“Took the two day Financial Modeling Bootcamp. Extremely informative and useful. Smaller class size allows for one on one help and enables you to really understand the material you are working through. Additionally you build out a model on an actual company during the course, allowing you to preform the same kind of analysis you would use in a real office setting, as opposed to looking at generic accounting problems. Office itself is very nice, and the professors are extremely well informed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to develop, sharpen, or reestablish their financial modeling skills.”

The class gave a very comprehensive overview into the philosophy and process of UX, showed real world UX case study examples and then had us apply the UX process to our own class project. In the end I built a working prototype of an app that was based on and informed by me conducting actual user interviews, personas, journey maps etc etc.. It was a great experience to apply the UX process to building my app all while learning a new program- Sketch.

This was the first class I ever took for coding and I am so glad I did. I feel like I was able to learn a new skill fairly quickly and I love bragging about it. Truly a lovely place to begin chasing your dream of proving everyone wrong who said, “Coding is too hard. I tried and I couldn't do it so you probably won’t like it. You are gonna think it’s boring…” This class will automatically give you a sense of feeling superiority over others who were honestly just not smart enough to look up Noble Desktop.

The fact that they give you the chance to re-take a class free of charge within a year after the first one is amazing.

The actual location was convenient and comfortable, they gave us coffee tea and chocolate- an overall great experience. Will definitely be going back for level 3.”

“I really enjoyed the format of this class. It is taught in a way that just "clicks" with my learning style. Watching the instructor go through the lesson first and give extra tips to help solidify the information outside of what is written in the workbook is immeasurably helpful. While I came into the class familiar with the basics of HTML, the course helped to show the "why" behind the process. The instructors have been very knowledgeable and are readily available to answer questions or clarify the content. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn HTML from the ground up. The hands on approach is just what is needed in this type of course.”

“Noble's iOS Development course has taken me from pure novice in code of any kind to about to publish my very own iOS app. I'd tried paid online courses, tutorials and books but it all ended in frustration. One reason being that the language Swift has been developing and changing so much that online wasn't keeping up. There's nothing like having a live coding expert in the same room. Noble finds excellent teachers (who are also patient with beginners) and is very generous with workbooks, downloadable materials and files in order to keep everything up to date. Taking this course was the best decision I've made in the last ten years..!”

After taking Noble's class I realize that when non-developers say it's easy that they are referring to Wordpress.com. Noble's class does much more. It teaches you how to give your custom front end website a backend so that non-developers can maintain your website without touching any code.”

“The After Effects I class was exactly what I hoped for and was super helpful. It's best to go in with some Photoshop and Illustrator knowledge, as well as some basic awareness of motion graphics applications such as how timelines function, editing terms, etc. But, depending on your aptitude for learning new programs, you would not necessarily need that knowledge, and the instructor is great at helping students each progress based on their individual level. I learned so much, and feel confident that I can now start on some basic AE projects. Looking forward to level II!”

“Noble lets you learn to code in a hands-on, practical way. The goal is for you to actually learn how to build websites and doesn't assume you have a team of people to do things for you. The content is extremely practical; it's not a test to screen out who should be admitted to MIT or not. They've spent over 20 years perfecting the course materials, and it shows. The materials become your reference manual that you can refer to as you implement upgrades to your own website. Don't waste your money elsewhere, this is the place to go. The owner and teachers are fully committed to your success. They allow repeats and host a Meetup for those in the program to get help and exchange ideas. Noble has your back, while other programs thank you for your money and forget you after their profits clear. Also, you can take the classes that you want to without being forced to take an entire bootcamp.”

“The Noble Desktop PowerPoint training 2-day session was informative, casual, fun. The instructor, Scott, was knowledgeable and helpful and patient with us as we navigated our way around PPT.

“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.”

“Noble is a school that is exactly what its name says. It cares about customer success. Its instructors have real world experience and are experts in their field. They teach because they enjoy it and they care that you actually learn. Forget the other bootcamps that feed you info from a firehose and you walk out with your head spinning.

The instructors keep their knowledge cutting edge and each have a respectful resume chock full of experience. If I had to pick one thing to say about Noble Desktop it would be that the quality of instruction, choice of topics and teaching methods are extremely consistent; there wasn't one day of one class that I felt let down. That's amazing.”

“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.”

