Photo Retouching Certificate

Students are not required to complete any work outside of class. However, students are encouraged to practice the skills learned in class and develop a portfolio of work.

Noble’s typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students.

We have scheduled the certificate classes in various tracks (day, night, or weekend) for your convenience, but you can customize your schedule.

When creating a custom schedule, you’ll be able to choose between the various available dates for each class in the certificate program. So if you can’t make a particular class, you can choose a different scheduled instance that works better for you. You’ll still need to take the various courses in the recommended order as shown above, except for Adobe Lightroom which can be taken any time.

Yes, this course is open to beginners. Students must be comfortable using a computer. No other prior knowledge is required.

How does attending “live online” work?

• Students can attend this training remotely through screen sharing software (we use Zoom).
• Participants can hear the instruction, ask questions, and even share their screen with the instructor.
• For audio you can use your computer’s microphone/speakers or call a phone number that we’ll provide.
• Classes are activity-based and taught by a live instructor, so we strongly encourage students who are local to the area to attend in person!
• You will need your own computer and copy of any required software. If you don’t have the software, you can usually do a free trial or purchase your own license. If you need assistance, contact us at hello@nobledesktop.com

You have some options:

• You can watch a recording of the session. We will provide any course materials.

There are no extra fees or taxes for our courses. The price you see on this page is the maximum you’ll pay us.

However, if you plan to take the course live online, you may need to obtain required software. We’ll help you get set up with a free trial of paid software prior to the class. Most of our coding classes utilize freely-available open-source software. For most of our design and motion graphics courses, we will help you get set up with a free trial of Adobe Creative Cloud. If you attend the course in-person, we will have a computer already set up for you with all of the required software for no additional cost.

This program is a discounted package of classes that is 15–25% off the individual class prices, so additional discounts do not apply.
