Certiport - App Development with Swift (Certified User)

On this accelerated App Development with Swift course, individuals who earn the App Development with Swift Certified User certification exemplify knowledge of core concepts and practices that Swift programmers use daily and build a basic fluency in Xcode source and UI editors. Students will be able to create iOS apps that adhere to standard practices, including the use of stock UI elements, layout techniques, and common navigation interfaces.

At the end of this course, you’ll achieve your App Development with Swift certification.

Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology you’ll certify at twice the speed of traditional training and get access to courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.