“The instructors are top notch; very approachable and they know their stuff. Their class format is see and do; they explain an exercise step by step then have you complete it and are there to help you if you get stuck. I found the hands-on approach very effective. The exercises are modular and build on previous ones and every time you complete one you've made something happen that you didn't know how to do 30 minutes ago. That's a great feeling and helps keep you engaged in what you're learning. Piece by piece you're building practical skills that you can apply immediately.”

“I have completed 2 certificate programs. A 90-hour front-end web design certificate that included classes in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and jQuery, HTML email, Photoshop for web, and mobile and responsive web design. The second certificate built onto the first, and added a 30-hour back-end web development program which included PHP, MySQL, and WordPress. I learned tons, and the teachers were excellent. The course books are such a valuable tool to use with my projects. I was able to code a WordPress theme from scratch, and was even asked to speak at this past summer’s Wordcamp NYC. The instructors know their stuff, and really make learning fun. Nothing is rushed, and they take time to answer all questions. These courses were a very worthwhile investment—would recommend to anyone.”

Noble’s original step-by-step books are second to none: easy to follow and handy references to fall back on while working on a project. The instructors bring their own valuable real-world experience and are eager to help and share their knowledge.”

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. When I began to feel 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 Desktop 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. She was truly a pleasure.”

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.”

“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. Michelle was also consistent in alerting us of what information was in the workbook and what wasn't. Overall, she made it so easy to learn a difficult program.

“If you want to really learn and call yourself a designer, developer or both you have to go through the Noble Desktop course regiment. Noble's teaching methodology allows complex programming ideas to be understood first, allowing a student to then implement with purpose. On the design site, I don't know of a better place where either the newbie or expert student can learn the most efficient workflows for content creation.”

“Although I have done a little bit of coding (and took a couple of seminars on it) before, I didn't have the full understanding of it until I took Dreamweaver Level 1 at Noble Desktop. Scott Vrable is one of the best instructors I ever had - and not just in the tech industry, but overall. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to go into concepts beyond the very basics.”

“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!”

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.

“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.”

“I have recently completed the Dreamweaver Course - Victoria our instructor demonstrated a high level of competency and her method of training by step-by-step instruction, hands-on practice, and exercises was great. Having very minimal experience with Dreamweaver, I was pleased with the pace of the course. I am more than satisfied with the training provided by Noble Desktop and would recommend it to others. This is my second course with Noble and I will be back. You really feel that you have learnt something and I have!”

“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'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!”

“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!”

“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 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!”

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.”

“Ethan's deep knowledge of InDesign was evident, and he was friendly and helpful in answering my many questions. The classroom setup was elegant, modern, and comfortable and created a relaxed environment for learning. Noble Desktop's threefold approach to learning works: the instructor describes and demonstrates a principle in the first step, the student experiences it for himself in the necessary hands-on second step, and the instructor becomes available for one-on-one help in the third step. A winning approach.”

“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.”

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.”

“This is the second time that I have been to a Noble Desktop class and I can't wait to come back for yet another class. I was sent by my job (Prudential) and my whole department raved about Noble before I came - and now I see why. I feel the instructors' approach is very practical and they left me with a strong foundation on which I can expand and learn more. I believe Noble is so successful because of their real commitment to education and helping people understand and apply what they learn. I was really impressed when I was leaving my Photoshop class on the last day and the instructor was giving away his phone number to a student who needed more help developing his personal/business website - it seems that you come to Noble to just "take a class" but you leave with friends that are willing and committed to help you long-term.”

“I approach software classes as paying somebody to read the directions to me out loud, since I don't have the patience to read the book myself. I also want someone who has already figured out which parts of the software program I need and skips the rest. Noble Desktop is perfect for this. I have taken two classes -- 10 years apart -- and both delivered the goods. The curriculum was comprehensive, well-organized, precisely targeted to its stated audience and professionally delivered. The handbook was a bonus. It is well-designed, including the examples (no small issue to a graphic designer), well-written (no small issue to a literate graphic designer) and carefully typeset (no small issue now that we're all typesetters, too!). Yes, I did read that book!”

“As a self-taught html/css/PHP/MySql coder and college-instructed Photoshop/Illustrator guru, Flash was always something that eluded my ability to master, not for lack of trying. I left the class with a firm grip on the program that I hadnt been able to achieve on my own simply through books and online resources. The fact that I achieved such confidence in only three days is nothing short of astounding.”

