About Alex Blalock | Voyager Cyber Academy

Why Voyager Cyber Exists

Most Security+ students don't fail because they aren't smart enough. They fail because humans often learn best from each other, in a structured way. Lacking both of these elements, self-paced courses leave students stuck, confused, and without anyone to turn to. While self-teaching is an effective learning method for some, for many, it is a path to confusion and disappointment.

Voyager Cyber's 35-hour live bootcamp gives you a structured path, a real instructor, and accountability that self-study can't provide. Whether you're entering cybersecurity for the first time or pivoting from another IT role, our learning method gets you exam-ready without the grinding inherent to exclusive self-study.

Over 70,000 job openings request Security+ certified professional, and Information Security Analysts earn a median salary of $124,910/year. Security+ is a respected certification that opens doors. At Voyager Cyber, we help you earn it.

Veteran-owned small business. Voyager Cyber is founded by a former U.S. Army Cyber Warfare Officer and NSA analyst, bringing government-level expertise to professional cybersecurity training.
