What You'll Learn
12 Modules. 65 Lessons. Real Skills.
Every module was developed by pioneers in the VA industry alongside behavioral specialists, university professors, and Ph.D. professionals. Each one pairs video lessons with hands-on activities and templates you'll keep using long after you finish.
Introduction
Get grounded before you get busy. You'll map out what a VA actually does, weigh the different ways to work (freelance, agency, part-time, full-time), and set up the work-life balance you're building this career for.
Business Fundamentals
Understand how businesses run so you can support one intelligently. Covers business basics, the entrepreneurial mindset, and how to find and land your first VA position.
Calendar Management
Learn to own an executive's calendar with confidence: scheduling, prioritizing, protecting focus time, and handling the conflicts that come up every week.
Inbox Management
Turn a chaotic inbox into a system. You'll practice organizing, triaging, and responding on someone else's behalf with a real inbox scenario.
Event Planning
Support the moments that matter for your clients: speaking engagements, keynotes, workshops, and book launches, from planning through follow-up.
Panels & Webinars
Run virtual events end to end: planning, execution, and follow-up for webinars, plus how AI tools can lighten the load.
Content Creation
Create and manage content clients can use: sourcing, copyright basics, visuals and graphics, data entry, live streaming, and project checklists.
Web Design
Learn the practical web skills VAs are asked for most: what makes a website work, how to update one, and how to support a client's site without being a developer.
Marketing
Build and run marketing that moves: social media marketing, account setup, and ready-to-use marketing templates.
Presentations
Design clear, polished presentations and learn how to present to clients so your work lands the way you intend.
Automations
Save your clients hours by setting up automations and campaigns that keep things moving without manual effort.
Customer Service
Become the calm, reliable point of contact. Covers setting expectations, feedback and mirroring, behavioral analysis, customer-service templates, and growing with your clients.
Every module ends with something you can put to work immediately — a template, a checklist, or a completed activity you can show a client on day one.
What's Included
More Than a Course
Video-Led Lessons
Video tutorials, hands-on activities, and downloadable resources you can revisit as you build your practice.
Dozens of Templates
Plug-and-play templates that make your workday easier from day one, so you spend less time building and more time delivering.
Certified & Connected
Earn your certificate, then keep growing with live and on-demand continuing education and a private LinkedIn community of VAs.