When Carl handed out our certificates of completion the class in turn gave him a round of applause. That said, I highly recommend Noble Desktop.

This could easily be a recipe for disaster. Instead, Victoria took the material and walked us through it like only a really great teacher can. Even thought there were probably 20 people in the class, she provided individual attention and was truly motivating.

Covered all the basics and more (including the style sheets, master pages, complex find/replaces). This is the perfect class for the seasoned Quark user who fears InDesign... I was converted by lunchtime the first day. Dan knows Quark inside-out and backwards, and was able compare and contrast the logic of the two programs -- a total expert who speaks plainly and succinctly. I'm so impressed, I really want to take more courses at Noble Desktop now.”

“I think Victoria is a very good instructor and the class materials are good and up to date. I believe the course offers a good value for the beginner and is a good refresher course for the experienced user. I have been an instructor in the past for adult Ed programs teaching Desktop Publishing at the Apple Academies in New Jersey, so I understand how difficult it is to teach a beginning course to people with varying degrees of experience.”

“The instructor for the course was excellent. She was a professional who obviously has worked on websites for many years, and has a variety of clients who like her work. She was also had an ability to understand the problems faced by newbies and to explain exactly what she means. This is an unusual quality for a techie. Her speech and enunciation were clear and her spoken sentences grammatical. She was also exceedingly polite and respectful to every student. These qualities are not what one would ordinarily expect in a trade school. I had previously taken an HTML course at NYU night school, and the Noble instructor was far superior to the NYU instructor. The equipment for use in the class was state-of-the-art and well-maintained. There were none of the usual glitches one finds when using equipment at a school. There were no restrictions on the use of the equipment--if you wanted to check your e-mail, you were free to do so. The teaching method is uniquely Noble's--during the lecture, you listen and do not follow along (although you may follow along on computer if you choose to do so). After each lecture (about 1/2 hour to one hour per lecture), you do exercises from the workbook, under the guidance of the instructor. The method is quite satisfying, and works very well.”

“This is the FIRST course I have ever taken when I didn't feel "left behind" when TRYING TO FOLLOW on my computer what the instructor had just covered in front of the students and on screen. Make a mistake or error and try to correct yourself, suddenly the instructor is on to the NEXT area, and then the NEXT, and I'm still in "catch-up mode". This way of instruction does not work for me, and it's a very unsatisfactory learning experience! YOUR TEACHING METHOD is great, and it worked for ME! Sit there, listen to, and watch the instructor go over the next area step-by-step. THEN, with the Training Manual in hand, work on the same exercise AT YOUR OWN PACE and do it correctly. Make a mistake or error, correct yourself OR ask for help, and NOT WORRY you're missing the instructor's NEXT step.”

“As a web content producer and manager of graphic designers, I decided to take a class so I can have a better understand of the software, the terms and the realities of PhotoShop. After the first class I felt that I had a much stronger understanding of terms I had been using for years (and somewhat incorrectly at times) and left the class with a understanding of how so many things are done in photoshop. I felt like the class exercises were the exact right amount of practice for every new skill learned and the 3 week classes of three hours a night twice a week was just the right amount of time to power through and not feel like I had given up my life. I thought the entire experience was fantastic, the instructor was awesome and easy to understand and I have so much knowledge that I didn't have last month. If you want a shortcut into learning a program this is really the best experience I could recommend.”

I think with InDesign I could take a class a week forever and learn something new each time, but considering the fact that I had three days to cover all the basic knowledge that I need to form the foundation for a continuing education in InDesign it was perfect. I feel comfortable diving in and exploring the program and I have the working knowledge that I need to actually create usable documents for my employer while practicing my skills.”

I just finished with four years of college, and the skill with which the course was taught really made my college look bad. Here the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable about the source material. In fact, the instructors were funny and full of humor about a subject that doesn't have a lot of it. They kept the class fun without taking the focus off the source material and putting it on themselves. They did a nice job of giving you just enough instruction to help you along, and knew enough to leave you alone when you had to learn on your own. Really, amazingly well done. I was very impressed.”

This class provided those "A-Ha" moments where the proverbial lightbulb went off--I couldn't believe how easy some of the things I had been struggling with truly were. I was actually looking forward to getting back to work to try out what I learned!”

