Free iPhone App Building Course Starts In Manchester
By Jim Symcox on Feb 23, 2010 in Education, Manchester
The White Room in Manchester has launched a free course aimed at helping 18-24 year olds start in the media sector by designing original iPhone applications. 
The course is backed by Manchester Council, The Cornerhouse and Manchester Metropolitan University. And it will also teach a range of business skills
Over $3bn worth of mobile phone apps were downloaded in the last 2 years. So ideas for unique apps stand a good chance of making money.
To get on the course you need to live within Manchester council boundaries. You can be a recent graduate, unemployed or a part-time or full-time workers.
A training bursary is available and, even better, no technical ability is required.
Phil Birchenall, The White Room’s project director says: “What we need is plenty of enthusiasm and ideas, that’s all. We are looking for people that really want to start a career in the creative sector – we believe we will be nurturing some of the stars of the future.”
The App School is at www.appschool.co.uk and Phil is on 0161 446 2991. The school is also on Facebook.

Hi Rob,
Yes, it certainly sounds like a good course. I’m hoping that we’ll get news of what sort of apps come out of the whole experience.
