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! > > — John Baldaserini, Marketing Automation Developer, Keurig Dr Pepper > 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 The coding classes I took in college were outdated because the web had changed so much by then.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. > > — Pamela Ferrer, National Manager, Email Marketing , Crohn's & Colitis Foundation ## Pricing **Tuition:** $3495 Payment options: Student financing available; see the current application terms and pay-as-you-go installments.