That was a BIG deciding factor for me in choosing Noble-- to be able to learn on a Mac. Thank you.

I have taken seminars before where the instuctor was only familiar with doing certain kinds of designs. Dan really knew his stuff and could answer questions from setting up files to prepress. The seminar was very fast moving and in depth but not confusing at all. The handbook was easy to follow and it was reassuring to know that if I did have any questions I could look over the handbook.”

“I have been designing web sites for 6 years, and I had always been a bit apprehensive about delving into Flash. Eventually I got tired of farming out Flash work to other designers, so I figured a class would be a good investment. Noble Desktop's 3-day Flash class was an excellent foray into the program and it succeeded in demystifying Flash for me. Now I feel confident that I can take the time to really expand my knowledge and skills on my own time.”

“I just finished taking the Illustrator and Photoshop classes, and I learned more about these programs in the 3-day intensive classes I did in two semesters of my highly respected design school. My instructor was patient with my questions, and was consistently clear and concise in the way he delivered the information. I left the courses feeling much more confident about my range of skills with these programs. I highly recommend these courses to complete beginners as well as to people who might already have a semi-working knowledge of the programs.”

The instructor was great--the pace was perfect and I never felt overwhelmed. I was absolutely astounded at how amazing this program is, and I was especially pleased with the fact that I was able to learn it so easily since I am a writer and not a designer. I was actually really sad when the class ended. If I could, I would take every single class that Noble Desktop offers.”

“I came to the course with what I thought was a good understanding of Quark, having worked with the program for four years. I learned so many new shortcuts and features that will save me a lot of time and improve my layout skills. My only regret is that I didn't take this course sooner. Dan's teaching method is excellent, and the workbook is among the best I've ever seen -- easy to follow, with explanations for just about every step in every process. You don't just learn how to do something, but why you do it. I feel like I have a more complete understanding of the desktop publishing process from the creation of the pages to the final touches for the printer. Your Quark class was recommended by a colleague who had already taken it, and I've already recommended it to another. THANK YOU!”

I’ve been taking CE classes for 12 years at SVA, Pratt, and the New School, and this was the first class to include a bound book of step-by-steps for each exercise, which will be invaluable when I go back to practice.

Powerful computers, huge monitors, a mouse (that works!), latest version of software, PC or MAC preference, comfortable chairs, an exceptional instructor (Josh but I’m sure others are great too), hands-on training, a detailed practice exercise book and a CD, a free T-shirt - everything was there. Compared to other companies, Noble Desktop’s pricing is a joke. I was concerned about quality but I signed up because they also have their class projects on their website (and I completed all of them in class!). I’ll definitely recommend their classes to everyone - even to people who think they already know the stuff.”

I’ve taken a few courses with Noble Desktop and have not been disappointed in any of the classes or instructors. The instruction keeps on getting better! p.s. The language in the books has also greatly improved. The books now give you insight into WHY you are using a certain tool and challenges you to apply the tools that were just taught. Much better then in the past where it was mostly following along. ”

“This is my second class with Noble (I think the first was maybe 5 years ago, but I’ve remembered how thorough the classes cover each program, so I knew this is where I should take this class, even if it meant having to cut out of the office an hour early to schlep into the city by NJ Transit to get to class). I’ve been wanting to learn Illustrator for a long time now and I’m glad I could finally fit this class into my schedule. I feel so empowered now! Dan was a great instructor, who knew his stuff and was able to answer questions well.”
Danielle Steckler

“My instructor (Josh) was definitely at the top of his game without ever going over anyone’s head. Not once did he stumble with a question. He concisely and clearly answered all questions above and beyond what was asked. If all the instructors are this excellent, then I would definitely take another class at Noble Desktop as well as highly recommend to others.”

“I have to admit, I was apprehensive about flying from Germany to attend Noble Desktop’s week-long ColdFusion training. I wasn’t sure about the quality of the course material or the instructor. Fortunately, I was put at ease right away. The course material was both challenging and well-organized, and the instructor was a real subject matter expert who was able to convey key concepts in practical, real-world terms. I highly recommend this course to others.”

“I can highly recommend Noble to anyone who is looking to take a web or graphic design course. I had taken a couple of courses at a community college and was somewhat disappointed. Noble, on the other hand, was a great experience. The instructors I had were both very knowledgeable and most importantly, knew how to teach students effectively. There are a lot of schools out there that are just looking to make a buck, Noble Desktop actually cares about their students.”

