“I had a pretty basic understanding of CSS before this class. The concepts themselves weren't completely foreign to me, however I now feel like have a better understanding of how things really work. Rather than just copying and pasting code and hoping it does what I want it to, I now know why things work which will help me style more effectively and efficiently.”

The instructors keep their knowledge cutting edge and each have a respectful resume chock full of experience.

“Take web development from Noble if you actually want to learn and to feel like you are learning. I took a part time front-end web dev course at a big name competitor first. The competitor's course left me feeling lost and overwhelmed because there were no notes or book. Noble gives you top-notch notes and has spent significant time setting up the exercises so you never get lost. The instructor actually knows how to teach and likes it and wasn't speeding through the material so he could leave early to go to his bunk bed start-up life, as in the class I took from the competition. Further - they have a massive screen so you can see what the instructor is doing rather than squinting and getting lost as I did in the competitor’s class. On top of all that, I feel extremely satisfied that I got my money's worth because I can practice the lessons again because there is a book. AND if I want to see a lesson again, I'm allowed to come back and watch again. I don't think I'll need to repeat anything BUT I am super happy that is an option. These guys run a good ,fair business. They treat you well and you actually learn. Forget the rest, Noble will make you successful.”

Trying to code emails which would display correctly on many different email clients and screens sizes I found perplexing and tedious. Coding for them is bit of a dark science. Not fully understanding led me to take this class. The knowledge learned by taking this course going forward will enable me to better code them, in addition to being taught best practices as well as valuable tips and tricks. They no longer are a mystery. I can’t thank the course instructor, Victoria, enough. She’s truly "all knowing email goddess."”

I had a little background knowledge going in, but I definitely feel like I have a better understanding of WHY you do certain things and the logic behind the code. It was beginner-friendly and taught practical skills that I can already use. After going home on the last day, I was able to update the navigation on my company's website and add a new page that fit the rest of the website's styling. I could even make it mobile compatible! If I'd tried this a week ago, I probably would've crashed the whole site.”

She answered all our questions with enthusiasm and taught us as beginners using terms at a speed we could grasp the concept at. I also appreciate that she used the screen to zoom in and then back to make sure we saw where the palettes where and what they were doing. It can be overwhelming to look at a screen with a million palettes and listen to someone talk at the same time. Our teacher handled it very well.”

She brought a much needed lightness and humor to a difficult subject. At times I was overwhelmed. Kalika was hands-on with helping me. She was genuinely interested in teaching us what we wanted to know. We followed the instruction booklet but it was not forced upon us -- we went at our own pace and was able to spend the last class practicing our own project ideas. I left my three-day Noble Desk top experience feeling inspired and excited to continue my After Effects learning journey. I intend on using my new knowledge to make personal art as well as enhance my day-job work as a graphic designer in higher education. I cannot speak highly enough of Kalika.

I like that the classes are easily digestible, while still covering a lot of material. They also do a good job of explaining the fundamentals, so you understand what you are doing and why. I feel a lot of courses give a list of instructions on how to do different things within a program, but without understanding fundamentally why you're doing each step, it is hard to apply those concepts to future projects outside the classroom.”

Cathline was better as a teacher than any "high level" professor I had at Parsons where I completed my MFA. She explained concepts extremely well, was nurturing, always available for assistance, answered every question fully, and was genuinely concerned for her student's welfare. This was really touching. I will never forget the experience I had in her Visual Design for Web and Mobile class. It was unforgettable and very very beneficial for someone who was shaky about their graphic designs. Cathline put me back up on my ladder. What a terrific, terrific, terrific teacher.”

There was an extreme amount of material to cover, and she succeeded in captivating all students' attention and holding it from beginning to end. I can't wait to take another class with Cathline!”

“The instructor was very informative. From the beginning of the course, she fielded each of the students needs and their purpose for taking the class. I didn't take the Dreamweaver class so that I could become a web programmer. My goal was to understand the process, be able to build a basic site and have the vernacular to speak to client/producer/coder/designer in order to design direct a web page or user interface. My goal was heard and achieved. Thank you Noble.”

“I already miss being in class– had such a nice time; and the teacher (Michele Rosenthal) was really nice, patient, articulate and had a good understanding of what was happening with the tools; she was able to say where we went wrong or why something else happened during the exercise. It is an excellent class with a really good curricula; Photoshop wasn't a software that I used, heard of yes, but not used– until I started to work on this project at work– so am a novice no more.”

Michele's teaching style helped me to focus and absorb a maximum of information with no distractions. She even optimized the learning environment by being consistent in dimming the lights for demonstrations, and raising them when we were doing workbook exercises.

