Now, if you were to sit down for a coffee with one of our long-term students and ask them why they chose (and continue to choose) VAClassroom as their go-to VA professional development platform, they might give you a whole variety of reasons, but typically these are the seven that we hear most often:

#4. Specialized Training in the Most Popular Niches

In the Virtual Assistant industry, there used to be quite the debate on whether one should be a “Generalist” or a “Specialist”. Over time, we have consistently seen that those with specialized, in-demand skills ultimately create the best income and business opportunities for themselves.

We have created specialized training tracks in seven core areas including social media, internet marketing, graphic design, business management, content development, virtual events and technology all for the end goal of helping you hone and refine your specific skill sets so you can continue to provide awesome services to your clients.

#5. Authentic and Knowledgeable Instructors

Craig Cannings along with a talented faculty of instructors and Mentors offer a warm, encouraging and practical approach to your learning at VAClassroom. We believe that learning should NEVER be boring or irrelevant and we seek to develop well-designed, creative and fun programs to help you best retain and apply what you learn to your business and the work you do with your clients.

#6. Meaningful Community

“It takes a village to build a great virtual business”. Yes, we know that it is not the expression, but it certainly rings true that the most successful Virtual Assistants and Freelancers didn’t build their business all by themselves… they enlisted support, mentoring & coaching along the way. Our University features an encouraging community of Virtual Assistants that motivate, inspire, inform and encourage each other to build the VA business of their dreams!

#7. Champion for Your Success

The greatest compliment we probably ever received was from a student that shared, “It is as if Craig  actually cares about our success”. We DO truly care about the success of our students and want to help them to build a thriving, enduring and flexible Virtual Assistant business.
