Frequently Asked Questions

• Who is the target audience for this course?

  The Full-Stack Web Development Certificate is for individuals who want to code all parts of websites and web apps. This program is best suited for:

  • Individuals looking to learn web development (both front-end and back-end).
  • Anyone looking to start a career as a JavaScript full-stack developer.
  • People who are technically oriented, enjoy working with computers, and want to have full command of building web apps and websites.

• Does this certificate include job support?

  In addition to 210 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 Web Developer Tools: Git & Coding Tips 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!

• Does this course require any prior knowledge or experience?

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