“Noble Desktop ROCKS. I have been attending classes and free seminars there for 6 years and they have all been super beneficial. And there is a reason why their workbooks are for sale on Amazon.com. They are really, really well written and cover the subject matter brilliantly. All of the instructors I have taken classes with were wonderful and experts on their subject. I thought at first that the free seminars were just devices to trick people into paying for classes at Noble, but having taken the free seminars, I don't think that is true. The atmosphere at Noble is great. The people are fabulous. And, also, there's a very good reason why Noble built such a spectacular business on word of mouth alone. Noble Desktop ROCKS!!”

“I had to learn Dreamweaver in a 'trial by fire' method for a graduate digital design course... I learned enough to get by - but taking the class at Noble, it allowed me the opportunity to really understand how Dreamweaver works, how to code with HTML and the advantages of CSS. At the conclusion of the first class I signed up for the next level.. and I'm now very interested in pursuing the Certificate in Web Design. Digital design is the future of graphic design and I'd like to be prepared.”

“I was definitely concerned about whether I'd be able to keep up with a three-day introductory course in Dreamweaver (especially because I wasn't even sure what Dreamweaver did, and had never heard of CSS before), but after my very positive experience with your InDesign course, I had a general level of trust in Noble. My instructor for Dreamweaver Level I (Victoria) was excellent, and worked magic in three days. She gave me a great foundation on which to build, and has such an enthusiasm for the subject that I now aspire to becoming a CSS guru... now that I know what it is.”

The course material was sensibly and professionally well thought out and very efficiently put together. The instructor Victoria Torres is amazing. Victoria is extremely knowledgable and very professionally polished, yet she can be quite humorous and certainly had the class in stitches at times. I feel now that I have a better understanding the basic concept of Dreamweaver's structure as it relates to how it can be used to build and manage websites. A great class! Thank you very much, Noble Desktop.”

The teacher had a fantastic command of the material, and was good at keeping us on task and moving us through the material. In the past I have gotten "lost" in other classes, having to catch up, with missed information. This did not happen, because he was constantly telling us where to look, what page we were on, and had a keen sense of what issues were going to be problematic. So he addressed them, spot on. He was funny, too!”

“I really enjoyed learning at Noble Desktop. As a professional dancer entering into web design as a fallback career, I have next to no experience in web design. The teacher was excellent! She really knew how to break the concepts down in several ways, hitting every type of learning style making it easy for me, a total beginner, to understand. The workbook was very straightforward and simple to follow. I felt that the information I received and the best practice techniques were top of the line, and excellent preparation for entering the field of website design. I can't wait for my next class at Noble Desktop!”

“I really felt like I got my money's worth! The teacher was willing to answer my numerous questions (I was channeling Hermione Granger and peppered him with tons of questions). The workbook lessons were comprehensive and an excellent "path of education" but the ability to immediately ask and get answers lifted this to extreme value.”

I found your class to be quite informative, and I now know multiple ways of doing parts of my job in one step rather than 3-5 steps like I was doing before.

Susan Zwiener

Nov 14, 2011

“Before taking the course at Noble I knew nothing about Dreamweaver. It was an intensive course with a lot of material to learn and absorb in 3 days but the class structure and comprehensive instruction put everything into perspective for me. Progressive guided lessons with corresponding independent exercises provided clear understanding of the many facets involved in building an active web site, from start to finish. The instructor, an extremely knowledgeable working professional in the field, presented new material with concise explanations, eagerly addressed questions, and conscientiously circulated the room offering assistance during independent activities. After taking the course I had a solid foundation and working knowledge of Dreamweaver. Practice makes perfect and Noble provides for that by issuing a training manual with class files CD so you can practice at home. Don’t have the program? With your class receipt Noble also can hook you up with a discounted student version. Didn’t quite get the gist of a particular step or lesson? Noble will find room for you to sit in during the next available class so you can get it straightened out. Unlike many higher learning or vocational institutions that herd students in and out of their facilities, Noble Desktop is a small professional organization that puts its reputation on the line with each student seeking computer graphics training with them. I’m certain you will be more than satisfied with instruction, instructors, and administration at Noble... I definitely am and have registered for two more courses!”

“Overall, I'm always amazed at the talent of your instructors and comprehensiveness of your course materials. I thoroughly enjoy the theory/academic material, but mostly I'm impressed by your emphasis on translating these tools to real-world, practical applications. I took a PHP class with a different company, and only then did I realize exactly how well your courses are put together. They covered all the theory, but when it came to going back to the workplace to apply those skills, I realized they hardly covered any real-world applications of it. I basically had to re-teach myself all the information when it came to applying it to actual real-world applications. This is why your company will always be my first choice when looking for continuing education classes.”

