NGT Academy
NGT Academy is an online, immersive, military-grade IT career training academy with courses in cyber security, network engineering, and Cloud/DevOps. NGT Academy was founded by two Air Force veterans with the goal to train other veterans for the cybersecurity job market. NGT Academy’s Zero To Engineer™ training framework takes students from beginner to job-ready within 6 months. The Zero To Engineer™ framework provides immersive, hands-on skills training with real world projects, labs, mentorship, career coaching and providing skills-based certifications to ensure graduates are job-ready. Full-time and part-time programs are available. The part-time track requires a 20-hour per week commitment and caters to the needs of students who are completing the bootcamp while working full-time.
During the network engineering curriculum, students learn about IT architecture and networks using tools such as Cisco IOS Command Line, Cisco Packet Tracer, terminal emulators, packet sniffer, TFTP and FTP server/client, syslog servers and more. During the Cyber Security Advanced Training portion of the program, students will learn how to identify and analyze threats, about the fundamentals of cryptography, network security, secure protocols, and more. The bootcamp provides students with the opportunity to work on multiple labs. Students learn how to build networks that simulate full-scale, real-world networks. Within the cybersecurity training, students participate in 25 virtualized labs to identify and analyze threats to a system. Students explore tools such as Wireshark, metasploit, nmap, VPS, CVSS, CVE, IPSec, and more. Students have access to weekly, scheduled coaching and three mentoring sessions as well as a workbook containing supplemental material, program guides, labs, and homework.
After a simple, online application, applicants can select between cybersecurity and the network engineer track, take a skills assessment test, and complete an interview. Graduates of the NGT Academy Cyber Security program receive the following certifications: NGT Academy Cyber Security Associate (NCSA) and the CompTIA Security+. Graduates of the NGT Academy Full Stack Network Engineer (FSNE) program receive the following certifications: NGT Academy Full Stack Network Associate (FSNA), NGT Academy Full Stack Network Professional (FSNP), and the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).

Jave ParkNetwork Engineer - Level II • Graduate • Network Engineer (Part-Time) • OnlineJan 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceGreat online school - Got me started in IT!
Got my current job because of my training with NexGenT!!
I can't stress enough about how NexGenT's instructors make the course materials so easily understood. I've tried other Network Engineering courses from another online school and I wasn't able to learn.
Jacob Hess is a great instructor! I can't wait to skill up in their new cyber security program!

Pushy sales tactics
Attended a meeting while exploring my options for bootcamp. Initially I liked what I heard but I was still on the fence. As soon as I inquired about the cost (12,500) it was a rush to get me to finance. I expressed that that was quite a bit of money and would need time to come up with the down payment IF I decided to join.Instead I was forwarded to the finance department and POLITELY declined saying I need more time to do research. I was skeptical based of certain reviews I have seen. Ne...Attended a meeting while exploring my options for bootcamp. Initially I liked what I heard but I was still on the fence.

I was skeptical based of certain reviews I have seen. Next thing you know I’m getting bombarded with text messages and insults from one one of the instructors. The pushy sales tactics are just as red flag on their own.
