Testimonial:

“The diploma offered by LLI and developed by IIAD is cutting edge learning and practical hands on development. This course prepares the student for actually real time development working with companies doing projects in a collaborative environment, and mentoring them for their own start up tech companies.

Technology has changed so much in the past 10 years, so should the way students prepare for the real world. I am excited to see what this program does for the students and the city of London.”
