Candidates must have basic programming knowledge, understand development logic, possess English language skills at least at the Intermediate level, and be ready for intensive learning. The program is intended for those who plan to develop as trainers and educators in the field of iOS development.

As part of the course, participants will gain in-depth development skills: they will study the Swift language and work in Xcode, explore iOS application architecture, master interface creation using UIKit and SwiftUI, and become familiar with modern Apple frameworks, including ARKit and CoreML. Additionally, the program includes integration with web services and the development of a personal application. Special attention is paid to teaching methodology and the preparation of future trainers.

Upon completion of the bootcamp, participants will be able to apply for the status of Apple Certified Trainer, which grants the right to teach official company courses and train development according to Apple standards.
