1-Year Professional Diploma

Diploma in Mobile App Ecosystem

This 1-year practical diploma is designed to take students from "Zero Coding Knowledge" to becoming a "Published Mobile App Developer." Unlike traditional degrees that focus on theory, the Rivendell approach is built on Micro-Projects. Students will not just learn code; they will build a portfolio. By the end of this program, every student will have successfully built multiple apps and faced the real-world challenge of publishing a live application to the Google Play Store. This course covers the entire lifecycle:
