The Cybersecurity Accelerator is an intensive training program designed to prepare students for entry-level cybersecurity roles. Students start by learning networking fundamentals and core security concepts before moving into hands-on labs and real-world scenarios. Throughout the program, students receive mentorship from experienced cybersecurity professionals and career guidance to help prepare for their first role in the industry.

The Full Stack Network Engineering program focuses on building practical networking skills through hands-on training. Students work on real-world projects, prepare for certifications such as Cisco CCNA and demonstrate their skills through a live technical qualification assessment. After completing the program, graduates work with the NGT career services team to pursue networking roles.

Both programs are available in full-time and part-time formats, allowing students to choose a schedule that fits their availability.

In the United States, cybersecurity professionals earn a median salary between $124,000 and $133,000 per year, with top earners exceeding $186,000. Your exact pay depends on your role, location, and seniority, with entry-level positions typically starting around $80,000 (ZipRecruiter).

Salaries vary depending on experience and location. The average salary for a network engineer is $114,321 per year in the United States (Indeed).

No. AI is not replacing IT infrastructure jobs. It is creating more of them. Here's what's actually happening: Someone has to build, maintain, and secure the networks that AI runs on. That's network engineers and cybersecurity professionals.

If anything, AI is increasing demand for these roles. Plus, AI creates new security threats. More AI means more attack vectors, which means companies need more cybersecurity professionals, not fewer. Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing fields specifically because of AI and increased digital threats.

Think about it: Has automation eliminated plumbing jobs? No. Has GPS eliminated truck driving? No. Technology shifts roles, but infrastructure jobs don't disappear.

The people who get replaced by AI are the ones who refuse to learn and adapt. The people who thrive are the ones who embrace technology and stay relevant, which is exactly what this program helps you do.

NGT accepts students on a rolling basis, so you can start at any time.

No. Our programs are built for complete beginners. Most of our students come from non-technical backgrounds like retail, warehouse, logistics, and food service. If you can use a computer and are willing to put in 10-20 hours per week, you can do this. Your work ethic and commitment matter far more than your previous background.

Study time depends on your schedule:
• Part-time: about 10-20 hours per week
• Full-time: about 30-40 hours per week

The programs are designed to be intensive and focused on helping students build real technical skills.

NGT programs are delivered online.

NGT welcomes applicants from many different backgrounds.

Successful students are typically:
• Motivated and disciplined
• Comfortable using computers
• Willing to dedicate time to learning new technical skills

Experience in IT, military service or a technical background can be helpful but is not required.

Certifications are important, but certs alone won't get you a job in the IT industry. Companies care more about hands-on, practical skills and if you can actually do the job. That's why in our program, we combine certification prep with hands-on experience in real network environments, so you can actually put real world experience on your resume and qualify for better jobs.
