US Military Civilian Technology Training


Veterans, Transitioning Military, & Spouses Eligible For GI Bill:  Would you be interested in learning more about exciting careers in Networking (Cisco) or Systems (Microsoft) Engineering?  VA approved Network Technology Academy Institute; Inc. (NTAi) may be what you’re looking for.


Learn about becoming a certified CCNA, CCNP, MCSA, or MCSE engineer
Learn about becoming a certified VMware, EMC, or Citrix Cloud Services/Virtualization engineer
Learn about the high demand for Certified Ethical Hackers or “NSA-level” Palo Alto Networks security management engineers

NTAi can prepare you to gain certifications, and compete, for these high paying jobs which employers seek to fill right now!

The program we recommend and offer to all veterans under the GI Bill is called the ‘Network Administration Advanced’ program which has been designed to give students the hands on experience and expertise that employers are looking for in today’s market place.

Network Administration Advanced is a 12-Month Program, 4 Quarters per year.

Many unemployed individuals have been searching to get a job for over six months, and some have stopped searching all together. The unemployment rate – when it includes the under-employed and those who have stopped looking for jobs – is in the double-digit.  Of those people in need of work, 75% are US Veterans!

If you are a veteran with three years of certified honorable service, your GI Bill benefit will pay nearly 100% of NTAI tuition,. You will also receive a housing allowance while in training, a book allowance, and a certification test allowance.

If unemployed, you may also receive unemployment income while in training (with supplemental section 30 benefits a possibility – call for an explanation.)
Check out this link for the Network Administration Advanced, 12 Month Program:


Please call John Wilson (Veteran) at 617-869-1850 and mention Art Garroway said to call!

Jobs you can land after completing the “Advanced” program are:

Help Desk – $45 -$55K
Computer Support Specialist and Network Technician – $45 – $60K
Network Administrator – Salary $50 – 70K per year
