Newto Training Reviews 681

I just want to say a huge thank you to Kennedy for being such an amazing teacher. He’s honestly one of the nicest and most helpful teachers I’ve had. He always takes the time to explain things properly and makes sure everyone understands, no matter how many questions we ask. His lessons were clear, engaging, and really motivating. Because of his support. I’m really grateful for all the effort and patience he put into helping us learn.

Great training programme. The live lessons were excellent. Kennedy and Baula were thorough, took their time, and were very helpful. Unlike other course providers that only offer video-based learning (which you can often find online for free), everything here is live-taught and interactive. They also use the official CompTIA material and live labs, which make a world of difference for learning and hands-on practice.

The job guarantee really delivered. Before, I applied to jobs on my own and never got a single interview. With their support, I’ve had three interviews so far and even reached the final stage for a higher-paying role (around £55k), but I fumbled it at the end due to a few silly mistakes. The recruitment team’s support has been excellent, and I’m confident I’ll secure a job soon thanks to their help.

After completing the Python Bootcamp, I feel much more confident in my coding skills and excited to continue learning in the field of Data Analysis. Python is such a powerful and fascinating language, and the way Newto Training structured the course made it easy to follow and enjoyable to learn. A huge thank you to Alaa Mostafa for your patience, clear explanations, and constant support throughout the journey. You’ve truly made the learning experience both inspiring and rewarding!

The Python BootCamp for September 2025 was a great experience for me. As someone who has had to learn everything by himself all along, it was really great for me to sit on my chair and have someone teach and guide me on what to do. The Trainer Alaa, was very supportive and left nothing out. He provided enough resources for us and the course content was well packed. The pace was OK for me considering we had a number of people with no prior knowledge. Alaa was very clear and engaging. I feel equipped with more knowledge overall and I'm pleased with the experience.

The course is rich in content and offers a lot of real-life scenarios. The pace was also ok and allowed one to learn as much as possible whilst also not overwhelming. I will give the trainer a solid 9/10 for his methods, patience and delivery.

Hands-on Forescout technology training that translates straight to production.
newto delivered one of the most practical Technical courses I’ve attended. The instructors (Baula) didn’t just demo features—he walked us through building a production-ready Discover (Detect → Classify) → Access (Authorize → Compliance) and Govern to remediation to Enforcing policy stack and showed how to troubleshoot it end-to-end including forescout kernel use of CLI like fstools and several linux commands.

Great customer support and service.

I really recommend this course. The tutors were very good and broke down lessons objective very effectively with great communication skills.

I recently completed the cyber course with newto. The tutors were very knowledgable and the team took time to help and even arranged extra 1 to 1 calls. It took me 8 months to complete and I've got into a job but had to do 3 interviews.

The projects helped me understand what I was learning and overall I'm pleased I took this chance.

The trainer took time to answer question and the lessons are more practical

Kennedy Maraka is best and kind tutor I have ever had, always giving feedback and open to help all day everyday even in the weekends. gives detailed explanation and very thorough which helps the students a lot. Would always recommend to study with him. Thank you so much for helping with my studies.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the IT training I received! The instructors were knowledgeable, engaging, and made complex concepts easy to understand. The hands-on labs and real-world examples were invaluable in helping me grasp the material. The training was well-structured, and the support team was responsive to my needs. I feel confident applying the skills I've learned to my job. Highly recommend this training to anyone looking to upskill in IT!"

I've had a great experience so far. The lecturers are very knowledgeable and explanative.

I've just finished off the Network Plus class with Kennedy and I'm feeling ready to take on the courses still to come!!

I am really enjoying my journey with Newto Training. The teachers are very helpful and informative. Making my study very motivated . Thank you

My Experience with the course so far has been amazing and the tutors have been great. Although some of the lectures could be broken up into multiple videos, the tutors are very clear with their subjects.

