Success Stories and Student Testimonials

“Since receiving my Full Stack Web Development certificate, I’ve received numerous job offers across a variety of industries which has given me the confidence to choose an organization I’m genuinely passionate about. My favorite teachers knew about almost all of the issues we encountered, and gave us time to try and figure it out ourselves before revealing the solution. Though I already had some intermediate-level knowledge of some of the skills being taught, I picked up on some extremely useful tips and tools that greatly improved my ability to code effectively. So whether you’re a beginner, or already know a bit about certain skills, there is still a lot to gain from attending a course.”

“Once I moved to NYC in 2020 and had some time in hand (due to Covid), I decided to learn something that would help sharpen my skills in a field that I use to only overlook and had no hands-on experience in: Social Media. I then came across Noble Desktop and joining the Digital Marketing course here has been one of the best decisions I have made…Finally in 2021 once the Covid situation got better and the job market opened up, I started applying for jobs once again and to my surprise with an MBA degree in Advertising, a Noble Desktop certificate in Digital Marketing and some online courses I took in Marketing, I landed myself a job in Social Marketing at a great firm called Code3. The things that Nicole taught me at Noble Desktop was put to the test on my job and It is then that I understood the value of the Digital Marketing program much more.”

“My experience with Noble Desktop was exactly what I was looking for! I went from knowing nothing about graphic design to getting expert training all via Zoom. All of the professors I had were welcoming, engaging, and made me feel comfortable asking questions and seeking advice on how to use the Adobe apps. I have since been able to pick up some freelance graphic design work as well as gain a new role in advertising/marketing with my current company that had been previously outsourced to a graphic design firm.”
