Jerron Smith is a great instructor with a great sense of humor; he's approachable, incredibly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond in his teaching by not only getting you from point A to point B, but also helping you understand why you're going there.

I had not sat in a classroom since 1982 prior to joining Jerron Smith's Adobe After Effects Bootcamp last week. I enjoyed every moment of the 3 days I spent at Noble. The program is exciting, and the instruction (both printed and as delivered by the very entertaining and enthusiastic Mr. Smith) could not have been better. Made me wish I had discovered Noble when I was a younger man. Loved it, thanks.

Jerron was fantastic! Super clear when teaching and showing examples. I was remote and still felt heard and helped. Great for beginners, but it picks up the pace quickly, so it is always interesting and fun.

Jerron is a great instructor.

Amazing experience, I learned so much!

The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I did not feel rushed in the class at all. He explained things very slowly, which is something I appreciate because it's a very complex program. He took a lot of time to help me out when I was stuck. Also, the textbook is extremely helpful! I find it hard to take notes during these classes because I'm often looking at the screen. So, having a step-by-step guide I could follow is great.

Having no prior knowledge of After Effects, I found this class to be very approachable and a great first step into learning this program. The instructor went beyond the workbook by using simple on-screen demonstrations to help students understand the basic mechanics of After Effects.

Jerron did a great job. I was very intimidated by After Effects and teaching it to my high school students prior to this class, but I feel like I now have a good understanding of it in order to explain it.

I loved that the instructor really took the time to address any issue/question that any of us had throughout the course. He didn't just want to check and complete the exercises in the book, but instead, he really tried to make us understand as much as possible of a pretty complex program like After Effects in a very short amount of time.

This After Effects Bootcamp was perfect! As someone who has a basic understanding of keyframes and timelines, it was perfect for learning more sophisticated skills. Highly recommend!

I learned so much in a relatively short amount of time, and can't wait to put my new After Effects skills to use!

Great experience overall. Jerron is an amazing instructor: knowledgeable, approachable and conducts classes in a clear and concise manner. 5/5! I was lucky to be in a small class, as I could ask Jerron further questions without holding up the other participants. I feel I will be back with Noble Desktop in the near future once I go away and digest After Effects further.

Wonderful class! This class was both instructional and entertaining. It was structured and organized without feeling strict and stifling. The instructor, Jerron, is personable and has lots of industry experience. I really appreciated and enjoyed his explanations and anecdotes.

I was so grateful for the small class size and that you could attend both online and in-person.

Jerron was very professional and a great instructor. he was very attentive to students' needs and speed and was able to answer all the questions without derailing the entire class. Learned a lot, loved the experience.

I would recommend taking a class at Noble Desktop.

This class was so helpful in getting me to learn the language of After Effects.

I learned a lot in a short amount of time. The PDF of step-by-step instructions was well-organized and easy to follow. I like that I have it for future reference.

I learned so much through the After Effects Bootcamp. I've been using After Effects for about 3 years, but I learned some very simple things that I didn't know before, as well as super useful skills to use in the future.

This class was great. The instructor couldn't have been more knowledgeable about the program. I am walking out feeling more confident about After Effects.

A perfect class for After Effects beginners that made learning complex topics simple! Jerron was an amazing teacher.

Jerron was a fantastic instructor who is extremely knowledgeable about After Effects. I especially enjoyed the little nuggets of history and facts behind the program and why certain tools behave the way they do. He was thorough, informative, and really helped my understanding of the program. Great experience overall! Thank you for the helpful class and the wonderful snacks.

Noble Desktop offers efficient, thorough classes for learning these programs. There's enough repetition to get you used to the workflow without slowing the pace. The three-day bootcamps are an excellent way to learn the basics, plus a little more to give you the confidence to tackle your own projects - with a handy workbook to use as a reference.

This course does a great job of setting up the foundation of the program and building your skills from there. I really enjoyed that the first project was creating an animated piece from start to finish. Jerron was an amazing teacher! He is very thorough, has a positive attitude, and he is so patient. If someone doesn't understand something, he will work with them until they get it. He has been teaching animation courses for many years and really knows his stuff. I learned a lot from him through this course and I would strongly recommend this class to anyone looking for a deeper dive into After Effects!

The animations taught in this boot amp course addressed a wide variety of needs one may need to use After Effects for. I thought all of Jerron's examples were interesting and curated creatively. I especially appreciated the red blood cell animation & infographic animation as someone coming from a healthcare background.
