Noble Desktop certificates and Dan Rodney (as well as others) were a critical element contributing to my success and career trajectory. In both my academic and professional life. I couldn’t have gotten where I have, the honor of teaching such talented tech and design wizards, as I do now at the illustrious and cutting edge universities, had I not made sure to train with the best of the best in real time.
Assistant Professor, Touro College & University System
Digital Design Certificate Online is rated 4.8 stars by 858 students
I have studied digital computer classes at many different schools over the years. Noble Desktop's way of teaching is the best I've ever experienced, especially for the way I learn best. Not having to take notes while looking at the presentation computer and trying to do the exercises simultaneously makes so much sense. Plus, the step-by-step book makes it easy to practice after the class is over.
Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator used to make me insecure, but I feel confident in using these software because of this bootcamp! Very grateful to my instructor, Joey, for the patience in going through each lesson and our questions with dedication and professionalism.
Eugenio was excellent and always patient, and wanted our questions and feedback. His experience in the digital world and industry was great. Thank you, Eugenio! A+
Fun and engaging; the book is easy to understand. Would do again!
Dan was an excellent instructor. He had the perfect combination of knowledge and charisma. I enjoyed how he made the content relatable to real-life scenarios.
The Figma Bootcamp bridged a critical skills gap to effectively leverage the platform. I now have the skills to be more effective and efficient with product design.
Eugenio is great and very knowledgeable. It has been a complete joy getting to know him and learning from him. I overall love Noble.
I feel much more confident about using Figma now that I've completed the class.
A great class to learn Figma! You are working on authentic samples from the industry and learn through following up on exercises.
Eugenio is a great teacher, he is very understanding and patient. I enjoyed the class and learned a lot more Photoshop techniques that I didn't know before.
I appreciate that Noble Desktop takes care to maintain a high standard for educating. Christophe was clearly dedicated to creating a good learning experience for us.
Christophe shows exceptional patience and attentiveness throughout his Figma Bootcamp. He consistently took the time to ensure every student key concepts, offering clear explanations and personalized feedback when needed. He's approachable and encouraging while creating a comfortable learning environment. I would attend another class soon.
My experience was great! The class offered a comfortable, supportive environment where everyone was excited to learn. I appreciated the flexibility to take short breaks and the instructor’s engaging approach made the learning experience even better.
Eugenio is a great instructor, very patient and understanding, and a nice person.
This course is an excellent intro to AI in graphic design, which showed us many ways to save time and expand the possibilities of our design work. At the same time, Eugenio makes it very clear that AI does not replace graphic design skills. He shows why a poor designer is never going to become a good one just by using AI. But also, why AI is so helpful and essential to designers working in a competitive and fast-paced marketplace.
Great. I learned a lot about what is available in the programs today. Thank you for all your help!
I would highly encourage all graphic design certificate graduates to take advantage of this course! It's a wonderful addition to all the foundational learning covered for Adobe and will be necessary to know as the world and AI continue to converge. Eugenio helped make AI seem less overwhelming and helped me understand how it can be used practically. I am sure learning about AI will improve your design capabilities and expand your imagination, like it did for me!
Dan is a great instructor; he speaks clearly and has a calm and friendly approach to the class. He keeps the class articulated and interesting, and takes his time to answer all students' questions.
Great experience for all ages! I just love the virtual format on Zoom.
The Adobe InDesign Bootcamp is an exceptional course for both beginners and those, like me, who needed a refresher course. Eugenio is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient. So much information was covered in a short time, taught in an organized and effective way. I also found Eugenio approachable and motivating, with a good sense of humor. It's fabulous that you are allowed to repeat the class for free within a year, as well!
Eugenio was very helpful and provided a lot of feedback, and helped solve a lot of students' questions. I learned a lot about branding and being able to deliver the 'theme' or 'feeling' to the customer or client. Helped me understand more about the whole purpose of a graphic designer - not just to create graphics but to show what you/client would want in their product or message.
Eugenio was super knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoyed learning the material from someone well-versed in graphic design. Great experience!
I had very little knowledge of what AI has morphed into, but after two days with Eugenio, I now know enough to really embrace the technology. So much was covered, and nothing felt rushed. The instruction, pacing, and great vibes made every moment I was there worth it. Love the Noble courses and NYC! Life-enhancing experiences.
The InDesign Bootcamp was incredibly valuable and really immerses you in the software so you feel comfortable and confident each time you use it. I had barely any InDesign experience before taking this class, and I came out of it with a solid foundation of how to incorporate it into my work and create materials I can be proud of.
I learned a lot from Christophe, especially because he explained the lessons in a real-world context with many examples. He went beyond just teaching the tool and its functions.
