The following are testimonials from
students who have attended our classes.
“I teach typography and design at Parsons School
of Design and New York University. But when I want to learn computer
graphics software, I go to Noble Desktop. They have far and away
the best computer classes I have taken anywhere.”
Mara Kurtz
President
The Type Director’s
Club
“We really liked all of the instructors, we were
lucky and had four! They were all extremely patient and never looked
bored or disgusted with any of our inquiries no matter how mundane.
I appreciated the fact they took time to explain everything first,
and never thought they were too technical, just very practical. We
really enjoyed our time at the school and felt a little sad when
it ended. These classes really reaffirmed my faith in the computer
and my ability to use it. I will not hesitate for one nanosecond
to recommend your place to everyone who needs training at all levels.
Thanks again!”

“I have just completed Adobe Photoshop and Adobe
Illustrator at Noble. Noble Desktop, LLC gave me irreplaceable and
unforgettable knowledge with friendliness and professionalism. Thanks
Noble.”

“I flew to New York from Jamaica
for Photoshop, HTML, and QuarkXPress training. All of the classes
were great and it was worth every dollar. I especially liked the
small class size and the patient, competent instructors.”
Henriette Hofmann

Jamaica International Newspaper, Ltd.
“I’m a smart guy and an experienced desktop
publisher. Once upon a time I experimented with Quark and thought
I intuitively knew everything I needed to produce a professional-quality
newsletter. After taking Noble's class, I realized I was wrong. Nothing
compares to hands-on training and specialized attention from an industry
professional. My instructors at Noble knew Quark inside and out,
and were able to transfer their knowledge to me quickly and painlessly.
Not only did I learn a great deal about Quark's features— transparent
and complex—and how to layout a top-quality document, but I
also learned some tricks of the publishing trade that I would have
never learned otherwise. The teachers are insightful and dedicated,
the environment is pleasant, and the exercises comprehensive and
enjoyable. I unreservedly give the class my highest possible recommendation!”
Aaron Schnore

“Noble's Photoshop class gave me a new, higher
standard of excellence in computer classes. A solid curriculum, well-designed
practice exercises and an instructor who knew his stuff and was a
good communicator added up to the finest class I've had by a longshot—far
better than those I’ve taken at Parsons and Pratt. I expect
to be back for more in the future.”
Debbie Binderman

“I found the written exercises provided by the
instructors to be invaluable. Immediately after my Photoshop class
my employer expected me to begin working on scanned images, and I
was able to use the exercise sheets from class as guidelines and
modify the steps to fit my particular project. Not only did this
get me through my first few projects, it also helped me begin thinking
critically about Photoshop, as I would have to evaluate why a certain
step in the guidelines would or wouldn’t work for my project.
The exercises truly augmented the already thorough instruction I
had gained in the classroom setting.”

“I wish I knew English as well as I know Photoshop
after the class!”
Alessandra Picozzi

“I must say that had I not motivated to take the
Photoshop course you offered, I would not be where I am today professionally.
It gave me the basic skills and confidence to launch a career as
a designer in digital media.”

“Your school is unquestionably the best experience
of any school I have been to. Out of CompUSA, Wave Design, Parson's
and SVA (whom I sued and won) Noble Desktop has the best syllabus
and the most patient and articulate teachers (no question was too
small nor any problem too great). I finally understand how to use
the pen tool and I would sign up in a nanosecond for another course.
I have recommended Noble Desktop to all my friends and colleagues
who were deliberating over which school to go to. Thank you.”
Marcy Pesner
Freelance Graphic Designer
“I took my first class (QuarkXPress)
at Noble Desktop, LLC in January 1992. In three weeks I learned and
retained more than I normally would in a semester at a traditional
design school. I gained a working knowledge of Quark, but more importantly,
I learned shortcuts and tricks most teachers wouldn’t dare divulge.
I enjoyed the classes so much and was so impressed with the teaching
style, I took three other courses and encouraged friends and colleagues
to register for classes as well. The thing about Noble classes that
sets them apart—you actually look forward to attending class!”

“I think the class was excellent both in content
and method of instruction. I would definetely recommend it to others
and expect to take other classes at Noble.”
Luciano Ruiz

“The class content and pace were perfectly balanced.
Each session was planned and timed for learning the most within the
time allowed without overloading me with new information. I left
each class feeling I had really learned something concrete and the
next day at work I was able to apply what I had learned right away.”
Patricia Thompson

Book-of-the-Month Club
“I have been raving about the class to anyone
that could possibly find it useful. It was more informative than
I thought I needed, but I’m already using most of what I learned.
Also, I made some good contacts with my classmates. AND, I had so
much fun!”
Deirdre Newman

“This course was exceptional!!! I feel I learned
a great base for HTML programming and the learning environment was
exactly how all computer learning environments should be. And our
instructor, Dave Schaffer, was very helpful and ready to answer any
questions about programming, the industry and even design ideas.
Noble Desktop is THE place to go if you want hands on computer training!!!!.”
Risa Goldman
Office Manager
Simon & Schuster Pocketbooks
“Noble's classes are heads, shoulders and perhaps
even an entire torso above any other computer training I’ve
had. The major difference for me was the instructors. They not
only had the requisite technical expertise, but also a surprisingly
intimate working-knowledge of the industry as a whole, as it is
currently. That allowed me to gain an understanding of how a particular
application worked with others under real-world conditions, and
how my electronic files would best accommodate the needs of a printer,
pre-press house, or graphics output service.”
Steve Berkey
President

“I think the QuarkXPress course did an excellent
job of covering the basics, and the 'extras' in a short time period,
with just enough depth to make it manageable, not overwhelming.”

“This class (HTML) kicks [butt]!”
Sakinah Jenkins

“The [Illustrator] class was terrific. I particularly
enjoyed the salon-like relaxed atmosphere compared with the factory
feeling at SVA courses with overhead projectors, broken computers,
etc. I was able to ask questions whenever I needed which is reassuring.
And you were available for extra help. Very nice. Particularly valuable
to me was all the paperwork you provided per class. It is bound in
my notebook and I can refer back step-by-step when I need to brush
up on something. This reference is a quick key and less intimidating
than going straight to a book. Your class was a great start. Thank
you so much.”
