Since 1990 we have perfected the craft of teaching. If students get hung up on an issue, we tweak the class to make it better. We’re the longest running independent training center for code and design in NYC.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
Christophe was a good instructor. He was always willing to help and listened attentively whenever we had doubts.
I've been to other bootcamps in NYC on UX design, and guaranteed, this place is where you would want to be. There are a lot of options for classes and certifications that you can choose from that provide both day and evening schedules. The staff is welcoming and always helpful. It was overall a great experience and I was able to take with me the skills I need to improve on my design space.
My experience was great, I learned a lot, and it provided information on how I should look at certain things in order to be productive and enhance the information learned. Thank you!
Michael is great. I find that while the pace of the class is fast, Michael takes time to revisit steps or topics while also taking questions/making sure everyone understands the material. Outside of the class material, he offers insight into the world of UX/UI and is authentic in addressing our questions and expectations for finding jobs or entering the design world and starting from the bottom.
This class and Michael gave me a good opportunity to learn something new and improve my skills in UX and UI.
I had tried the UX/UI Design program before at another place, but it made me want to run away; it felt very complicated. Here at Noble Desktop, under the instruction of Michael Suen, everything was really easy and more comprehensive. I loved it! Now I can say I am a UX/UI Designer, ready to take on any task!
Gerry Rufman made learning motion graphics both fun and challenging, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. His dedication and personalized feedback have significantly boosted my skills and confidence.
Noble Desktop was a great starting point for switching careers. It gave me the techniques and confidence to start a new chapter in my life.
Michael Suen is a phenomenal UX/UI teacher. He is knowledgeable, but equally importantly, he always makes lessons compelling and easy to understand. He's kind, patient, and helpful.
Noble Desktop is definitely a HIDDEN GEM for hands-on training and certifications. So glad I signed up for the classes. Jerron Smith is the perfect instructor to teach the Video Editing & Motion Graphics Certificate: thorough, detailed, patient, super engaging, and personable. The class is interactive, and he encourages participation and conversation. Noble Desktop is a HOME RUN and the price is well worth it.
If you're into graphic design, you have got to take this class!
I didn't know what to expect when taking a UX design class, but I'm very happy that I went through with it. I think it will be a life-changing step for me to switch/advance my career as an artist and designer!
This program was great. You get to meet new people because the course has you working in groups a lot of times. The content was great and gives a good insight into what you would expect from learning a new skill set.
This class really boosted my knowledge of graphic design and the Adobe Suite. The pacing was excellent and the assignments were challenging.
Absolutely loved my experience in this class! I learned so much about Adobe and how to use their products to build a custom portfolio that I can send to future employers. Very excited to see where my newfound skills will take me and how I can continue to evolve those skills!
Eugenio is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and talented. He shared lots of industry insight and made the class interesting beyond simply learning the skills in the programs. I would definitely recommend taking a class led by Eugenio.
I feel like I learned what I need to know to build a basic website, thanks to the instructor's explanations, demos, examples, and walkthroughs. The code examples and comments made in class are excellent references for future website development projects.
Knowledgeable instructors!
Noble Desktop is a great place to learn, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to start or expand their design and coding careers! They prepare you for the job market and for you to be ahead of the curve in your career. I am actively applying to jobs and when I look for a product designer or UX/UI positions, everything I am learning in class is listed in job descriptions, so that is a huge advantage I will have once I start working. Five stars all around! :)
I’m completing the Graphic Design Certificate feeling like I have direction. I am inspired and excited, and I entered this course feeling like I had no idea where I was going to go from here - I just knew I had to start with a certification of some sort. It was a huge shift for me, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it and needs a change in their work life.
This class was very informative and fun to take! I learned how to use the main Adobe programs and learned many new skill sets while completing my portfolio work. Excellent class.
Taking the Graphic Design Certificate course has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The teachers are top-notch, yet relatable and always helpful. I've learned an incredible amount in a short span of time, and I'm already seeing results from the hard work I put in. Lastly, the environment both on campus and for remote learning via Zoom was always comfortable and friendly.
Jerron is a wonderful instructor! He does a great job of teaching the fundamentals of Premiere Pro (plus more) to all of his students within this class. His examples are easy to follow. He has a great deal of patience and is always willing to answer any questions you may have. He is funny and smart, and will keep you up for all hours of the lectures. Respectful and amazing instructor for the Video Editing & Motion Graphics certificate program!
I took a motion graphics and video editing course and I couldn't be happier. Jerron was a really great instructor and we all learned so much. Lessons/exercises were well-made and the industry tips we got from Jerron are so valuable, because it's a knowledge you can't just Google out. Whenever I needed something from the team (and that was pretty often), they would reply promptly and they were at our disposal for the entire duration of the class (and longer). I would highly recommend Noble Desktop to anyone - the courses are worth every penny and I'm pretty sure it's the best you can get for this type of training school.
I’ve been attending Noble seminars and classes going back to Adobe’s first launch of InDesign and Creative Suite. In fact, the last set of classes I took, in After Effects, has kept me going with my biggest client, Cognizant. It was especially helpful for an old-school designer to learn new-school skills. I’m so grateful that I could add a few extra years to my career. It’s made a world of difference. Noble Desktop is the best!
