transcripts@mtec.edu.
