Become a Full-Stack Web Developer

Want to become a Jedi master of the web? A full-stack developer is worthy of such a title. Full-stack developers are experts in both the front-end and back-end web technology. They deal with programming both the web components on screen as well as the functionality going on behind the scenes to get the application to render. In other words, the full-stack of technology that makes up a web application!

They are proficient in both front-end and back-end languages and frameworks, as well as in server, network, and hosting environments. To get to this breadth and depth of knowledge, many full-stack developers will have spent years working in a variety of different roles. They also tend to be well-versed in both business logic and user experience, meaning they are not only well-equipped to get hands on, but can also guide and consult on strategy too.

This certificate program starts with front-end web development and then continues with back-end programming. You’ll start by thoroughly learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You’ll learn Git for tracking code changes and collaborating with developers, as well as other coding tips and tricks.

After learning front-end code, you’ll move onto building dynamic web applications with Node.js, create APIs with Express.js, and work with databases with MongoDB

Starting with the very first class you will be building webpages, as you work on projects and real-world web applications. In addition to our amazing instructors, you’ll appreciate our step-by-step workbooks which are an amazing reference during and after the program. Our students rave about our learn-then-practice teaching style, which is different than many other schools (because we write the books specifically for many of our classes).

This Full-Stack 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!”

1-Minute Overview

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this certificate include job support?

In addition to 198 hours of interactive training, you will receive six 1-on-1 mentoring sessions that can be used for career and job support, including polishing your resume, preparing for interviews, and reviewing best practices for applying to jobs. Note, however, that we don’t provide job placement (i.e. reaching out to companies on your behalf).
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!

Students must be comfortable using a computer. No other prior knowledge is required.

2 Students Rated Our Full-Stack Web Development Certificate 5 Stars

I love the show & then do process the course takes, it makes it much better than just listening and watching a course. (Yawn!)..You get to actually try out the course content as you go step by step so that makes the courses more interactive and gives you a sense of getting your fingers & mindset involved. That is probably the best reason I would recommend these classes.

Juan Lemus, self-employed

Matt, our instructor, was AWESOME. The guy really knows his stuff and his laid back teaching style was comfortable and stress free. I left this course feel more ready than ever, and truly inspired, to be the best I could be as a programmer. Highly recommended for beginners as well as professionals seeking to be reassured they are doing things the correct way. Noble Desktop is great!
