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.
Career services (Kim - our career coach) and our main instructor Shirl were both extremely phenomenal to us as students. They both genuinely care about their jobs and their students. Kim made time for students during hours I've never seen a career coach offer services. Shirl gave us learning material that he didn't have to. He stayed late in class some days and even attended a few classes during non class days to help us catch up. He never made us feel silly for any questions asked. There was an instructor, the main cyber instructor, who left our cohort very early on. We students were never given an explanation or heads up. This left class in a chaotic mess most days. We had a pen tester instructor who done his best I'm sure, but he's not really a direct instructor to students when it comes to power point so I didn't gain much from him because I had no experience in pen testing so it was quite hard to follow until the very end. There was another instructor who came in shortly after the main cyber instructor left. He had no idea where we were in class, what material we had learned, what our currently skill level was as a class, and didn't really know what he should've been teaching most days. Probably wasn't all his fault when he was thrown into it and not given much because I believe behind the scenes there's a HUGE lack of communication with the instructors. But I didn't gain much from his teachings either. Most days I was active on Project Ares or TryHackMe while he was instructing. I learned so much more from both of those. At the very end while we were going through death by power point for the security+ exam, the program should've had an actually sec+ instructor. Poor Shirl done the absolute best that he could, so grateful for him. However, we would (and future students will) benefit from an instructor whose primary mission is sec+ course material and teachings. If I had not studied my head off for numerous hours every day, attended private study sessions with some fellow students, and used the review guide Henry provides to us, I probably wouldn't have passed the sec+. It's far from an easy exam. The program needs to take its difficulty much more serious than they do. Overall, we are overpaying by a lot for this program. We got a small USB thing in a packet at the beginning and I'm pretty irritated having to pay for that when we never got instructions on how to use it. Yes I get that one of the instructors made a video presentation, but there could've been live instruction too. WE ARE PAYING FOR IT!!! I don't necessary regret the program because it has given me some skills I will use in the near future, but I don't appreciate they promote it as "upon graduation we will get you into a high paying cyber role". All of that is fake! Only way for that to happen is if one has previous experience. I'm paying for career services and our instructor Shirl's amazingness as a teacher. That's what I will say is worth the total of the program upon completion. They are the two who deserve a 10 star review!
Thank you NGT for creating the opportunity for me to get a much better paying job with the potential for growth.
Dioni and the entire NexGenT team have been so helpful to me in getting the answers to my questions and help with my account. I really appreciate their attention to detail, as well as how cordial and polite they are to me.
I was really hoping this would be what was promised. Unfortunately, it was run by people who know cybersecurity but not education. The curriculum was so-so, there was a good teacher for a section, but I felt like it was just about a money grab. I only got responses from the recruiters. Waste of money and time! I only gave it 3 stars because Shirl was a gem.
It was an unique experience along with great instructors and mentors. They want to make sure you get to where you want to be in exchange for your effort.
They are willing to work with you even when times become hard. They want you to get to the next level.
SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE BEST - BAR NONE. HANDS DOWN THESE PEOPLE ARE CONSUMATE PROFESSIONALS AND EXEMPLARY HUMAN BEINGS!
Constant changing dates where a major concern
I joined Nexgent Bootcamp in April 2021. Everybody perspective is different while joining the organization.I was looking for stepping in to IT. I tried my best but never successful. I was watching movie on YouTube and Nexgent add pop up. I always skip such adds because it's hard to trust anyone. One day I thought lets try. I fill application for Full Stack Network Engineer course. I already have my CCNA and CCNP before joining this boot camp. This program gives me lot of knowledge and practice on most of the things that Network engineer do in the real time. I would like to give five stars to the career team. They helped me in making my resume, cover letter, linkedIn, and portfolio. I did everything as taught by Kim Wood. I finally land a job as a NOC Technicain without any prior experience in IT. I love my job. Tight schedule. I would like to thank you Nexgent team for helping me to achieve my goals. I hope Nexgent also starts training program for CCNP and CCIE certs. Thank you Nexgent for Making me zero to hero. It’s time to level UP.
Had a great time learning during this six months. It felt like two, honestly. I will say I wish we had done the CCNA block last, rather than in the middle. But, I also feel there needs to be something in-between the FSNA and FSNP, as the knowledge gained from the CCNA block was crucial in learning more.
Great experience, great teachers, information included in the course is updated. If you have a question, you will get an answer. #LevelUP
It was great! Thanks
Seamless Transaction.
They will do all their best to help you achieve your goals
Everyone is super helpful and friendly when pursuing whatever education path you choose. They make sure you know what you have to do and what to expect every step of the way.
NGT is absolutely amazing ! Getting trained by some of the most accomplished Engineers in the industry was such a great experience. They were all patient, kind, and always willing to help. I would definitely definitely recommend the NGT Academy for anyone looking to level up in the it field.
NexGenT is a great learning platform. I’ve dealt with many personal struggles while going through the platform and the staff was extremely supportive and helpful. They gave me more than just educational resources which is priceless. If you follow the program down to the script you can succeed. And if like me you find yourself fallen behind no need to worry, they hold you accountable and help you continue forward. This has definitely been an incredible learning experience for me all around.
NexGent have a really good support team and plan layout for the students. I really appreciate for everything that NexGent do to help the students to achieve a high level of understanding networking.
NextGenT is growing. issues happen; the team at NGT knows what they are doing and will solve any problem promptly. ty NGT for the responsive support.
There are thousands of content in the web these days. What I found great about NexgenT is the content are simplified and placed in a manner that is understandable. The instructors are great and the assistance is outstanding.
