Qantm to offer design and coding lessons for Apple's handset starting in February
Digital media college Qantm has announced plans to offer an iPhone games development course.
Starting next year, 'the course is tailored specifically for designers aspiring to produce work for Apple’s iconic instrument'.
The London-based college has added the course, it said, in response to employment demands. The lessons will run alongside its established Game Design & Development Course and in time will also be offered at its colleges in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Amsterdam, Berlin and Munich. The iPhone Course will be open as evening and weekend classes from February 23rd 2009, costing £3,950.
Nic Oliver at Qantm commented: “With the games market exploding with next-generation activity and web designers in such high demand there's never been a better time to consider a career in interactive entertainment and new media. The iPhone Course is a great example of education and industry working perfectly together.
"At Qantm we work very closely with commercial organisations, which yields great dividends in terms of relevant and practical course content and, consequently, higher employment opportunities for our students.”

Wow, that seems a bit dear. I've been wanting to get into iPhone development, but don't have a Mac. I think I'd rather spend a couple of grand on a Mac and teach myself (learning much more in the process) than waste four thousand great british pounds on an unproven course.
Of course if they're willing to give me a freebie, I'll blog about it... ;-)
i don't know the first thing about coding, prob not a good place to start but £4000 is a lot of money to chance.
Seriously, that is way tooooo much...no?
Qantm is a part of SAE.
Don't attend anything these guys put out. Not worth it!!!

They must be off their rockers! It's too much, so no one even consider it!
It is expensive!
Any thoughts on this one
