Delivered by industry professionals, The Mobile Academy offers a 10 week evening programme for those that want to “make it in mobile”. There are 3 streams - design, technology and business - and the programme offers practical workshops, clinics and talks given by experienced real-world practitioners – those have “been there and done it”, many from our Mobile Monday London community. Just like our community, the attendees are from right across the board – start-ups to corporates; marketers to developers and all age groups; it’s this diversity that creates a great learning environment – so our alumni tell us!
One of the principles of our programme is co-curation - meaning that tutors and participants get involved in the production of the course. To illustrate, here is a video made by one of our tutors, Ian Moncrieff MacMillan.
You can see testimonials from the previous programme, a sample programme, who's who and generally find out more at themobileacademy.org.uk.
