The posting

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:

  1. 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)
  2. Teaching sample review — we watch your sample and review your background
  3. Behavioral assessment — a short written questionnaire, about 15 minutes
  4. 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.
  5. 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

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
