Company details
Written by the company
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 don't think I could have made it if it wasn't self-paced. I learned a lot from this school, and I can't wait to start a new career in IT.

Immersive labs
The lab were immersive and helped me get a feel for the CLI commands. It also helped show me some of the logic behind vlan and some of the different protocols better.

Zero to (almost) Hero
The knowledge, details, explanations and guides/labs were great at teaching someone with no skills and no understanding of how to setup and configure a network. I feel comfortable with the knowledge I have now, but again with more practice and patience that knowledge and comfortability will grow greater

NGT academy has made my experience well by guiding me and pointing me in the right direction more than the colleges have. Both have important information, but NGT has the exact information that is relevant to employers looking for engineers now not 4 years later.

All must understand that this course cost is at least $12500
All must understand that this course cost is at least $12500. People need to understand that this course is very expensive, and the marketing team—often operating from other countries—can be overly aggressive in their approach. Please be careful, do thorough research, and make sure to read the one-star reviews of this company first, before making any decisions.
Within just 15 minutes of my very first conversation, the marketing representative asked me to share my screen, saying he needed to help me “check my email.” In today’s environment of increasing cyber-crime, this type of request is extremely concerning. I declined immediately because there was no valid reason for him to see my screen.

Reply from NGT Academy
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We value the time you spent speaking with our team, and we take your experience and concerns. especially those related to safety and communication, very seriously.
- On Course Cost and Transparency
We confirm that the investment for our program is substantial, and we aim for complete transparency regarding the cost throughout the admissions process. We regret that our initial marketing approach led you to feel the expense was not made clear, and we continuously work to ensure this is communicated effectively and respectfully.
- On the Interaction and Our Team
We appreciate the insight you provided regarding your 40-minute conversation with our team member.
Role Clarification: You were speaking with an Admissions Officer, whose primary goal is to determine if our rigorous, career-focused program is the right mutual fit.
Website Feedback: Thank you for pointing out the duplicate "Network Security Engineer" listing on our cybersecurity page. We take website accuracy seriously and can confirm that this minor display error has been immediately corrected by our development team.
- On the Screen-Sharing Request and Safety
Your concern about the screen-sharing request is a priority for us. We agree that caution is paramount, and we commend you for being vigilant about your personal data.
Context of Request: We understand you felt comfortable sharing your screen earlier in the conversation to highlight a website issue. The subsequent request for screen-sharing came when the Admissions Officer was attempting to help you locate and activate the free introductory course activation email after multiple delivery issues.
Our Policy: While the intent was to provide immediate technical support for a free resource, we absolutely respect the boundary when it comes to personal inboxes. We recognize that asking a student to share their screen to access personal email is outside of our standard best practice. We are using this feedback to review and reinforce our training to ensure all technical assistance is offered in a way that prioritizes prospective students' comfort and privacy above all else.
Ultimately, our Admissions Officer concluded that, due to the lack of cooperation in resolving technical and administrative issues necessary to start the program, we were not the right fit to meet your educational needs. We stand by the decision to ensure a positive experience for all our students.
We wish you the very best in your search for the right cybersecurity training program.
