Job Description

NGT Academy is a veteran-founded, Y Combinator-backed IT career training company on a mission to place one million people into tech careers by 2030. We're hiring a part-time CCNA Instructor to lead live instruction for our networking students and keep our CCNA track sharp as Cisco's certification evolves.

What you'll do

Host one live 60-minute study hall session per week for CCNA students: concept walkthroughs, practice questions, and live Q&A
Monitor Cisco's CCNA 200-301 blueprint and keep course content current as the exam evolves
Respond to student questions asynchronously, with backup from our training team
Submit a brief monthly summary of sessions held and content updates made

A major rebuild of our CCNA course is coming ahead of the 2027 Cisco exam changes. We're scoping it now, and this hire is first in line to lead it as a separately compensated project.

Our hiring process

We keep it short and transparent. Every candidate goes through the same five steps:

Apply with your resume and a 3–5 minute teaching sample: a Loom video, or an existing recording of you teaching or training (details in the application form)
Teaching sample review — we watch your sample and review your background
Behavioral assessment — a short written questionnaire, about 15 minutes
Live technical assessment — a spoken conversation with Zach Elliott, our Director of Academic Excellence, covering CCNA-level knowledge at the depth you'd teach it. No written test, no lab, no trick questions. If you hold a current Cisco certification and teach this material, this is a conversation about things you already know.
Final interview with our CEO

Plan for the process to take about two weeks end to end. The technical assessment is a required step for every candidate, regardless of certifications or experience — it's how we keep the bar consistent for the students who count on us.

Who thrives here

Our students are adult career-changers, many of them veterans: motivated, beginner-to-intermediate, and hungry for instructors who can make subnetting actually make sense. If you've ever been the person everyone messages before the exam, this role is built for you.

Requirements

Active Cisco certification at CCNA level or above — a current CCNP or CCIE more than covers it. CCNP holders, especially Data Center track, move to the front of the line.

Minimum 2 years hands-on networking experience: enterprise, ISP, or military/DoD network environments

Minimum 1 year teaching, training, or mentoring adults. Formal instruction, corporate training, or a structured military instructor role all qualify

Strong on-camera presence and reliable weekly availability for a consistent live session

A 3–5 minute teaching sample submitted with your application: an existing recording of you teaching or training, or a Loom video explaining one CCNA concept as if teaching someone brand new to networking. Applications without a sample will not be reviewed.

Benefits

$1,000–$1,500/month retainer as a 1099 contractor, roughly 10 hours per month
90-day initial term, renewed based on performance
First in line to lead the 2027 CCNA course rebuild — scoped and paid separately as a project
Fully remote, with a consistent weekly schedule you help set
Teach motivated adult career-changers, many of them veterans, at a mission-driven academy
