3 Challenges.
180 hours.
A whole lot of fun.

App development goes beyond just writing code. It requires creativity, research, and design thinking to create an app that makes a difference.

This 180-hour course is divided into 3 exciting challenges. Each challenge is your chance to put your newly acquired skills into action, working alongside fellow students to dream up, design, build, and present your own app.

Applying for Swift Accelerator

Application Process

Part 1

Application Form

Applications are now closed.

The form will take about an hour to complete.

The form contains several questions to gauge your suitability for the programme. These questions include:

  1. Coding and Logic: 4 questions

  2. Design: 2 questions

  3. Written: 2 essay questions

Please attempt these questions in examination conditions. Do not discuss the questions, look up answers, or share the answers.

This will allow us to best evaluate if Swift Accelerator is right for you.

Part 2

Evaluation Activity

After reviewing your application, selected applicants will be asked to join us for an evaluation activity.

You will be notified by 25 February if we require you to join us for the evaluation activity.

This 45-minute activity will be conducted virtually, on Zoom, from 28 February to 2 March and is intended to help us better understand you and how you work.

Do note that an invitation to the evaluation activity is not an indication of acceptance to the programme. Application results will release on 5 March by the end of the day.

The Swift Accelerator Alumni Community

More than just a class.

The Swift Accelerator Community Conference 2023 was an event planned and hosted by the alumni community for students in the programme in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates to connect and collaborate.

This programme is supported by our extraordinary alumni community. From planning events to mentoring groups, these alumni have played a pivotal role in the last 8 years, helping to shape Swift Accelerator.

Your journey ahead.

Designed by an incredible team of Apple Certified Trainers, refined over 8 years.
