  • Emma Mohr May 14, 2025

    I highly enjoyed learning with Noble Desktop. The courses I took are paced very well, and had me feeling confident in what I learned by the end!

  • Cynthia Seymour May 12, 2024

    I highly recommend this course for anyone eager to delve deeper into the world of SEO. You won't regret it!

  • Mary Jo Ernst-Diab Nov 10, 2023

    As a "senior" student, I was not a fan of social media other than having a very selective set of professional connections on LinkedIn. Salim presented various social media channels throughout this class and helped me tailor a campaign strategically aligned with my business. Great guidance!

  • Daniel Fernandez Aug 21, 2023

    If you're looking for a digital marketing class to take, I recommend Noble Desktop. Amazing experience!

  • Cristina Del Castillo Aug 21, 2023

    Classes with Salim were really great! He is a great teacher and throughout the course, he was invested in us learning, participating, and bringing positive energy and dynamics into the class.

  • Dana S. Aug 21, 2023

    Very happy that I signed up for the Digital Marketing Certificate. I am looking to switch careers and this program taught me many digital marketing skills and insights that I will take with me.

  • Amy S. Aug 4, 2023

    The knowledge and resources given in this class have boosted my confidence in delivering professional SEO. I learned so much the first time taking it, and after the second time around, I feel that I can be an SEO expert.

  • Donna DeLucia Feb 28, 2023

    As a senior citizen returning to the classroom after a long career in Advertising, Marketing, and Graphic Design, Noble Desktop was perfect for me. I was able to brush up on design skills, learn the latest trends in social media, and all in the comfort of my home. The instructors were outstanding and always helpful with constructive feedback. Can't wait to take my next class!

  • Lisa Dowe Creative Director @ Dowe Design Studio Feb 11, 2022

    I needed to learn more about digital marketing, SEO, Google Analytics, and Google Ad campaigns. This class was perfect! The instructor (Nicole McCullum) was excellent, informative, and answered all our questions. There were interactive projects in class to help the learning process. Overall a great class and I learned a lot.

  • Osaze Olumhense Digital Marketing Manager @ Def Jam Recordings - Universal Music Group Dec 10, 2021

    If you’re reading this and haven’t signed up for a course yet, please do. You’ll learn so much and will be able to apply the teachings in real time. Up until I started learning with Noble, I was self-taught. Years of experimentation and trial and error. I was good, but I wanted to be better. I wanted to take things to the next level and increase my skill set. Then I found Noble, and the rest is history. Noble opened my eyes to endless possibilities. I now see the software that I’ve been using for years in a completely different light. I was able to learn remotely from incredible teachers with years of hands-on experience in their respective industries. I’m so glad I decided to learn with Noble.

  • Manizaay Gala Account Manager @ Code3 Dec 6, 2021

    Running my own start-up business back in India for 3 years has been an enriching experience for me. 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. Our batch had a diverse mix of people working in different streams of life from who one could learn, share personal experiences and of course our professor Nicole McCullum, was one of the best. Right from her teaching style, to the course material and her interactive classroom discussions, she made learning nothing less than a fun and educative experience. Since I came to NYC is the dreaded year of 2020, finding a job was close to impossible with the hiring lows and companies downsizing. Even then I kept hope and kept looking in different avenues of Advertising and Marketing. 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.

  • Victoria Moran Founder and Director @ Main Street Vegan Academy Oct 27, 2021

    Before this class, I didn't see the point of LinkedIn for a self-employed person like me, but it's now really clear and I'll use the platform much more effectively.

  • Victoria Moran Founder and Director @ Main Street Vegan Academy Oct 27, 2021

    If you want to grasp IG in a fun, fast-paced day, this is the class for you. The instructor is a beam of liveliness and energy. The whole day was a major uplift and I feel so much more IG-savvy.

  • Maddy Miller Oct 22, 2021

    Nicole was a great instructor and took the time to make sure everyone understood the material she was covering.

  • Sanju S. Oct 22, 2021

    Nicole is knowledgeable, professional, and teaches everything thoroughly! Very helpful and pays attention to each and every student in the class.

  • Diamond W. Oct 22, 2021

    Nicole was GREAT!!! She did a great job making sure she interacted with her online students, along with the in-class students. Not an easy task! Thank you, Nicole.

  • Khadim Dieng @ S'wel Jan 10, 2019

    The instructor was absolutely wonderful. She very thoroughly went through each facet of digital marketing, was engaging and descriptive, and left me with a much better grasp of digital marketing generally. I would absolutely take another class with her!
