  • Kim Adlerman Jul 25, 2025

    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!

  • Janell G. Jul 2, 2025

    Eugenio was super knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoyed learning the material from someone well-versed in graphic design. Great experience!

  • Margaret W. Jun 6, 2025

    Eugenio is amazing! He is patient, kind, funny, and knowledgeable. I've taken a couple of his bootcamp classes, and they've been awesome. I would return for another anytime!

  • Amelie Yeager May 22, 2025

    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.

  • Lejla M. Apr 24, 2025

    I had some knowledge of InDesign and was a little worried about how much would be applicable, but it exceeded my expectations. And I really enjoyed the instructor.

  • Micayla Russotto Apr 3, 2025

    This class packed a lot into a short amount of time, but the material made it easy to keep up with! The class was fun and engaging, and I enjoyed the material we got to create!

  • Catherine K. Apr 3, 2025

    Eugenio was amazing. If I enroll in another class, I would want to take his course. He was very patient and clearly explained the process.

  • Colin M. Apr 2, 2025

    Eugenio was a great instructor, a very good communicator, and very helpful.

  • Camille C. Apr 2, 2025

    Eugenio was incredible! The class was fast-paced but never felt rushed. He was very patient with any questions and explained things very well, including the how and why on how to use certain elements. It was a great experience and very seamless to log on online.

  • Elsa L. Apr 2, 2025

    Eugenio was a great instructor and took time to answer questions for students of all different levels.

  • Albertina Cisneros Apr 2, 2025

    I really enjoyed this class and feel like I learned so much! Eugenio is outstanding!

  • Siena Gross Apr 2, 2025

    Amazing course! Definitely recommend

  • Elaina C. Feb 21, 2025

    Eugenio is very calm and personable. This was my first class in the graphic design course, and he took his time and went through each exercise slowly and clearly. He made sure the class understood and didn't have any issues.

  • Thalia R. Jan 30, 2025

    The class content is useful and gives a broad view of what can be achieved with InDesign. I had a positive experience and look forward to future classes with this instructor. He thoroughly explains assignments and InDesign concepts and shares real-world tips and tricks.

  • Karen McCally Jan 9, 2025

    I have tried in bits and pieces to teach myself InDesign over the years. I am very glad I finally enrolled in this bootcamp! With a live instructor in a small class, this bootcamp is far more effective than any set of instructional videos I've ever plodded through. Your questions are answered in real time (and the instructor is available on email as well), the assignments are wide-ranging, and there is ample opportunity to review recordings and a workbook to boot. I'm not an expert after 3 days, but I have the tools I need to practice and become one.

  • Alexis M. Jan 8, 2025

    I genuinely enjoyed this course! I found the classes to fly by and feel confident in my InDesign skills. I took it remotely but it was almost perfect that way since I was able to share my screen and have an instructor there most of the time. Having class recordings to catch up on was a benefit as well.

  • Laura Duffy Jul 11, 2024

    I highly recommend Noble Desktop! You'll leave these classes with the confidence to work professionally in any design environment. This is the second time I've taken classes at ND, and their knowledge and approach have been consistently stellar.

  • Jeremy Larlee Jul 10, 2024

    A great place to get the basics of InDesign!

  • Melanie R. Jul 10, 2024

    I'm genuinely having a great time learning all these new skills, even when I sometimes think the challenges seem intimidating at first. Eugenio is such a kind, patient teacher with an encyclopedic knowledge of a multitude of Adobe programs. He explains things in a straightforward way and is always happy to repeat things if people need. I look forward to every class, and if I could, I'd be there in person.

  • Nicole G. Jul 10, 2024

    Eugenio was an amazing teacher!! I attended the class virtually, and he was super helpful in explaining how to use InDesign and sharing tips/tricks. I highly reccommend!

  • RenĂ©e B. Jul 10, 2024

    Eugenio is an excellent instructor. He presented a huge amount of material in a clear and thorough way, and his knowledge was encyclopedic. I highly recommend this course (InDesign Bootcamp).

  • Isabella Velazquez-Booker Jul 9, 2024

    I recommend this class to anyone who is looking to use InDesign. The instructor was patient and informative and the content was truly useful. I walked out feeling a lot more capable than when I went in, with examples to show what I learned!

  • Quinn Anderson Jun 24, 2024

    This class is great for beginners as well as those with a basic understanding of InDesign. It offers a concise overview of many of the program's tools and capabilities and a step-by-step guide to creating a few different material types. What I have learned has improved my workflow and design files.

  • Marjorie Sinclair May 24, 2024

    This class is one of the best I have taken. The instructor is knowledgeable and very approachable. We learned a lot in three days.

  • Erin W. May 22, 2024

    I so enjoyed this class, particularly because of this instructor. It's a terrific basic introduction and the perfect amount of instruction and practice. Also very helpful to have all the media and fonts available ahead of time.