I am very new to most things IT related. I find this course very informative and helpful. Both the live classes and videos are amazing. Kennedy, my current live classes teacher, is absolutely amazing. He goes over everything slowly enough and always checks that we follow what he says. He definitely stands out and has a natural gift to teach. Thank you all very much for the experience so far. Martyna x

Kennedy has been a great teacher, he made the class very engaging and was very helpful with explaining concepts

NO JOB GUARANTEE – Misleading Promise

I enrolled with Newto Training mainly because of the job guarantee they advertise. However, months after completing all my exams, I haven’t received a single interview opportunity, let alone a job offer. When I reached out to the support team, I was simply redirected to the recruitment team with no real help provided.

I’ve met all the requirements, successfully passing all three exams and completing the projects on time but still met with disappointment.

If your main goal is just to learn cybersecurity skills, there are far more affordable options online that provide self-paced learning and bootcamps before exams.

I’m sharing this review because I wish I had seen feedback from someone who actually finished the course. The “career support” and CV help are minimal at best, and I’ll now be requesting a refund under their money-back guarantee. I’ll also update here on how that process goes.

Be cautious about relying on the five-star reviews, looks like many are written by students at the very start or midway through their course, often given vouchers in exchange for leaving a review.

It all started with a call from Richard, where I asked whether this course was going to help me become a "hacker" to which he said yes, but honest short answer is NO.

The school will give you some American videos to study, there are some boot camps, which do help indeed, but your main study is alone, watching videos.

The job guaranteed is the biggest lie in here, they will make you study nonsensical things, such as A+ or Network+, which are good if you want to get those certifications, but here you get nothing! So, those courses are just there to make you waste your time and money, but you have to complete them before they "attempt to get you a job", so I finished all those courses, when it came the time for the job search, Samantha (hrs manager or something like that) grabbed my CV, completely destroyed it, put the Newto* logo, and asked me to use that CV instead the one I did, so basically free advertisement to their school on the students' expense. 2 months applying for jobs on my own, in the meantime I was meant to get "job offers from their partners and connections" but I received nothing (meanwhile they get my CV with their logo going to every company possible - free advertisement, and no real support for a job).

They only care about money, not the students, read that again because the difference is important, if they cared about the students, they will help you succeed, but they only remember you to ask you for a review in the exchange of a voucher (which is highly unethical), or when you have to pay, but they will not help you understand cybersecurity really; the videos and boot camps is all they'll do for you, I study other courses online, and trust me, other schools are much better, where you get hands on experience through labs and very well crafted scenarios, nothing like newto, where you only watch videos and ocassionally can make a question in the boot camps.

They will not get you a job, and they will use any rubbish excuse to not do that or to not pay you back your course fees. Stay away from this school, it is a huge waste of money and time, there are cheaper and better options, and besides, CompTIA qualifications are recognised but are known to be basic, so many businesses do not really care if you have CompTIA certificates or not, they tend to look for more serious ones, even cisco ranks better for employees. CCNA, SOC 1, etc.

Update: They say that I am 60% of the course, but the only thing left to do is the Pentest+, which we do not get anything of value more than a certificate of completion, which no employee wants at all.
You do not get money once the students get a job, but you still get the "free advertisement", which occurs when students send the CV you modify for them. And by the way, which changes did you make on my CV apart of putting your logo in it?
You tell the students that once they complete the Certificate for the Security+ they will have access to offer to which their profile matches; that was said to me over 4 months ago, and I have got 0 offers from you, or your partners.
Why would your SIEM project be of any value when we can get a free certification from the SIEM provider itself?

I would not recommend this school to anybody, simple. And agin, I AM ENROLLED IN OTHER ONLINE SCHOOL AND THIS ONE IS THE WORST ONE.

Kennedy is a good tutor he gave us all the time to ask questions and he was always patient with us . He was always quick to give feed back in case i wanted any help .I kept asking for help until i passed my exam so well .Am very happy and i want to say thank you Kennedy and Newto family.
