From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
Noble Desktop’s Video Editing Certificate program is packed with a number of well-taught, in-depth class exercises to experience. Between the first and last class my level of confidence working within the Premiere Pro, After Effects and Audition programs greatly increased. Jerron, our Yoda-from-a-distance (Zoom classes) instructor, answered all questions and brought a great sense of enthusiasm and excitement to every class. I asked, “Do you feel like you’re still learning?” He replied, “Of course, Adobe programs are always changing and getting better.” Learning is limitless, curiosity can’t be taught, and these classes generate them into a visual reality.
