Build Apps That Actually Ship

Most courses teach theory. We start you building from day one. You'll have three portfolio-ready apps completed before our September 2025 cohort wraps up. That's what employers want to see.

How We're Different

You won't spend months watching lectures. Our approach puts you in the driver's seat from week one, building real applications while learning the concepts that matter.

Code First, Theory Second

We flip the traditional model. You'll start building a simple app in your first session, then understand why it works. This sticks better than lectures ever could.

Real Client Scenarios

Every project mirrors actual client requests we've handled. You'll face the same constraints, unclear requirements, and technical challenges that come with professional work.

Personalized Review System

Your code gets reviewed weekly by working developers. Not automated feedback or generic comments—actual humans who'll point out what needs work and what's solid.

What You'll Actually Build

Three complete applications across different platforms and frameworks. Each one designed to showcase different skills employers look for.

Social Connection App

Build a location-based networking tool using React Native. You'll handle user authentication, real-time updates, push notifications, and map integration. This one typically takes 8 weeks.

E-Commerce Platform

Create a full shopping experience with Flutter. Payment processing, inventory management, cart functionality, and order tracking. You'll understand backend integration deeply after this.

Personal Finance Tracker

Your capstone project using native Swift or Kotlin. Data visualization, secure storage, biometric authentication, and offline functionality. This becomes your portfolio centerpiece.

Portfolio Work That Opens Doors

Here's what happens after our program. Graduates show their three apps during interviews. Hiring managers can download them, test them, break them if they want.

That's completely different from showing code snippets or describing projects. You'll have functioning apps with real features that demonstrate your capabilities better than any resume could.

Apps published on TestFlight or Google Play for interviewer access
Complete source code repositories with proper documentation
Video walkthroughs explaining your technical decisions
Case studies showing how you solved specific challenges

This tangible work changes conversations with potential employers. They see what you can do, not what you claim to know.

Choose Your Learning Path

Same curriculum, same projects, same outcomes. The difference is how you structure your time and budget. Both options start in September 2025.

Intensive Track

Twelve weeks, full immersion. You'll work 30-35 hours weekly on coursework, projects, and code reviews. Best if you can dedicate focused time.

Live sessions Tuesday and Thursday evenings
Weekend project work with instructor availability
Three portfolio apps completed by December 2025
Cohort of 12-15 students for peer learning

Extended Track

Twenty-four weeks at a sustainable pace. Expect 15-20 hours weekly commitment. Works better if you're employed or have other responsibilities.

Weekly live sessions on Monday evenings
Self-paced project milestones with flexible deadlines
Same three apps, more time to polish each one
Smaller cohort of 8-10 for more individual attention

Meet Jolene Hartwick

Lead Instructor & Mobile Developer

I've been building mobile apps since 2016, mostly for healthcare and finance clients. The technical part isn't the hardest thing to teach—it's helping people think like developers.

Before teaching, I worked at a Vancouver startup where we built apps for three different platforms simultaneously. That experience taught me what actually matters when you're under deadline pressure with real users waiting.

Most students come in wanting to learn frameworks. What they really need is learning how to debug their own problems, read documentation effectively, and make technical decisions with incomplete information. That's what I focus on.

I started teaching in 2022 because I kept seeing talented people struggle to break into mobile development. They had the drive but needed practical experience that traditional education wasn't providing. Our program grew from that gap.
