4 weeks full-time (weekdays), or 4 months part-time (evenings)
NYC or Live Online
Webpages are built with code. Front-end coding is creating the part of a website you see in a web browser. In this certificate program, you’ll learn HTML to mark up webpages, CSS for styling, JavaScript to add interactivity/animation, and Git to track code changes and collaborate with other developers.
You’ll learn how to create responsive websites optimized for any size screen (mobile, tablet, and desktop). No prior coding experience is required. We’ll get you started and soon you’ll be building new websites of your own and editing existing webpages!
WordPress drives over 40% of all websites because it provides loads of functionality and the ability to create themes (templates) to control the look, feel, and functionality of a website. The people you build websites for will want to edit the content (text, images, etc.) and WordPress will enable them to do so without learning how to code.
This Front-End Web Development Certificate is a comprehensive program that you can attend in New York City or live online, with more learning time than many similar programs. You get hands-on training and step-by-step training workbooks we’ve written ourselves.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
My new career provides the flexibility to work remotely, on my own schedule, and this allows me to spend additional time with the people that matter most. I completed Noble Desktop’s Web Development certificate program. I wanted to change careers and build smart websites for small businesses and organizations. Before enrolling with Noble Desktop, I tried learning to code HTML and CSS on my own. I frequently found myself feeling “stuck” with unanswered questions. More concerning was that I “didn’t know what I didn’t know” about current web technologies and best practices. Noble Desktop’s instructors answered my questions and introduced web development concepts and resources I would need to produce excellent work. The information presented in class was a valuable mix of Noble Desktop textbook content and tips & tools instructors discovered in their web development careers. The textbooks are so good that when I’m not sure about something I am coding, I trust my Noble Desktop textbooks more than most online search results. The Noble Desktop Web Development certificate helped me land a marketing agency internship. The first job of my new career was coding HTML emails for a national law firm. Since then, I’ve joined the rapidly growing marketing automation field and the sky appears to be the limit. I am working on Keurig Dr Pepper’s Internet of Things connected coffee maker program, building automated customer journeys that deliver, email, inbox & push messages to Keurig’s mobile app. Thank you Noble Desktop!

I wanted to transition my career into Web Design and Development. The coding classes I took in college were outdated because the web had changed so much by then. Not only did I learn how to code the correct way with Noble Desktop, but I also learned the other parts of Web Design that I didn’t know before. I signed up for the Web Design Certificate. All of the classes are important, but these courses impacted me directly: Web Development with HTML & CSS, JavaScript for Front-End, HTML Email Bootcamp, and WordPress Bootcamp. Ultimately, I built up the knowledge and skills to transition into the career that I sought. The instructors at Noble Desktop are remarkable! They are knowledgeable, patient, and want their students to succeed.

Noble’s typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students.
We have scheduled the certificate classes in various tracks (day, night, or weekend) for your convenience, but you can customize your schedule.
When creating a custom schedule, you’ll be able to choose between the various available dates for each class in the certificate program. So if you can’t make a particular class, you can choose a different scheduled instance that works better for you. You’ll still need to take the various courses in the recommended order as shown above, except for Web Developer Tools: Git & Coding Tips which can be taken any time after Advanced HTML & CSS.
We focus on teaching professional skills that people can use right away in real-world jobs. To keep class prices low, we do not offer job placement.
We don’t know of any schools that offer job placement at this price point. Programs with job placement are much more expensive. If you're considering one, be sure to read all their fine print to see what you will be required to do and if there are ways they can exclude you (such as missing a class or not fulfilling one of their other requirements).
Not having to worry about job placement statistics frees us to accept all students. Anyone who wants to learn at Noble, can. Some of our students want to learn a topic well enough to get a job in the industry (full time or freelance), others are already working in the industry or a related industry and want to add skills, others want to be able to communicate better with people in the industry. No matter what your goals are, you are welcome at Noble Desktop.
Even though we don’t do job placement, we aim to give students practical and valuable skills they can apply to real-world jobs. We teach a lot in a short amount of time, to prepare students as best we can with skills applicable to full-time or freelance work. We want you to succeed!
