As a student at NGT-Academy, I am very thankful
by Jean S.

As a student at NGT-Academy, I am very thankful for the great experience I had with their team. From the first day, it was obvious that this program was created with student success in mind. The courses were complete and modern, covering all the important skills needed in today's fast-moving tech field. What really caught my attention was how the teachers made hard ideas easy to understand, breaking them down into small parts without making them too simple. The hands-on approach was really helpful. We didn't just learn theory; we used our knowledge in real-world projects, which gave me the confidence to face real job challenges. The instructors were always there for extra help, often staying late to make sure we understood tough ideas. I was especially impressed by the job support services. The team didn't just teach us technical skills; they also got us ready for the job market. From resume workshops to mock interviews and networking events, they made sure we were set to launch our cariers.

It was a great experience learning
by Nalini

It was a great experience learning about how to make a professional profile on LinkedIn. The program was excellent. Learning Network Engineering was a bit of a challenge, but with the help of the instructor Jecob Hess and mentor, it became possible to learn with enthusiasm and hands-on practice. I passed the exam and got a FSNA certificate. I'm very happy about achieving this milestone and leveling up. I highly recommend it to new or future students. You have a bright future ahead. I received wonderful support from the technical support team and student success team. Great teamwork, great academy. From 0 to Engineer helped me achieve my goals and make my dreams come true. Praise the Lord. Thank you all for the great work you've done. I appreciate it very much. God bless you all.

Started my IT journey in 2019, worked for
by Buzz Hilborn

Started my IT journey in 2019, worked for 5 years and moved from Help Desk to Tier 2. Left my old job to join Nexgent full time in April 2024. Finished the FSNA and soon will finish the NCSA. Definitely the best choice Ive made for my career. The instructors and program have been great in helping me learn and grow. The community, career advisors, and mentors have given me a strong grasp of what I’ve learned in the last 4 months. Study groups and tech instructors have been very useful, helping me grasp tech details in this field. Working with the program has opened doors in networking and cybersecurity that were new to me, giving me confidence to start in cybersecurity. I’m very thankful for this experience and would give more stars if I could. Strongly recommend this program!

by Joshua Ugwuegbu

Enrolling in FSNA turned out to be a delightful surprise during my cybersecurity journey with NGT Academy. While initially focused on cybersecurity, I found the networking course to be incredibly engaging. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also approachable, patiently addressing all queries. The highlight was the hands-on training through various labs, offering a real-world perspective. Overall, NGT Academy exceeded my expectations, providing a comprehensive and interactive learning experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality education in networking and cybersecurity.

I can't express enough how good the NGT Academy team is.
by Stepa

I can't express enough how good the NGT Academy team is. The instructors, career services, and student support always made me feel important when I had doubts or questions. I started without knowing basic things like RAM or a MAC address, but now I've got my CCNA and Sec+ certifications! I feel confident in my skills, and I've already proven them on the job. As a veteran, I can say that, like military training, this team can take you from zero to job ready if you just trust them and follow their plan. Thank you NGT Academy! I really couldn't have done it without you!

It has been a long road from the start.
by Anonymous

It has been a long road from the start. I faced challenges when looking into various places and some subjects. I did my own homework for each piece of new knowledge and to master a new area of study. I had my hard times and good times to share, but that did not stop me from continuing to learn and moving up to a new level. Even though I had some support in my training, I made a significent improvement to notice the change from before to now. It was not easy, believe me. Now, my next step is...to seek a new path and pray for guidance in a new career.

The initial class called FNSA
by Emiliano

The initial class called FNSA ( Full Stack Network Administration) is quite lengthy but very crucial. However, it's not too demanding. You jot down notes and study, but not excessively. You just move through the sections comfortably until the end. It's totally worth it. You'll be far from where you began and feel more sure about your choice to enroll in this course. I'm thankful for the guidance and knowledge NGT gave me. I just finished this first module today, and I'm writing my review after acing my FNSA tests.

Jakob Hess is an awesome teachr!
by Miles

Jakob Hess is an awesome teachr! So easy to understand, but doesn't go too deep too quick, or when he does it's usually right. While I think the other FSNP instructr Rob knows his stuff, his videos are less clear, leaving me wantin' to ask questions, but he's gone now. Just started CCNA prep with Bob and he seems cool. Overall, it's been a good experience and I feel I've learned a lot, though I wish they'd talk more about entry level FSNE jobs. Maybe record interviews with new grads?

Jakob Hess made my experyence a good one.
by Anonymous

Jakob Hess made my experyence a good one. I recently passed the FSNA. To be honest it was this first exam and Lab in a skool or Academy atmosphere I have done in 20+ years. I was nervus but through the instruction of Jakob. I was able to be confident at the same time. All throughout the FSNA I felt like there was nothing to hard for me to learn. I am over 50 years of age and you can teach an old dog new tricks!

I've been here for a week
by Bryce

I've been here for a week, and everything's been going really good. Whenever I asked for help in a class, I got it quickly from either a mentor or another student. The staff have been really great too. David Valdez and Robin Stoehr are the main ones I’ve talked to, and they’ve been super helpful. If you’re thinking about getting into IT or Networking, this is definetly the place to go.

I've had a good experience diving
by Andre

I've had a good experience diving into the IT industry with NexGent. Learning and absorbing new information has been enjoyable, though there are moments when keeping track of everything gets tough. The coaching, study group sessions, and occasional one-on-one interactions have proven helpful. Thanks to NexGent for providing me with this opportunity and collaborating with me.

I really like being able to access
by LD Calle

I really like being able to access the material whenever I need. Jacob Hess is really good at explaining stuff in the videos. It's cool that you can rewatch sections if you didn't get it the first time. Plus, you can talk to instructors and other students, which makes you feel connected. They all know their stuff and want you to do well.

The many calls from Robin to check
by Dorraine

The many calls from Robin to check in were really motivating, especially when I wanted to quit. The training block was made simple enough for anyone to get and follow along. The patience of the entire NexGenT team made the experience rewarding. No one wants to learn in a micromanaged and robotic atmosphere. Thank you, guys, and LEVEL UP!

The study material was really easy to follow and well-organized.
by Davone K

The study material was really easy to follow and well-organized. I can split up my lessons and get practical experience with the labs that go with each topic I've just learned. The teacher tells me just what I need to know and what isn't as important, respecting my time and how I understand things.

This network engineering
by Fitz

This network engineering program seems pretty good overall. I appreciate that it covers a lot of topics. However, there are a couple of areas that could use some work: The videos need updating. The instructors should explain things more simply for beginners.