The class was taught in such a clear and logical manner while moving at a speed that was neither too slow for the fast learners nor too intense for the beginners...it was truly an enjoyable experience.”

“I had fully completed web, HTML, and Dreamweaver CS5 courses online from one of the most notable online course sources -- I still didnt have a handle on HTML and Dreamweaver. To make a point: I've mastered QX [since 1989] and IND since its inception; so I would say I'm 'mentally receptive' to learning new stuff. it just didnt happen with the web related stuff -- BUT after doing Dreamweaver at NOBLE, after the first day I was totally embracing HTML -- and after the 3 day course, I was up and running with DW. Great class! Clear instruction for the designers and artists among us!”

I took the Dreamweaver Intensive program, and since then I have attended almost all of the free seminars on all sorts of topics. As a result I committed myself to learning other Adobe programs, and I just finished the Dreamweaver Interactive and Flash Advanced class. Both blew me away! When I was laid off recently a door closed, but I feel that a new one may have just opened thanks to you.”

“I've never seen any instructor so eager to channel his knowledge and expertise in layman's terms with genuine, child-like enthusiasm. I liked the way he took time to help and explain things, not rushing through just so he could get to the next person with a question. He has a keen sense to read our puzzled look when the first answer didn't hit home, by triggering our mind to think another way for the light bulb to lit. I rarely dare to retouch a photo -- no matter how bad it was. After this class, I feel comfortable in tackling poor images and making them look better.”

“Early this year I got an email from one of my headhunters, who basically said: "... the print jobs that have been eliminated are probably NOT coming back." We were told that we needed to update our skills to include web design. So I begrudgingly took the advice and signed up for Dreamweaver and Flash at Noble Desktop. Their 3-day intensive courses were just what I needed! I didn't have the time to waste taking a semester-long class with a teacher and/or curriculum that may or may not have been any good. At Noble Desktop, the teachers are screened and they are top-rate... and they actually LOVE teaching! Noble Desktop's method of teaching the computer programs uses real-world scenarios — there is no time wasted on stuff you don't need, nor on rhetoric or theory that is useless. The material is relevant and current, and they teach it in a way that is logical, and easy to grasp. They test their lessons over and over and constantly update the classes and workbooks. After taking these 2 classes, I feel that now I can send out my resume with my new web skills added, with confidence! Yes, their classes seem expensive, but no more than any other art school here in New York City, and you get the skills you need in just 3 days! So — since your time is money, you come out way ahead of the game! Thank you Noble Desktop. You are one of the absolute BEST schools in the country.”

“I'm primarily a photographer and graphic designer and have recently added moving images (video) to my repertoire. I needed to learn Final Cut Pro but was a bit intimidated by it. The FCP class at Noble Desktop was really user-friendly, and totally eliminated my fears of the program. After just 3 days I feel that I have enough knowledge of the program that I can get out there and shoot, edit, and make DVDs and (music) videos for the web!!! Thank you Noble Desktop. You are a top-rate school, and your teachers are the best! I attended many semester-long classes at other art and design schools, the majority were taught by third-rate teachers and the classes were boring and just dragged on and on. YOUR classes were right on the money. You showed us the nuts-and-bolts of the program in an easy-to-grasp manner. Your intensive classes are perfect for the working professional who doesn't have time to attend a semester-long class. I did not have to go through a lot of red-tape to register for the class, either. The sign-up process was quick and easy. Someone answered the phone every time I called and responded to my questions in a positive and professional manner. And I even got a signed "certificate" to show that I took the class! How cool is that!”

This is the first time I've taken a computer class and immediately felt confident in what I've learned. The teachers are PROS! They really know their stuff. I learned more in my Flash class at Noble Desktop than I learned at a very expensive private college I attended.”

“I was determined to learn Flash on my own. I didn't want to spend the money or use my vacation time to come to Noble. I tried using sites like lynda.com and follow along, but I would miss little details and the whole exercise would fall apart. I am sooo glad that I decided take the Flash class. It was well worth the investment. I highly recommend anyone who needs to expand their skill set to enroll.”

“For anyone into photography who fiddles around (incorrectly!) in Photoshop, this class is a must. I learned lots of time-saving tricks and cool processes that instantly revolutionized the way I edit photos -- and use Photoshop in general. If I had only learned one of these things, this class would've been worth it -- but I learned so many! The instructor solidly knew her material, presented it well, was patient and friendly with the students, always asked if there were questions, answered every question -- and researched those she didn't know during breaks and got back to the class with the answer. The course workbook is clear, comprehensive, and well laid-out. The text used is in a conversational tone, capturing the nuances of a one-on-one in-person training even when you're done with the class. The course itself is designed to begin each segment with a detailed demonstration by the instructor, followed by the student doing a hands-on exercise at the computer (provided by the company) to practice what they just learned. Further demos/exercises build upon the earlier exercises so you can get a better handle on them. I couldn't wait to get home to launch Photoshop and get to work on my own stuff! Thank you, Noble Desktop!”

