“Noble Desktop's classes are the best! I come all the way from Texas because they offer the most "bang for your buck." This is my second class from Noble Desktop, and I fully plan to take other courses in the future. The instructors are knowledgeable and approachable. The method of demonstration first and then completing an exercise really helps with retention of the information. The exercises are great, easy to follow and have lots of tips and reminders built in. Best of all -- free t-shirt!”

“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.”

“Victoria's demeanor was relaxed and professional. She balanced time and specific questions in order to benefit the entire class. 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.”

I now plan on taking other classes.”

One day after my class ended I was already knee-deep in creating my first website.

“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.”

“I had taken both HTML and Dreamweaver courses with other schools in the past. Although the course instructors were knowledgeable I nonetheless found it somewhat difficult to absorb the lessons. 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!”

Darryl Kaalund

“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.”

“Class was exceptional. My Flash Advanced instructor was able to harness and convey the power of Flash/ActionScript. My experience is best described by a Queen tune from the motion picture Flash Gordon:

Flash, a-ah, he's a miracle Flash, a-ah, king of the impossible

He's for everyone of us Stand for everyone of us He saved with a mighty hand (ahhh, ah) Every man every woman (ahh, ah) Every child - he's a mighty flash (ahh, ahh, ah).”

“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!”

“The classroom set-up with the projection screen was very helpful. I loved that the class files that we discussed and worked on were included with the book so I could review and practice those same projects at home to really solidify what I'd learned.”

“The small class was absolutely fantastic. Coming from a photographic & print background I had little experience with Flash. I felt after taking the course I gained an extremely solid foundation to a powerful new medium.”

“I've worked with InDesign, Photoshop, QuarkXPress, and FrameMaker, but Illustrator is the first computer class I have ever taken that compelled me to stay after and play with.”

“After having attended a Dreamweaver class with another company and leaving the class more confused than when I walked in, I decided to give Noble Desktop a shot. I am very glad I did. The instructor was fantastic, and taught the class in a well planned out manner drawing on her years of experience with the product each step of the way. The course material was easy to follow and will make great reference to look back to in the future. Overall, I am delighted I went with Noble Desktop and will be taking any classes I can with them in the future.”

“The class was great and we had Dan Lane as our instructor. He was very knowledgeable and had that personal touch that made everyone comfortable with learning the concepts needed to master Final Cut Pro. I look forward to taking many more classes at Noble Desktop.”