“Victoria was remarkably lucid and thorough-- she’s an excellent teacher (who made her way through a sore throat quite bravely) and I can’t tell you how many “ah-ha” moments I had over the course of the 2 days. Dreamweaver makes a lot more sense now. The class was an unqualified success.”

Shayna Adee

“I found the course invaluable. It clarified topics I was uncertain about, plus I learned industry standard techniques. The drawback of being self taught is that over the years I have picked up the bad habits of others while scrounging around for information. It’s definitely better to just take the class. I learned at least 15 things to improve my efficiency and color correction skills. I really appreciated the information on hardware and software optimization, too.”

“As co-owner and creative director of a small but busy design company, I have a continuing need to stay apprised of emerging technology and very little time to do so. I have been largely disappointed in the various new media courses I’ve taken in the past with “instructors” who seemed to teach by the seat of their pants -- only one or two textbook chapters ahead of the rest of the class. That was until I came to Noble. The instructor (in this case, Victoria Torres) demonstrated not only outstanding professionalism and depth of knowledge but a real and genuine sense of caring that we as students walked away with something of value in the end. A world of thanks to the crew and Noble Desktop. I’m sure I’ll see you again...SOON!”

Michele Rashbaum

“ My wife and I both took the HTML basic and Dreamweaver course, and later the JavaScript course. I took the Dreamweaver Advanced course, and also the ColdFusion course. Victoria was the instructor for the basic Dreamweaver course. Dan was the instructor for the advanced Dreamweaver course, as well as the JavaScript course. Shlomy, of course, was the ColdFusion instructor. I can honestly say that I thought all the instructors knew their stuff, and I thought they all did an excellent job of communicating. I enjoyed and benefited from the alternation between demonstration and hands-on learning, and just generally felt that the whole experience was a positive one from the standpoint of the instructors and the methodology. I liked that you had most of the tedious typing already done for most of the classes, at least where possible. At the same time, I liked that where appropriate, we had to get our hands dirty with the code too. I would return to Noble for any course I needed, and Noble would be my first choice for anything I want to learn. I would, and have, and will, recommend Noble to others in the strongest terms. The whole atmosphere and methodology is both enjoyable and conducive to learning. Perhaps the best praise I can offer is that I get the feeling that you and the instructors are genuinely interested in the students actually learning and actually getting something of value for the money they spend. In all cases, I have left your classrooms armed with notes and ideas that I have been able to take to my business and begin implementing right away. Your classes helped me to understand what is possible, where I have been falling short, and what I need to do to get the results I desire. They also helped inspire creativity and ideas that I believe will pay dividends down the road. Although my site hasn’t visibly changed a lot yet, over the weeks ahead it will change drastically and significantly for the better, as I begin rolling out some of the improvements that are either direct or indirect results of the time I spent with you guys. In a world where customer service is all but dead, it is refreshing to come across an organization that does it right...I will look forward to my next Noble experience. ”

“My co-worker at Sports Illustrated took the Illustrator 10 course a few weeks prior and was extremely impressed with how his course was taught which prompted me to take Photoshop 7. I was a little nervous to take the course not knowing if it would start with the basics. My preexisting knowledge of the program was spotty and minimal, but it covered the absolute basic info. and progressively moved up. Our instructor, Josh was fantastic! He articulates his thoughts succinctly and clearly to explain the details of the processes. This helped a great deal. All in all, very, very satisfied.”

Noble has found those people!”

The exercise book and CD are great because I know that if I forget how to do something, I can easily replicate the experience from class. The environment was nice and relaxing. I really got a tremendous amount from the three days I was there. I already know at least four immediate things I can do with what I learned as well as using Dreamweaver to redesign my web page.”

I came to this with absolutely no experience (okay, I did the HTML exercises on webmonkey, but didn’t get past headlines).

