Learn to Code Websites with HTML, CSS, & JavaScript

Webpages are built with code. Front-end coding is creating the part of a website that you see in a web browser. In this certificate program you will learn HTML to mark up webpages, CSS for styling, JavaScript/jQuery to add interactivity/animation, and Git to track code changes as well as collaborate with other developers.

You’ll learn how to create responsive websites that are optimized for any size screen (mobile, tablet, and desktop). No prior coding experience is required. We’ll get you started so you can build new sites or edit existing webpages!

This Front-End Web Development Certificate (licensed by New York State) is a comprehensive and effective 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, step-by-step training workbooks we’ve written ourselves, and a free retake.

“Overall experience on Zoom was maybe even better than in IRL classroom because the instruction takes place right on your own screen, with less distraction. Great overall experience.”
“Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn’t have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, but I’m actually excited to use it!”
“This was the first online class I’ve taken with ND and it was a great experience. Looking forward to the other classes I’ve signed up for!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the target audience for this course?
This certificate program is for anyone who wants to learn to code websites and become a front-end web developer. It’s a good fit for:
- Those who want to build websites (using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).
- Web designers, art directors, managers, and marketing professionals who want to understand how code works.
- Anyone who needs to create or edit webpages. Business owners, people in marketing, or anyone in a company that works with the creation of websites, blog posts, landing pages, and more can benefit from web coding skills.
Is there mandatory work outside of the classroom?

Students are not required to complete any work outside of class. However, students are encouraged to practice the skills learned in class and develop a portfolio of work.
How many students are in a class?

Noble’s typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students.
How does the custom schedule work & what is the recommended class order?

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 Git Going and Coding Tips & Tricks which can be taken any time after Web Development Level 2.
What happens if I need to miss a session?
You have some options:
- If you can’t come into the classroom, but can still attend remotely (live online using a screen sharing app), please let us know ahead of time so we can get you information to attend online.
- You can make up that session in a future offering of the class, provided that the class is running with an available seat.
- You can go through the workbook exercises for that session. Ask your instructor about what you’ll be missing.
Does Noble Desktop offer job placement?

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!
