Frequently asked questions

No, this course is designed for beginners. It starts with the fundamentals of iOS development and gradually builds up to more advanced concepts using Swift and SwiftUI. However, background in programming or design will help you grasp the concepts of iOS design more easily.

You will need access to Xcode 26 and a macOS environment. If you are using Windows or Linux, the course also guides you on setting up cloud-based Mac solutions.

You will build a complete, SwiftUI-based iOS application with features such as search and favorites, which you can showcase in your portfolio. Great experience to talk about in interviews!

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
