3 quick questions to point you in the right direction. Know your benefit chapter before your strategy call — we can't give you guidance without it.
Your Chapter 33 should comfortably cover the program with significant benefit retained for later. Book your strategy call with a career advisor on our calendar.
This snapshot is self-reported and an estimate only, not a guarantee of benefit entitlement.
The trap. Chapter 33 gives you 36 months of education benefit. Spend it on a 4-year degree and you burn the whole thing for a piece of paper, then walk into a crowded job market with nothing left in the tank.
The smarter path. Spend 6 months on focused IT training and you walk out with the certifications employers actually screen for, step into network engineering or cybersecurity roles, and keep 30 months of Chapter 33 for whatever comes next.
Hands-on training, real-world projects, the certs hiring managers screen for, and career support that doesn't end at graduation — flexible, online, and built around your Chapter 33 benefit.

I spent 6 years in the U.S. Air Force as a Network Control Systems engineer — the kind of work that earns you a TS/SCI clearance and teaches you how enterprise networks actually run. After separating, I stacked the Cisco certifications hiring managers screen for, moved into senior network engineering roles, and eventually worked directly with Cisco and Arista Networks.
Along the way I watched veteran after veteran burn their entire military education benefit on degrees that never translated into a paycheck — when the real path was much shorter than anyone told them. So I built NGT.
Partnering with International American University (IAU) has allowed us to help veterans use their benefits to enroll in our comprehensive programs.

"Best use of my GI Bill® I ever made. I've been attending for the last 3 months and I absolutely love the pacing and instruction. I went to an Army SASMO course that covers a lot of basic networking and I was over-prepared — blew away my Army instructors and peers, all because I started this course a few months ago."
"Thanks to NGT Academy, I'm working a job as a network engineer that allows me to spend more time with my family while getting to travel a lot and grow in IT."
"The group coaching makes all the difference, and really helps you to understand things by asking questions and getting fast responses from subject matter experts — and it's dummy proof."
