Company details

  1. Training School

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.

10/10 Would Recommend

Program started off kind of slow and I didn't feel like I was learning anything, but once I got into the labs everything started to click and make sense. I'm a hands on learner so doing the labs was very important for to start grasping the concepts that I was learning

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We’re sorry to hear that the video content felt like it only grazed the surface. Our goal is always to provide a strong foundation through video lessons, which are meant to be paired directly with our practical labs and hands-on projects to build real-world skills. That said, hearing your perspective helps us identify where we can deepen the instruction and better bridge the gap between theory and practice.

If you are looking to dig deeper into any specific concepts, build out more practical application, or need guidance on any of the hands-on exercises, our training team is here to support you every step of the way:
- Email: support@nexgent.com
- Live Chat: Directly inside the LMS chat function
- Community: Connect with our training team directly on the Community board for discussions, clarification, and additional support.

We truly value your input as we continuously work to improve our curriculum. Thank you again for helping us make the program better!

The information was presented almost in…

The information was presented almost in an accelerated manor. I feel like sometimes the instructor forgot that this is a class for people brand new to the field. I had to look up things multiple times because there was verbiage being used that wasn't previously presented. there was a high level of frustration due to this and the lack of ability for guidance, with this being self paced. i feel as if i couldn't ask questions so if i didn't understand something there wasnt many options outside of turning to google and trying to figure it out myself

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed and honest feedback.

We are sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced. The program is designed to welcome beginners to the field, so hearing that the pacing felt rushed and that terminology was introduced without prior explanation is crucial feedback for us. You shouldn't have to rely on Google to translate concepts that our curriculum should be teaching you step-by-step.

We also hear you on the feeling of isolation that can come with self-paced learning when guidance isn't clear. We want to make sure you, and every student, always know exactly where to turn when a concept doesn't stick:
- Email: support@nexgent.com - Send us any question, big or small, and we will get you the right answer or resource.
- In-LMS Live Chat: Use the chat feature directly inside your learning platform for quick assistance while you're studying.
- Community: Connect with our active training team on the Community platform, where you can ask questions, clarify jargon, and get instructor guidance.

We are taking your notes back to our curriculum and training teams to better pace beginner modules and clarify terminology. Thank you again for helping us improve the experience for future students, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly if there are any specific topics we can help clarify for you right now.

The best NGT Academy experience

What made my experience great was the easy to understand lectures and the reinforcement techniques being used to help you keep it fresh in your mind and master the subject. The company is doing a great job in helping its students master the subject and providing hands on labs to practice real-world scenarios.

NGT Experience

My experience with NGT has been very educational and helpful. All the instructors are available whenever they are needed. The video's instructions were good, and the self-paced style has made it fit into my schedule perfectly.

Great IT School after Transitioning

The FSNA Basic course was a great refresher after transitioning out of the military as a Signal Officer. It isn't easy trying to balance life and school, but I went through all the lessons and took notes. The Cisco Packet Tracer labs are very helpful and it actually felt like a puzzle or game to me. So I enjoy all the lessons and training labs. I imagine that it will become more complex but it sounds fun. I look forward to finishing the course with aspirations to further my IT career as a civilian.

Easy Enrollment Process

The process of signing up and enrolling(using the G.I. bill at least) was super easy and straight-forward. I had put off using the G.I. bill based on the assumption it would be a major pain in the butt, like most things with the military/VA. I wish I had found NGT Academy sooner.
