About Network Development Group
25+ years empowering the next generation of IT professionals.
Our Story
Network Development Group (NDG) has been at the forefront of IT training technology since 1999. Founded by network engineers who understood the importance of hands-on practice, we set out with a simple idea — using networked technology to make real-world IT training accessible to all.
We had experienced first-hand how training and technical certifications can lead to rewarding careers — and how greater skills allow people to contribute better to their organizations, their families, and their communities. That belief drives everything we build.
Today, NDG serves organizations worldwide through two flagship products: NETLAB+, a private-cloud lab automation platform for organizations that need real hardware, and NDG Online, a zero-infrastructure browser-based courseware platform.
Core to our approach is a fundamental concept: there is no substitute for hands-on training. We partner with industry leaders like Cisco, Red Hat, Palo Alto Networks, CompTIA, and LPI to create innovative training environments where learners build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Our Mission
To make high-quality, hands-on IT training accessible to every learner, regardless of their organization's size, budget, or technical infrastructure. We believe the best way to learn IT is by doing it — and we've spent over 25 years building the platforms that make that possible.
