Virtual Assistant Training Programs – Which One Should I Choose?

What a great question!

When I was researching how to become a Virtual Assistant, I reviewed ALL of the training programs available. ALL of them. I only wanted to work with the best, I wanted to be taught everything I needed to know and nothing I didn’t. I wanted access to the support of highly successful VA’s. As I read, made phone calls, interviewed graduates and read some more, no program offered more than the AssistU VTP (Virtual Training Program).

AssistU was founded by Stacy Brice, the recognized leader and Founder of the Virtual Assistance industry. (It makes sense to learn from the lady who started it all … doesn’t it!). I really like AssistU’s straightforward, high quality, pull no punches approach. In addition, they have the MOST comprehensive program available and not ONE person I spoke to had anything negative to say about their experience. That’s pretty amazing.

1. Upon being admitted as a student of the VTP, you’ll gain IMMEDIATE access to the AssistU community portal. This electronic forum is an amazing wealth of knowledge where you can interact with other VAs, get help with ANY VA-related topic, and enjoy the archives of priceless tips, resources, and trial-and-error stories of your fellow VAs. This is truly one of the most valuable benefits offered by AssistU and it’s FREE!

2. While in the VTP, you have the opportunity to participate in monthly coaching sessions with Stacy herself and can event take advantage of discounted coaching sessions once you graduate. They hold your hand through the process of building your business, step-by-step.

3. AssistU is literally flooded with requests for high-quality Virtual Assistants every single day and those who belong to the Registry have an opportunity to respond directly to these inquiries and engage new clients. ONLY AssistU VAs are part of the Registry program and this is usually the first stop for new potential clients when they start looking for a VA. I have personally gained a fair amount of business from the Registry and know VA’s who have built their entire business using the Registry.

4. The AssistU community is the BEST support system for new and established VAs alike. No negative energy, comments or influence is tolerated and each member truly strives to support everyone in the community. No question is stupid, no request is to big or too small for us to help each other with. The camaraderie is fabulous and we each do everything we can to make sure that we all maintain thriving businesses.

5. Last but not least, AssistU has amazing standards for its members. This is what truly sets it apart from any other program. You can’t just pay your way in. You have to qualify and bring something to the table. AssistU is deeply committed to improving the industry for VAs and Clients and they are constantly raising the bar for what is acceptable and what’s not. They walk their talk and will teach you how to be the best VA you can possibly be, while giving you EVERYTHING you need to create a successful business.

As you can see, hands down, AssistU has got it going on and it is THE place to be for savvy Virtual Assistants. And, it is the ONLY training program recommended by EA -> VA. So come join us! You can find out more by visiting www.eatova.com/assistu.
