About NGT Academy

NexGenT (DBA NGT Academy) was founded by two Air Force veterans who have trained thousands of engineers for the military. They have combined the military-style training philosophy of job readiness with decades of network engineering and cyber security experience working at Cisco Systems, Arista Networks, and Dimension Data into an immersive program to get people into cyber security or networking careers faster and more effectively than ever! NGT Academy is on a mission to help 1 million people get tech jobs by 2030. There will be 3 million unfilled cyber security jobs in the market by 2021. We want to close that skills gap by providing people an affordable education that gets them job-ready for a career in cyber security. NGT Academy believes that students shouldn’t be left with outrageous debt from degrees that don’t teach the required skills to succeed in the workplace. We believe we have the best program to equip anyone to be cyber security specialists in the fastest way possible. We believe in having a strong foundation in network architecture before students go into our cyber security training. Once the student masters the fundamentals in networking, they are better prepared to step into our cyber security training program along with real-world projects.

I'm only through the first two modules and I'm sure my opinion is likely to change as I learn. As an outsider to the tech field, newly being exposed to this field, I'm happy to say that I don't feel completely lost as I go through the coursework. Everything is laid out in a clear and concise manner. Its easy to navigate, and there is just enough accountability baked into the system to be encouraging without feeling like you have a nagging parent staring over your shoulder. If I were to critique, I would say I would appreciate more requirements for interaction with the basic level stuff. I'm sure later on a student will need to have alot of this basic information memorized. While traditional study methods can help this, there are alot of memory games or workbook type activities that can assist. I would also say that there are several points where the instructor uses industry jargon that the new student does not understand very well. While such a student will get the jist, the information could be clearer. I'm sure having alot of experience in the field makes it easy for an instructor to forget at times to spell things out so clearly. A better preview of what a student may be doing upon graduation would be nice as well. All that being said, the program is legitimately teaching skills that can be sequentially learned in a field that a simple GOOGLE search can demonstrate is chock full of people who lack communication skills and overcomplicate what can already be highly technical at times on its own. If you tried to learn this on your own you could quickly become "lost at sea" in all the information/ideas. And if you tried to learn this from an instructor that isn't actually experienced working in the CURRENT field [I'm looking at you, 4 year universities...], you may very well end up in a similar place- it will just take longer and be more expensive.

I was expecting what I heard in a lesson that i would get some routers or switches. I got some tools for wiring cat 6 with some wire, a t shirt, and some stickers. All in all im set for a job. Im just disappointed about not getting a kickstart on my lab. The social aspect of the academy needs something. I think its a good response from the staff but no interaction and sense of community from the other students. It needs to be easier to navigate. More 1-1 tutoring with staff would be nice.

The people at NGT Academy are on a positive mission. I feel they are genuine and truly want to help to change the lives of their students. I'll start with the good: the LMS is pretty decently organized and makes for a game like experience. I enjoyed the milestones and minor successes along the way. The content is very rich on the network side and I was happy with the foundation knowledge provided. The attempt at fully rounding out the experience like a university with career services classes was a nice feature. I have a positive feeling about the people who work(ed) there and the knowledge they have. The bad: the security program didn't feel fleshed out. The ISA is great for some, but for myself who paid in full, felt like I didn't quite get the value for how much it cost. However, they did provide a bunch of additional courses for free which eased that point of frustration. The course had a lot of on-the-fly changes, and ultimately went beyond the timeline they promised. This negatively affected my timeline for seeking employment. Additionally, due to the extended timeline, the program's LMS features ceased to function leaving a few stones unturned. I put a lot of time into my projects and didn't receive any feedback. I know I did well on them, but it would have been nice to know more details and thoughts from the instructors. Finally, it felt as though NGT Academy doesn't have the ability to place students in entry level jobs like they believe they can. The cybersecurity industry in general has a problem with entry level jobs not truly being "entry level", but many/most students believed they'd be in high demand after completing the course. It simply isn't the case, and isn't the fault of NGT Academy, but they should set expectations accordingly. The last thing I'll say is, I hope NGT Academy figures it out--irons out the kinks--and helps the IT industry fill positions with well trained professionals.

They gave me the advice and experience I needed to succeed in obtaining my first Cybersecurity position with no upfront costs for their services.

The Cybersecurity program is top-notch, the best of its kind. NexGent takes many students, many with no technical experience, from zero to passing the Security + exam. NextGent is so good at what it does that payment plans are contingent upon its ability to lead students to success. They care more about the success of their students than profit right of the bat. The programs are life-changing, concise and to the point. The instructors are also fully invested in the success of the students. Joining the Cybersecurity program at NextGent was a good decision for me.

Chrystel is a great career coach. She did great in highlighting the areas I need to work on. I feel so confident and ready for the next step.

The program was great. There are just a couple of things with consistency. If all the instructors knew each other's milestones and recommended more hack the box and other resources for working on towards the end of the program it would help make the program stronger!

Very Informative on learning lessons, it demonstrates how the network operates in daily job career. It helps me refresh my memory from my previous college and better understand the network foundation.

The teachings and lessons are great but the community is not that engaging and when looking to connect with other fellow alumni or mentors it’s kind of difficult and sometimes feel like your on your own

Keith Antonio, Jacob Hess and Terry Kim have been amazing. They all have helped me get through the process of signing with NGT Academy. I am fortunate to have come across this Academy when I was doing an extensive research on Network and Cybersecurity Engineering program. I can honestly say that I did pick the right Academy to pursue my degree and certifications and now that I am taking NGT Network Engineer + Cybersecurity Accelerator program, I can say that this is exactly the program I was looking for. So far, It has been a great journey. I would highly recommend NGT Academy to anyone pursuing a field in IT.

As a recent graduate of NGT Academy's Full Stack Network Engineering program, I can wholeheartedly acknowledge that the training went well above and beyond my expectations. The courses are very organized and accessible in a way that makes understanding complex concepts within technology easy to grasp and inspirational. Every NGT Academy instructor that I worked with was professional and provided us with valuable, substantive career insights and resources that are on-point. A year ago, before I enrolled, I sought to obtain a CCNA and an awesome Network Engineering position. Now, after graduating, I've earned both and (I think more importantly) I'm still eager to continue learning about networking. Thanks NGT Academy!

NGT is awesome! Everyone is very helpful whether you need help understanding something or if you just want extra assurance. The program is very easy to navigate and track your progress also making up for any classes missed you can always fine them uploaded within a day. I definitely recommend NGT.

Really great cyber security program, particularly the NCSP portion with hands-on experience with labs from Hack the Box and an even greater instructor. My class had Adon as our instructor who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about teaching students the ins and outs of cyber security, forensics, and offensive pentesting. If you get Adon as your instructor, you're in for a great learning experience.

NexGenT was the platform that launched my career into IT, coming from nursing background, not knowing what direction I wanted to take, NexGenT Academy's informative and detailed training gave me a comprehensive understanding of how networks work. From the baby steps that I needed to the core in Networks. I will always appreciate NexGent.
