It was beneficial to know that I am on the right track with some techniques and valuable to learn aspects of the program that I have not used correctly or to the fullest extent. The instructor and instruction was clear and easy to follow without being condescending. The techniques I learned will allow me to be more organized, efficient and skillful in my use of FCP. My class at Noble was time will spent.” |

The Advanced Dreamweaver Class opened up new doors to better design techniques for web and most importantly my mindset is looking at the web in CSS vision. Whoa! Think CSS, build with CSS, integrate CSS in the beginning and help the future of your web site. Perhaps CSS is the "greening" of the world wide web? Go Dan!” |

I have also taken classes at NYU, The New School/Parsons and Pratt and hands down Dan is the best instructor I have ever had (including myself!). And for an audience who can read at a high school level, the handouts and CD of example files of the exercises covered in class, are the best I have ever seen. If you want a class without much theory, that is 100% practical and that will make you feel empowered and excited about using the software being taught, Noble Desktop is the best school!” |

Ethan is a great teacher and really knows his stuff. The class covered all the basics and the hands on exercises were perfect in reinforcing what our instructor was showing in class. Ethan took the time to go over specific things not included in the syllabus but the class had an interest in. I would definitely recommend this class...I am kicking myself for not taking the class earlier and making life easy. ” |

| “I am so happy I finally took a web class at Noble Desktop. I've put off learning web design programs for 4 years and just getting by with the little knowledge of hand-coding and HTML that I knew. However, now with Dreamweaver CS3 there has been no better time to catch up with the web world and quickly and effectively make my own websites and start creating them for others on a larger scale, professionally. Noble made the learning so easy by optimizing their computer set-up paying attention to every detail to make the best learning environment. The Dreamweaver class was clever, pace was good, fast computers and all the latest software. Hands-on training is the best method for learning. Good job, Noble.” |

| “The instructor is how I usually judge the value of the class. If the instructor is good, the class is usually good. Laura was great. She knew Photoshop inside and out; knew the feature differences between CS, CS2, and CS3. I don’t believe anything was asked in class that she was not able to answer. She paced the class well (DIDN'T rush through the exercises so that we (she) could get out early) and provided good info and examples that were above and beyond what was in the training material; good information about color correction and file types, etc. I would absolutely take another class of hers.” |

I'm looking forward to the Super Advanced Flash class.” |

Flash, a-ah, he's a miracle Flash, a-ah, king of the impossible
He's for everyone of us Stand for everyone of us He saved with a mighty hand (ahhh, ah) Every man every woman (ahh, ah) Every child - he's a mighty flash (ahh, ahh, ah).” |

I was sent by my job (Prudential) and my whole department raved about Noble before I came - and now I see why. I feel the instructors' approach is very practical and they left me with a strong foundation on which I can expand and learn more. I believe Noble is so successful because of their real commitment to education and helping people understand and apply what they learn. I was really impressed when I was leaving my Photoshop class on the last day and the instructor was giving away his phone number to a student who needed more help developing his personal/business website - it seems that you come to Noble to just "take a class" but you leave with friends that are willing and committed to help you long-term.” |

I also want someone who has already figured out which parts of the software program I need and skips the rest. Noble Desktop is perfect for this. I have taken two classes -- 10 years apart -- and both delivered the goods. The curriculum was comprehensive, well-organized, precisely targeted to its stated audience and professionally delivered. The handbook was a bonus. It is well-designed, including the examples (no small issue to a graphic designer), well-written (no small issue to a literate graphic designer) and carefully typeset (no small issue now that we're all typesetters, too!). Yes, I did read that book!” |

First, you motivated me with your very informative free classes to take the full blown Dreamweaver and now I can't wait to come back for Flash & Advanced Dreamweaver - now, if I can only retain everything that was taught in my class to take control of my website. Thanks!” |

This could easily be a recipe for disaster. Instead, Victoria took the material and walked us through it like only a really great teacher can. Even thought there were probably 20 people in the class, she provided individual attention and was truly motivating. I would definitely take a course at Noble again and I would recommend Noble--and especially Victoria--to anyone.” |

Covered all the basics and more (including the style sheets, master pages, complex find/replaces). This is the perfect class for the seasoned Quark user who fears InDesign... I was converted by lunchtime the first day. Dan knows Quark inside-out and backwards, and was able compare and contrast the logic of the two programs -- a total expert who speaks plainly and succinctly. I'm so impressed, I really want to take more courses at Noble Desktop now.” |

“The instructor for the course was excellent. She was a professional who obviously has worked on websites for many years, and has a variety of clients who like her work. She was also had an ability to understand the problems faced by newbies and to explain exactly what she means. This is an unusual quality for a techie. Her speech and enunciation were clear and her spoken sentences grammatical. She was also exceedingly polite and respectful to every student. These qualities are not what one would ordinarily expect in a trade school. I had previously taken an HTML course at NYU night school, and the Noble instructor was far superior to the NYU instructor.
The equipment for use in the class was state-of-the-art and well-maintained. There were none of the usual glitches one finds when using equipment at a school.
There were no restrictions on the use of the equipment--if you wanted to check your e-mail, you were free to do so.
The teaching method is uniquely Noble's--during the lecture, you listen and do not follow along (although you may follow along on computer if you choose to do so). After each lecture (about 1/2 hour to one hour per lecture), you do exercises from the workbook, under the guidance of the instructor. The method is quite satisfying, and works very well.” |

“This is the FIRST course I have ever taken when I didn't feel "left behind" when TRYING TO FOLLOW on my computer what the instructor had just covered in front of the students and on screen. Make a mistake or error and try to correct yourself, suddenly the instructor is on to the NEXT area, and then the NEXT, and I'm still in "catch-up mode". This way of instruction does not work for me, and it's a very unsatisfactory learning experience!
YOUR TEACHING METHOD is great, and it worked for ME!
Sit there, listen to, and watch the instructor go over the next area step-by-step. THEN, with the Training Manual in hand, work on the same exercise AT YOUR OWN PACE and do it correctly. Make a mistake or error, correct yourself OR ask for help, and NOT WORRY you're missing the instructor's NEXT step.” |

The step by step instruction booklet given to students is well written. All in all an excellent experience. If this is the standard of all of the Noble Desktop courses I would recommend them to anyone interested in desktop design and publishing.” |

After the first class I felt that I had a much stronger understanding of terms I had been using for years (and somewhat incorrectly at times) and left the class with a understanding of how so many things are done in photoshop. I felt like the class exercises were the exact right amount of practice for every new skill learned and the 3 week classes of three hours a night twice a week was just the right amount of time to power through and not feel like I had given up my life. I thought the entire experience was fantastic, the instructor was awesome and easy to understand and I have so much knowledge that I didn't have last month. If you want a shortcut into learning a program this is really the best experience I could recommend.” |

| “Although I am fairly computer literate website design and operation have always been behind a "gray curtain" -- not understood or appreciated. This course lifted that curtain for me so that I will now be able to specify our web needs more clearly to outside vendors and consultants as well as be able to more easily change content and update our site as needed.” |

I feel comfortable diving in and exploring the program and I have the working knowledge that I need to actually create usable documents for my employer while practicing my skills.” |

I just finished with four years of college, and the skill with which the course was taught really made my college look bad. Here the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable about the source material. In fact, the instructors were funny and full of humor about a subject that doesn't have a lot of it. They kept the class fun without taking the focus off the source material and putting it on themselves. They did a nice job of giving you just enough instruction to help you along, and knew enough to leave you alone when you had to learn on your own. Really, amazingly well done. I was very impressed.” |
