Noble Desktop Reviews & Testimonials

I found the overall experience with Noble Desktop great. I did the self paced course first as I wanted to get started but the closest dates didn’t work for my schedule. Dan was fantastic - very clear and well structured. I thought the booklet and activities were well thought out.

I will definitely come back to take more classes! Instructor was highly knowledgeable, accessible for questions, and delivered information in a confident (with a bit of humor) way. I'll have to practice but I achieved my goal of knowing a lot more at the end of the course than when I started.

Very engaging.

This has been a great experience! Level II covered a lot of tools I had seen, but never actually used. So now I look forward to becoming more knowledgeable to use them.

Ade was very knowledgable and worked through the class at a perfect pace. I very much enjoyed learning from him.

Adebayo was an excellent teacher. Well done!

The instructor was very knowledgeable!

The class was very good. The instructor was very interactive and helpful.

He was patient with the class. He worked to make sure we actually understood the material.

I enjoyed it. A good refresher course.

It's very hands on and easy to follow. Good class, instructor takes time to make sure we all got it.

The instructor is very knowledgeable and even better, passionate about the topics covered.

Great class! I recommend it even if you work with PowerPoint. The class is filled with nuggets to improve your skill level. The content covered quite a bit and gave me the chance to learn new tips and review tips I don't use as often. Ade was thorough in his presentation and handled the hybrid (virtual/in person) format really well.

I really enjoyed the class. And liked the subject matter. I think I will be able to do the things that were explained. And I'm glad that it was recorded so I can review, and that it was explained in great detail. Everything was explained in a way that was easy to grasp.

Garfield is awesome. Makes concepts super clear and paces the class wonderfully!

Very knowledgeable and thorough! I'm the type of person who learns by doing, and he allowed us students to practice on our own.

I would like to recommend Garfield's class to anyone who is interested in it. I learned a lot in the class and would like to take other classes under him. He has patience and is understanding of the fact that you are learning the material. I liked how he told jokes to ease the tension in the class. And he explains the material really well in a way that gets your attention and interest to do the work in class. I enjoyed the class and the jokes he threw in while explaining the information kept me from being bored. It was a good ice breaker and made the class fun.

Another great class. The instructor was very knowledgeable about the subject, easy to understand, and follow along. Very good content, very thorough, and covers a lot of good information.

Knowledgeable, helpful, and well prepared.

The instructor was very knowledgeable about Figma.

I found the class very interesting and understandable. Easy to follow. And very informative. Garfield keeps you interested in the class. He gives you examples of the work and explains everything in great detail. He motivates you to want to learn the subject. I really enjoyed the class and look forward to other classes taught by him.

Great class and instructor. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Easy to understand and follow.

The instructor was very patient. He answered my questions and the questions other participants had.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and very kind! A great instructor!

The instructor was great.

The content was accessible and presented in an organized way. I had great opportunities to apply the learning to real-world scenarios while in class, with the promise that it would also be applicable at our jobs. Dan was an engaging teacher. He knew the subject matter incredibly well and was able to speak to the class from experience. I was engaged the whole time, despite it being such a full day, because Dan made the content accessible and digestible. I've taken other courses (at other places) where instructors read off slides or are unable to connect to their audience. Dan did neither. He was able to discuss the info on the slides and present it naturally, conversationally even. I am absolutely looking forward to taking Part 2.

I like the times when we have to work through a challenge ourselves based on what we just learned, and then we review the answer together.

This was a great experience. The instructor is very thoughtful in his instruction and makes the information very digestible. He covers a lot of territory without making you feel like you're rushing through everything. I appreciate having access to a PC and Excel in person for the class.

The instructor was excellent. The class was hard, but he moved through the content efficiently, explained everything very thoroughly, and made himself available for questions.

Great tabs to follow along. Very informative!

I will take another class here.

It was helpful. The instructor was very clear, and I was able to follow along.

Good info and lots of data. Ade, the instructor, was very informative and knowledgeable. Kept things moving.

My overall experience was very positive. I gained more tools in my Full Stack Web Development toolbox that track well with my overall goal and purpose. I felt the class downloads files were amazing, but the course instructor stole the show - providing great examples to follow along with.

If I could give Garfield more stars, I would. He deserves 10. He made the class genuinely fun and engaging; he was very instructive yet never dry. I have never laughed and had so much fun in a training before. Literally the BEST training instructor for something that I've been trying to learn on my own for years. I feel very confident that I learned so much specifically because Garfield was the one teaching us! My whole team even asked our supervisor if we could take additional classes with Garfield again, and it is something they are looking into now. :)

The best experience for a beginner.

The instructor makes complex topics easier to understand with good analogies.

This fundamentals class was just what I needed to brush up on my skills. It touched on a lot of tools I use every day and even a few I don't! Excel always has more to offer and being reminded of that makes working in the application that much more fun and interesting!

Class was very informative. I've been using Excel for years and had no idea all the tools I've been missing out on!

The school itself and staff are amazing and very helpful. I really appreciate the fact that they have beverages, snacks, and appliances for us to use.

I would encourage anyone to get involved in the class. It is very informative.

I found the class very informative and productive, and the instructor had a commanding knowledge of the subject matter. The class materials were second to none. Whether in soft copy, electronic, or PDF format, they allowed you to follow along with the instructor as the course was being taught.

I needed this class to give me a grounding for all of the bits and pieces about AI I was picking up, but had been unable to make sense of until this class. Social media influencers had been going on about how easy AI was and how it was going to take my job away. Learning AI concepts from LinkedIn and YouTube videos wasn't cutting it for me. I always learned better in a classroom setting, so when someone at my job told me about this class, I immediately signed up. I am glad I did. This class gave me the tools and a framework in which to understand AI from the ground up. While I certainly know I have a ways to go before I become proficient with AI, I have more confidence that I can harness its power to have it work for me and not against me. (At least, that's the hope....)

Definitely a class and instructor I would recommend for new learners and would like to see again in the more advanced classes. The materials were appropriate for the class, and I appreciated having them ahead of time to review and practice. The instructor makes a difficult topic easy to understand. He moves at a comfortable pace and takes the time to answer questions and work through any problems you may have. He adds humor and analogies that make this lighter and easier to conceptualize. He allows time for practice, making mistakes, and finding your way.

Easy to follow along and very straightforward. Garfield was engaging, funny, and a great teacher. This was one of the best courses I've taken in a long time. Thank you so much!

Great introduction to Noble Desktop, as this was the first class within my course package.

I was in the class for three days, in person, and it was great! Very in-depth and helpful. The instructor was attentive to everyone in the class and online.

The clean data with Excel is really helpful to know.

I took this course in person just for fun while visiting NY — not planning a pivot to data science, just curious — and it was exactly what you'd hope for when learning a new programming language. The instructor, Garfield, was the best: a great mixture of storytelling, leading questions about the logic behind SQL, and his own humor to keep students engaged throughout the entire bootcamp. The content was easy to follow and well organized, and even though three consecutive days of six-hour coding sessions sound like a nightmare in theory, the practical applications and Garfield's calculated and humorous approach made it a delight.

Wonderful experience. Thank you so much!
