Mobile Development Training That Actually Prepares You
We started this program in 2023 because we kept seeing the same problem. Fresh developers would come to us with portfolios full of tutorial projects, but they couldn't handle real app maintenance work. The kind where a client calls because their payment integration broke after an iOS update, or users are reporting crashes on specific Android devices.
So we built something different. Our six-month intensive runs from September 2025 through February 2026, and it's designed around the actual support tickets and update requests we handle daily at Deadlytx.
You won't just build apps. You'll learn to keep them running.
Four People, Four Different Paths
Here's what happened when we stopped teaching theory and started teaching troubleshooting. These are real participants from our 2024 cohort, sharing what actually changed for them.
Vikram Taneja
Had built three practice apps following YouTube tutorials. Could create basic interfaces but panicked whenever something unexpected happened.
"I remember spending two days trying to figure out why my app crashed on older Android versions. Turned out I was using an API that wasn't backwards compatible. Nobody teaches you to check for that stuff."
Mira Vaswani
Switched from web development thinking mobile would be similar. Got frustrated when apps behaved differently than expected and couldn't figure out why.
"The breakthrough for me was learning to read crash logs properly. Sounds basic, but it changed everything. Suddenly I could actually solve problems instead of just guessing."
Jaxon Renwick
Now handles app updates for two local businesses. Recently migrated a delivery app to a new payment gateway without breaking existing functionality.
"The program threw us into real scenarios. Like when we had to update an app that hadn't been touched in two years. That's when I learned about dependency conflicts the hard way."
Callum Strickland
Provides ongoing support for a fitness tracking app with 3,000 active users. Manages bug fixes, performance optimization, and monthly feature updates.
"What I appreciate most is learning to prioritize. When you have fifteen bug reports and limited time, you need to know which ones actually matter to users."
How We Structure Six Months of Learning
The program runs three days per week, with project work filling the gaps. We built this around how mobile development actually works in Singapore's market, where most opportunities are in maintaining and updating existing apps rather than building new ones from scratch.
Months 1-2: Foundation
Understanding App Architecture
We start with reading other people's code. Not writing it, reading it. Because your first real job will involve an existing codebase, not a blank file.
You'll work with three production apps from our client portfolio, learning to trace how data flows and where things can break.
Debug Tools Mastery
Most tutorials skip this. We spend two full weeks just on debugging tools, log analysis, and crash report interpretation.
By week eight, you should be able to diagnose most common issues within thirty minutes.
Months 3-4: Real Problems
Handling Updates
This is where it gets practical. You'll work on actual update requests we've received, dealing with API changes, deprecated libraries, and compatibility issues.
One memorable project: updating an event booking app when the payment provider changed their entire SDK. That took our 2024 cohort three weeks to solve properly.
Performance Optimization
Apps get slow. Users complain. You need to fix it without breaking anything else.
We teach profiling tools, memory management, and the art of optimization that doesn't introduce new bugs.
Months 5-6: Client Work
Support Rotation
You'll join our actual support rotation, handling real tickets under supervision. Bug reports, feature requests, user complaints about crashes.
This is where theory meets reality and you learn to communicate with non-technical clients.
Portfolio Development
Your final project isn't building a new app. It's taking a neglected app and bringing it up to current standards.
Update all dependencies, fix security issues, improve performance, and document everything. That's what clients actually need.
What This Program Isn't
We need to be clear about something. This isn't a career guarantee program, and we won't promise you'll land a senior developer role by graduation.
What we can tell you is this: our 2024 cohort of twelve participants had nine people working on app-related projects within four months of finishing. Some freelance, some contracted support work, one joined a small agency.
The market in Singapore has consistent demand for people who can maintain mobile apps. Not glamorous work, but it's steady and it pays reasonably once you build a reputation.
- Classes run Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday from 7pm to 10pm
- Next cohort starts September 15, 2025
- Limited to 15 participants for proper mentoring
- Applications open June 2025
