What Noble Desktop students say

Reviews from Noble Desktop students, as published on nobledesktop.com/testimonials. These are individual experiences and are not a promise of any particular result. Reviews for a specific program appear on that program's page.
Can't recommend Noble Desktop enough! Michael was amazing and helped me so much in steering me in the right direction of pursuing a UX/UI design career. He encouraged us to really think through any problems we encountered with the material. Eugenio was also outstanding! He was so patient and laid out a great foundation for the certification program. Really top-notch instructors here.
Alicia Roderick
I am shocked by how far I have come in such a short amount of time. The instructors, materials, and support provided to me have made me a competent computer scientist.
Jacob Galvin
Dan is phenomenal at teaching. He’s so patient and very good at effectively explaining the course material as you go along. He’s super enthusiastic, which is what definitely kept me engaged in a program like AutoCAD. So reliable and always attentive to every student’s learning!
Kerri Shaw
I had a great experience learning motion graphics at Noble. Their formula using "real world" scenarios really works. Loved my classes, my instructor Michael Venzor, and the friendly atmosphere.

The benefits Noble Desktop accepts

Our approved programs are open to veterans, service members, and eligible dependents using any of the three chapters below. VA decides who is eligible and what each benefit pays. Our School Certifying Official handles the certification with VA once you enroll.

Chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill®

VA pays your tuition and fees directly to us, at your eligibility percentage. You may also be eligible for a monthly housing allowance. Contact VA to confirm your eligibility.

Chapter 31, Veteran Readiness and Employment

For a service-connected disability and an employment barrier. Your VR&E counselor authorizes the training and we bill VA directly, so start with your counselor.

Chapter 35, Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance

For eligible spouses and children. It pays a set monthly amount rather than tuition, so it will not necessarily cover a full program on its own.

Not sure which benefit you have or how much entitlement is left? That is what the conversation below is for, and you can always confirm independently with VA at va.gov/education or the GI Bill® hotline at 888-442-4551.

Speak to a representative

Not sure which program fits, what your benefit covers, or how the housing allowance works for an in-person schedule? Leave your details and one of our School Certifying Officials will call or email you within one business day.

Prefer to talk now? ‪(212) 226-4149 9am to 6pm ET, Monday to Friday.

Name and email are required.

No SSN or documents needed for this step. By sending, you agree Noble Desktop may contact you about VA-approved programs. See our Privacy Policy.

Questions veterans ask

Are these programs really approved for VA education benefits?

Yes. Noble Desktop's approved programs are listed with VA under facility code 25112332. Look up Noble Desktop in the VA GI Bill® Comparison Tool to see the approved program list. Approval means the programs met the standards of the State Approving Agency and VA. It is not an endorsement or recommendation of Noble Desktop by either one.

Do I have to attend in person?

To use VA benefits at Noble Desktop, yes: our approved programs meet in person at 185 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. If you want a fully online option, our partner school VDCI holds its own VA approval for online programs; see veterans.vdci.edu.

Will my benefits cover the whole cost?

It depends on your benefit chapter, your entitlement percentage, and how much entitlement you have left. Chapter 33 at 100% typically covers tuition and fees for an approved program. Chapter 35 and Chapter 30 pay a fixed monthly amount and often will not cover a full program by themselves. One of our School Certifying Officials will go through the expected balance with you before you enroll rather than after.

How do I enroll using my benefits?

Choose your program and start date from the schedule below. Select Enroll, proceed to checkout, and choose Veterans Affairs. Our School Certifying Official will confirm your details and certify your enrollment with VA. Send your Certificate of Eligibility to hello@nobledesktop.com.

I have partial benefits, 90% or less. Can I still enroll?

Yes. Contact our School Certifying Official before you enroll to review your benefit percentage, expected balance, and available payment plans.

How does Chapter 31 work here?

Your Veteran Readiness and Employment counselor authorizes the training and submits the authorization, and we bill VA directly. Chapter 31 is a separate authorization from GI Bill® eligibility, so start with your counselor. Tell us you are Chapter 31 and we will coordinate from our side.

Can I take two programs at the same time?

Not concurrently. You can complete them one after another. VA will not certify overlapping enrollments, so we sequence them.

Who do I call at VA with benefit questions?

The GI Bill® hotline is 888-442-4551, and benefit information is at benefits.va.gov/gibill. For questions about your payments and entitlement, VA is the authority, not us.

I want to make sure my schedule will qualify me for full-time benefits. Can I check in advance?

Yes. Please email hello@nobledesktop.com to have our School Certifying Official review your schedule and confirm whether you will be considered a full-time student.

Can I attend multiple VA Eligible Certificate Programs at Noble Desktop?

Yes! As long as your benefits cover it and you finish one program before starting the next, you are welcome to come back for more of our courses.

Can I attend Noble Desktop's self-paced courses using VA benefits?

No, self-paced courses are not approved by the VA.

Does Noble Desktop accept Chapter 35?

Yes, all our VA Eligible Certificate Programs are eligible for Chapter 35. 

Please note that Chapter 35 payments will not necessarily cover the full cost of your program on their own, and most students need a separate source of funding to pay for their program. Learn more about Chapter 35 rates.

How do I register for a course using Chapter 35?

You can register for one of our VA Eligible Certificate Programs using our standard student registration process. After you enter your payment details and check out, please email a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to hello@nobledesktop.com. We will then certify your registration with the VA.

Does Noble Desktop accept VET TEC?

No, we are not eligible for VET TEC.

I am eligible to have hardware and/or software funded by the VA through my Chapter 31 benefits. How do I find out what I'll need for my program at Noble Desktop?

All of our VA Approved courses require access to a PC or Mac (laptop or desktop). Required software is listed on the course pages. For more specific technical specifications and recommendations, please email hello@nobledesktop.com. Please note that while we can provide general tech requirements, we cannot provide information on pricing, purchasing options, or options and/or recommendations for equipment not included in our general tech requirements.

I want to speak with someone about my VA registration. Is there a phone number I can call?

Yes. Please call ‪(212) 226-4149 during our regular business hours or book a Zoom appointment to speak with a training representative.

Are there any resources where I can learn more about the GI Bill® and other VA education benefits?
