If there’s someone who can explain anything, Koami is the one. He teaches you not just how to do something, but why to do it this way and not the other.
His beginner course is a must see for any aspiring IT professional who want to learn from the best.
Best school if you are interesting in getting into the IT field! especially in Networking. I am currently taking CCNA course here and it’s amazing the amount of contents, labs and instructions we get. Koami, the instructor has years of extensive experience in the field and brings that in the class.
A Graduated Student from NTI said:
“My experience learning and graduating from Network Training Institute has been life changing. The quality of training and the amount of support and that I received was exemplary. My instructor was available to help by phone, email and remote desktop up until 12 AM (Midnight) seven days a week. That made a huge difference for me personally being a single mother I would often work on assignments later in the evenings. I am thankful for NTI because I am confident in my knowledge and abilities. I didn’t receive this type of support from Saint Paul College where I had attempted to get my IT Essentials (CompTIA A+) prior to finding NTI. Now I have the skills that I need, and I am on a career path that I am well prepared for and that I enjoy. Thank you NTI.”
I am currently working as an IT Field Support Technician at IBM’s. IT Computer Support and Repair is something I wanted to do for a long time but didn’t understand how I could enter this field until I came across Network Training Institute (NTI). It was here at NTI where I learned all about Computers and Basic Networking principles; specifically, taking apart and building computers, installing the operating systems and application software, trouble-shooting computers, printers and networks, and much more . . .” “One thing I love about NTI is Koami’s experience in the field and professional approach as a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) and dedication as a teacher. As the founder and Executive Director of the only “independently organized” Authorized Cisco Networking Academy in Minnesota, if not the whole world, Koami’s Institute is able to provide all the necessary software and hardware tools necessary for a student to qualify as a Tier 1 IT Technician”. “However, the only thing I didn’t like about his program is that at the end of it he did not buy pizza for all of us. Besides that, I give a big bravo to Koami and his assistants.