“ The HTML/Dreamweaver class is the best web design course I’ve taken. I’ve attended many graphic design courses at various NY colleges, including SVA, and this far surpassed them. It was extremely organized, the instructor (Victoria) was very knowledgeable and as a bonus, she was a great teacher! I loved the idea of “sitting back and watching” as the instructor taught us and then doing the lessons. I also appreciated how the Training Book was set up...it walked us through step by step in each assignment. Many lesson books build on what you’ve learned before and just assume that you remember those steps for later lessons, which can be very frustrating. It was just a great experience and I will definitely come back for more classes as my skills advance. Also, as a side note. I felt the environment was great. We weren’t squished together...I really felt like I had my own space to work and spread out. I was also impressed that all the computers actually worked and weren’t antiques (something you don’t find at art colleges when taking continuing ed. classes). ”

“ I had a really wonderful time during the Flash class and I really love Moneta - I think she’s a great instructor and had excellent pace in communicating all there is to learn in the course syllabus. The class materials themselves are extremely useful as well, a good balance between technical explanations and good exercises (animation tricks). I think the course handbook was written very well also and easy to follow. Towards the end of the course, I was a lot less intimidated by the software and felt extremely inspired to learn more about Flash. I am definitely interested in taking the Flash Advanced class and very looking forward to the next enrollment schedule. Thank you. ”

“I don’t know what to say. Is there anything that could be said when one is beyond satisfied? Okay, let me try... “Classes and instructors you wish you had in every course you ever took in college, and all the other training classes.” Seriously, I loved Victoria as our instructor and I will definitely seek Noble Desktop the next time I take a class for the web and its design. You’ve spoiled me (in a good way) by exposing me to your “way-above-par” standard of teaching and course curriculum.”

“Learning from professionals who have practical and personal knowledge of the applications proved to be extremely helpful. Both instructors used real-life scenarios to illustrate the lessons and demonstrated more than one way to complete a task. I feel better equipped to navigate both programs on my own, not just qualified to repeat the exercises which were covered in class. I will definitely return to Noble for additional classes (the 10% discount doesn’t hurt either). Thanks.”

Jennifer Abadi

“ Before I walked into the Noble Desktop classroom, I felt like I was taking a serious risk. I made a large payment to take a class that was only going to last 3 days. However, I have been laid-off since November and was really interested in going into my own web design business. I needed to hone my skills, and fast! This was the best bet without having to spend endless hours in a classroom. Now, having completed this course, I feel like this was the best business investment I could have possibly made. The class well exceeded my expectations. I learned so much about Flash that I actually feel competent. I would recommend this to anybody. ”

All I have to do is now practice and put all the great information to work. Also, I’m impressed of the method of teaching that’s in the handbook and the accompanying CD to practice at my own pace!

It was a really good balance between learning from watching and listening, and learning by doing. She expressed interest in the material, and was enthusiastic about it, which made the class even more interesting. She had good eye-contact with the students, which made it easier for me to pay attention. I liked the way she talked to us...not at us. I recommend Noble Desktop to anyone...from raw beginners to experts wishing to refine their skills.”

I previously took a semester of Adobe Premiere in college and feel I learned more in the three days at Noble Desktop than I did in 12 weeks of college classes. I can’t wait to take the Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator courses with your company.”

“I was extremely pleased with the class and hope to take more in the future. The presentations and exercises were clear, thorough and to the point. It is obvious the instructors at Noble Desktop are true professionals with working knowledge of the programs they teach. I’ve endured some fairly horrible program workshops in the last several months, presented by another organization, (whose name I won’t mention), that were replete with useless theories and led by fumbling idiots. So, I can’t tell you what a tremendous relief it was to walk away from a class and actually feel that I had obtained some useful lessons and tangible directions that I will be able to apply to my daily work routine.”
Mary Ryan

“Everything was just as it should be. I knew this from visiting years ago, and I was right.

“I have finished the Dreamweaver/HTML class, registered for an upcoming Flash 5 class, and I also see the Photoshop and Fireworks on the horizon. My honest opinion is that learning from Noble Desktop’s instructors is learning from the best. In addition to being a webmaster, I am also a certified Police Instructor- and I can tell when instructors are enthusiastic and knowledgeable in their field. That said, Noble training stands head and shoulders over the competition.”

“ NobleDesktop.com provided a highly informative and in-depth class that covered all fundamental aspects of Flash in a fully comprehensive manner. Our instructor Victoria Torres took us through Flash step-by-step while explaining the logic behind what we were doing, which to me is one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable elements of any learning process. I am highly satisfied with the quality of education I received from NobleDesktop.com and plan on returning ASAP for the Advanced Flash 5 Class! ”
