Learn Mobile Development From People Who Actually Build Apps
We've spent years building custom mobile solutions for Australian businesses. Now we're teaching what we've learned—practical skills you can use right away. No fluff, no outdated theory. Just real development experience passed on to people who want to build things.
Our next intake starts September 2025. Classes are small because we actually work with each person individually.
Tobias Lundgren
"Switched from hospitality to mobile dev after this program. Built my first client app three months in."
Kieran Macleod
"Finally understood how apps actually work. Not just syntax—real architecture decisions."
Rory Donohue
"Learned more in 6 months here than 2 years trying to figure it out myself."
How The Program Works
We break it down into stages. Each one builds on what you learned before. You'll work on real projects from week one—not hypothetical exercises.
Foundation Month
Weeks 1-4Start with the fundamentals—mobile architecture, UI frameworks, and core concepts. You'll build a simple app that actually does something useful. Most people are surprised they can ship something functional this early.
Building Phase
Weeks 5-12Here's where it gets interesting. Work on progressively complex projects. API integration, data persistence, authentication. We throw real problems at you—the kind we deal with in client work—and help you figure them out.
Advanced Topics
Weeks 13-20Performance optimization, testing strategies, deployment pipelines. You'll also start your capstone project—something you'd be proud to show a potential employer or client. We've had students build everything from inventory systems to booking platforms.
Portfolio Development
Weeks 21-24Polish your work, write proper documentation, prepare for technical interviews. We review your code like we would on our team—honest feedback that makes you better. By the end, you'll have a portfolio of real work, not tutorial projects.
What You Actually Learn
These are the skills we use every day building apps for businesses. Not trendy frameworks that'll be obsolete next year—core abilities that matter.
Native Development
Build for iOS and Android using the tools and languages each platform was designed for. You'll understand why certain decisions make sense on one platform but not the other.
Backend Integration
Apps need data. Learn to work with APIs, handle authentication, manage state. We cover the messy reality of connecting mobile apps to backend services.
UI That Works
Design interfaces people can actually use. Responsiveness, accessibility, navigation patterns. We've seen too many apps that look good in screenshots but feel terrible to use.
Testing & Debugging
Finding and fixing problems is half the job. Learn to write tests that catch issues before users do, and debug efficiently when something breaks in production.
Deployment Process
Getting your app into the app stores is its own challenge. We walk through the submission process, dealing with rejections, managing updates. All the stuff they don't teach you.
Working With Clients
Technical skills alone won't cut it. Learn to gather requirements, communicate about technical constraints, manage expectations. The soft skills that separate good developers from great ones.
Small Groups, Real Attention
We cap enrollment at 12 people per cohort. Why? Because we actually review your code, answer your questions, and help you work through problems. You can't do that with 50 students.
Classes meet twice a week in Darlinghurst. Plus you get access to our workspace during the day if you want to work alongside our development team. Some students find that helpful—seeing how professionals handle day-to-day work.
Between sessions, you'll work on assignments and projects. Expect to put in 15-20 hours a week outside of class if you want to keep up. This isn't a casual thing.
Who This Program Is For
We get people from all sorts of backgrounds. Career changers, junior developers who want to specialize, entrepreneurs building their own products. What they have in common: they're serious about learning and willing to put in the work.
You don't need prior development experience, but you should be comfortable with computers and willing to think logically about problems. We've taught people who've never written code before—but they were the ones who stayed late asking questions and debugging on weekends.
If you're looking for an easy path to a high-paying job, this probably isn't it. But if you genuinely want to build mobile applications and are willing to struggle through the learning process, we can help you get there.
Next Intake: September 2025
Applications open in June. We interview everyone who applies—want to make sure this is a good fit for both sides. Program runs 24 weeks, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6-9pm.
