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.

NGT FSNA Review

In short, This is a very well-designed course that provides clear, structured, and easy-to-follow material. The staff and support team are knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. The community is also a major strength, creating a supportive environment where everyone can learn, share experiences, and grow together. Overall, it’s an excellent learning experience with great resources, people, and support.

Fundamentals are exhaustive

Very fun and interactive with so, so, so much information in networking. Although there could be more up-to-date information, but fundamentally its very informative.

Great Place to Learn

Having a blast, I retired from the service 2 years ago with an HR background, applied for around 50 jobs and I wasn't getting enough feedback, just passovers. So knew, somehow, computers are the future. HR was great, but nowhere near as interesting as becoming a Networking Engineer, I've tested through the FSNA already, awaiting lab testing results (confidence with fingers crossed). I would recommend this school for anyone that needs instructors that stay upbeat and knows their stuff.

Skeptical at first, Mind changed

At first, I was quite skeptical about taking the course. Being in my 50s, I worried it might feel like the typical college courses. However, the training is designed to keep you engaged throughout, and I’m truly glad I decided to give it a try.

Awesome! Just needed more time to digest everything I learned. I think it was too much but got thru it.

Overall Fine, barring the occasional pacing issues

The pacing of the videos where a bit jarring at times. Before learning about the different layers of the OSI Model, it was referenced multiple times as if it was already discussed ad nauseam. Furthermore, at points, I felt very confused as to why exactly we were doing things a certain way, though further experimentation and research into the labs helped my understanding. Overall, the majority of the videos were fine and informative.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that overall the videos were informative and that your own research and experimentation ultimately helped clarify the labs.

We appreciate you pointing out your pacing challenges, particularly regarding how concepts like the OSI model were referenced before being fully covered. Since we were unable to locate an email address associated with your account to follow up directly, could you please send us an email at support@nexgent.com? We'd love to ask you a few quick questions about the specific modules or videos where this happened so we can smooth out the learning progression for you and other students.

Thank you again for helping us improve our curriculum!

Great course and material

Great course and material, easy to follow along in most lessons. Jacob Hess, the main instructor, does a good job of explaining most subjects, but is a little fast at explaining the lab configurations.

Learning with help! Try it

Well, it is definitely an experience, but I got through this first course. The detail and demonstration to the labs and resources is what helps the most. Ive very excited to move further!
