Is Swift Certification worth it? The Crydd Verdict
CS 83Choose it if
You are learning iOS development and want an official, recognised Swift credential — especially as a student.
Consider alternatives if
You already ship apps — the App Store is your portfolio, and it outweighs the certificate.
Why we say so
Official Apple backing gives it strong recognition, particularly in education and for early-career developers.
Market demand
iOS remains a major mobile platform; the official Swift credential is well recognised, though hiring favours shipped apps.