It was beneficial to know that I am on the right track with some techniques and valuable to learn aspects of the program that I have not used correctly or to the fullest extent. The instructor and instruction was clear and easy to follow without being condescending. The techniques I learned will allow me to be more organized, efficient and skillful in my use of FCP.

Sarah Bush

“I knew that CSS was just what I needed to learn but was not sure that I was able to take it on personally, well...Dan was right, I really found it to be just the right approach and challenge. The Advanced Dreamweaver Class opened up new doors to better design techniques for web and most importantly my mindset is looking at the web in CSS vision. Whoa! Think CSS, build with CSS, integrate CSS in the beginning and help the future of your web site. Perhaps CSS is the "greening" of the world wide web? Go Dan!”

“I am a web instructor myself and teach Dreamweaver, Photoshop and more (although to much lower literacy students). I have also taken classes at NYU, The New School/Parsons and Pratt and hands down Dan is the best instructor I have ever had (including myself!). And for an audience who can read at a high school level, the handouts and CD of example files of the exercises covered in class, are the best I have ever seen. If you want a class without much theory, that is 100% practical and that will make you feel empowered and excited about using the software being taught, Noble Desktop is the best school!”

Dawn Reel

Ethan is a great teacher and really knows his stuff. The class covered all the basics and the hands on exercises were perfect in reinforcing what our instructor was showing in class. Ethan took the time to go over specific things not included in the syllabus but the class had an interest in. I would definitely recommend this class...I am kicking myself for not taking the class earlier and making life easy. ”

“I am so happy I finally took a web class at Noble Desktop. I've put off learning web design programs for 4 years and just getting by with the little knowledge of hand-coding and HTML that I knew. However, now with Dreamweaver CS3 there has been no better time to catch up with the web world and quickly and effectively make my own websites and start creating them for others on a larger scale, professionally. Noble made the learning so easy by optimizing their computer set-up paying attention to every detail to make the best learning environment. The Dreamweaver class was clever, pace was good, fast computers and all the latest software. Hands-on training is the best method for learning. Good job, Noble.”

“Many people are gifted educators. Others are talented in industry. Noble Desktop has acquired a staff with the rare gifts (and experiences) in both areas. Additionally, a student receives feedback from fellow students as to what goes on in the industry and, consequently, what should be addressed in the classrooms. Course materials are relevant and thorough. Lots of lab time is available, and that is a MUST. I will pit these courses against the best ones - and I plan to take other courses in the future. In doubt? Try one of their free seminars.”

He makes sure every student feels comfortable with the material before moving on. I would highly recommend him as an instructor. Plus, he even showed us where Adobe's hidden electric cat lives!”

The instruction/exercise book is an absolute treasure - while the exercises could stand alone for a student learning on their own, they are even more valuable for me to refer back to now again and again to cue my memory of the steps that were so well presented in class.”

One day after my class ended I was already knee-deep in creating my first website. I will absolutely be taking more classes as the need for more advanced techniques arises and have already recommended the HTML/Dreamweaver Comprehensive to friends who are interested in learning website creation fast, efficiently and effectively.

“I really wasn't really expecting much from the class when I signed up- just to learn the basics of the program. Instead, I feel like I walked away with a very good understanding of the how the program works and how to use it effectively. I also thought that I would be bored to tears by 3 days of computer classes (usually not my cup of tea), but the lesson structure was extremely well set up and the instructor Ethan made it fun and engaging and time really flew by! Hopefully I'll have a chance to take another class in the future.”

Noble Desktop teaching methods made learning easy for me. The course instructor was very well informed, communicative and personable. Because of which, I now have a clear understanding of both the application, Dreamweaver and technology, HTML. I came away from the class empowered!”

“The instructor is how I usually judge the value of the class. If the instructor is good, the class is usually good. Laura was great. She knew Photoshop inside and out; knew the feature differences between CS, CS2, and CS3. I don’t believe anything was asked in class that she was not able to answer. She paced the class well (DIDN'T rush through the exercises so that we (she) could get out early) and provided good info and examples that were above and beyond what was in the training material; good information about color correction and file types, etc. I would absolutely take another class of hers.”

“As a professional in the design community, it's important that I stay up-to-date with the various apps of the trade, and I've taken continuing education classes at a handful of NYC institutions. My experience in the Advanced Flash class at Noble Desktop was a pleasant surprise, and I walk away knowing more about ActionScript then I had imagined. I'm looking forward to the Super Advanced Flash class.”
