Frequently Asked Questions

All of our programs are taught by expert instructors who have extensive teaching experience and industry knowledge.

NextGen's classes range in size but always follow an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

All our courses are available live online. Attendees can interact with the instructor in real-time and will learn with hands-on projects. Students can also choose attend in-person in NYC (185 Madison Avenue).

All of our courses are open to students with little to no background in coding. Some students come in with no coding experience at all while others have extensive experience in one or more programming language. Our courses are designed for everyone to learn and be challenged!

Students will need basic computer skills to attend any NextGen course.

For in-person classes, we provide a computer for use during the course. Live online attendees should have their own computer.

Mac or PC is available (choose at checkout) for most courses.

For day classes that run 10am to 4pm ET, there is a one-hour lunch break, typically around 1pm. The exact break time may vary. There may also be some shorter (5-10 minute) breaks throughout the course depending on the session's pacing.

For classes that run 10am to 1pm, 1:30pm to 4:30pm, or in another three-hour time slot, there are only short breaks.

You have some options:

• If you can’t come into the classroom, but can still attend remotely (live online using a screen sharing app), please let us know ahead of time. You can access the Zoom link to attend your class remotely by logging into classesportal.com. 
• You can make up that session in a future offering of the class, provided that the class is running with an available seat.
• You can watch the class recording and go through the workbook exercises for that session. Ask your instructor about what you’ll be missing.

International students are welcome to take our classes, either live online or in-person if they are traveling to the U.S. You do not need a student (F1) visa to take classes at Noble Desktop. 

We are unable to assist with visa applications or sponsorship. 

No, NextGen classes cannot be counted as college credit.

However, NextGen classes can be a great way to prepare for college classes in coding, design, computer science, finance, and other topics.

NextGen Bootcamp has been running summer tech courses since 2016, starting with a summer coding intensive led by a Harvard computer science professor. We have since branched out into offering courses in coding, data science, graphic design, finance, video editing, motion graphics, and more.

NextGen's classes are primarily geared toward ages 13-18.

Currently, NextGen Bootcamp does not offer payment plans or financial aid.

For select classes, NextGen offers seasonal Early Bird Discounts for early registrants. Early Bird Discounts are applied automatically at checkout.

For the largest savings, enroll in a course bundle. These programs are discounted packages of two or more summer courses.

There is no required homework for NextGen classes. However, the instructor may provide optional assignments that can be done for practice outside of class.

For classes with a lunch break, students are welcome to bring or buy lunch. Parents can submit a lunch waiver to give their child permission to go off-campus for lunch. The facility has a common area where students can eat.

Since this is a day program, we do not have dorms or student lodging available.
