Welcome to Month of Swift

Starting Wednesday, August 11th, Certiport will kick-off the first-ever Month of Swift, an immersive online experience designed to help you prepare high school and higher education students for college or a career in iOS app development. 

Swift is a robust and intuitive programming language created by Apple that’s easy to learn, simple to use, and super powerful. It’s also one of the fastest growing, most popular open-source programming languages used by professional developers. In fact, some of the world’s most popular apps are built in Swift.

Accelerate your students’ future careers in the app economy with App Development with Swift certifications to help aspiring app developers stand out for their knowledge of Swift. And, learn from peer educators who are helping students compete for in-demand jobs in iOS app development.

The Month of Swift will feature
