The Critical Problem in Tech Education
Traditional Education is Failing Tech Careers
Universities teach outdated skills, creating graduates who need extensive on-the-job training before becoming productive.
Theoretical Knowledge ≠ Job Readiness
Most training programs focus on theory rather than the practical skills employers actually need in their teams.
The Experience Catch-22
Employers want experience, but you need a job to get experience. This creates a frustrating barrier for career changers.
According to industry research, 72% of tech hiring managers say traditional degree programs don't adequately prepare graduates for real-world tech jobs.

We've Got You Covered
Addressing your concerns about making a career transition
No, we designed our programs specifically for people transitioning from other fields. We have dedicated pre-work modules that build foundational skills before the main program begins. Many of our most successful graduates started with zero technical background.
37% of our students had zero tech experience before joining NS Cloud Academy.
For career-focused training in cloud and DevOps roles, yes. CS degrees provide excellent theoretical foundations but lack practical skills needed for these specialized roles. Our programs focus specifically on the skills employers are looking for right now, not general computer science theory.
In a survey of 200 hiring managers, 81% said they'd prefer our graduates over candidates with just a CS degree but no practical experience.
If you don't get hired within 90 days of graduation, we'll refund 100% of your tuition. To qualify, you must complete all coursework, career prep activities, and actively apply to jobs with our career services team. We can offer this guarantee because our placement rate is consistently above 90%.
We've issued only 23 refunds out of over 2,400 graduates in our entire history.
Our full-time programs require 20-25 hours per week. Part-time options require 10-15 hours per week but extend the program duration. Most students successfully complete our programs while working full-time jobs by studying evenings and weekends.
We offer several payment options:
- Upfront Payment: Pay in full and receive a 10% extra discount on fee
- Monthly Payments: Spread payments over months with no interest
Yes, because our training is hyper-focused on practical skills that employers need right now. We don't waste time on outdated technologies or purely theoretical concepts. Every hour you spend in our program builds directly toward job-ready skills.
