I discovered the VA 101 course through IVAA (International Virtual Assistant Association) and am so completely thrilled and satisfied that I did! Signing up has been a tremendous help and I’m already receiving an excellent return on investment. Keep up the great work guys and you certainly have a “Lifer” with this Virtual Assistant.
About VAClassroom
In 2008, my wife Kelly and I co-founded VAClassroom.com with the purpose of becoming the #1 go-to training center for Virtual Assistants from around the globe! As of this year, we have successfully trained over 10,000 Virtual Assistants in more than 40 countries and have recently launched a brand new VA University featuring over 40 certifications, courses and workshops.
Kelly and I have had the great privilege of building VAClassroom while raising and homeschooling our 5 daughters who are the greatest blessings of our lives.
I look forward to seeing you either in VA 101 or at our University very soon.
I leave you with my favorite quote from marketing guru, Seth Godin: "The only worse thing than starting something and failing... is not starting something."

VA Classroom has been invaluable. They are always monitoring the changes in online business and providing new content and updates to existing courses. These aren't quickie courses either. They are robust courses that go from A to Z in a clear and concise manner. VA Classroom starts with the basic building blocks of being a VA and work up to more detailed, finite instruction on every aspect and area of being a successful VA. They provide real life examples and templates you can use in your own business. Freelance University courses, with Craig's guidance, will walk you through finding your niche, to designing your website, how to package and price to e-commerce, digital marketing and everything in between that you never ever knew you needed. Thank you Craig, Kelly and the whole team at VA Classroom!

I really like being able to work at my own speed and learn things that I can use in my freelancer business. I love the Facebook group because people will get on there and ask a question that I may have thought of; therefore, the answers are really helpful. Whenever I have a question and email the [email protected], I get the answer within hours.I have changed my hours at work so I am off for Facebook Friday which is great but if I do miss it, it is recorded so I can access it at any time. I love love love VAclassroom.

This has been the BEST thing that has happened to me since I started my VA journey 8 years ago. It has given me DIRECTION, How To's on contracts, proposals, onboarding, incredible Support and Knowledge. I feel like I'm starting my business all over again but doing it right this time. Craig does an amazing job and I love all of the classes. He is not only knowledgeable but he's engaging and recognizes the personal/emotional piece of what we may be feeling as he teaches as well. I just can't say thank you enough!!!! :) Leslie Goldenberg

The training programs are excellent. For example, no other 30-day startup program compares to the VA 101 (I tried others). And there is so much technical knowledge: software / tools, soft skills, and business skills. The support and wisdom from mentors is superb.Marilyn Narotso, Words and Scribes

I was very impressed with VA Classroom's VA 101 course. I had been seriously thinking about becoming a VA for over a year and found the VA 101 course to be the perfect step in obtaining the information I needed to start my business. I wish I had taken this course earlier in order to increase my knowledge and confidence!

Joining Freelance University has been one of the BEST investments I’ve made since starting as a virtual assistant in 2010. The courses are robust and easy to follow with a variety of options from those just starting out, to VAs (like me) wanting to enhance skills and specialties and learn new ways to help my clients. The support in the Facebook group is tremendous, from the mentors and other students to Craig and Kelly often jumping in to share their expertise. The value of the University is second to none. Without hesitation, I would recommend this University to all virtual professionals.

I've built and run 5 different successful online businesses over the last 9 years, and while none of them have been easy, there is one that has gotten substantially easier (and more profitable) in the last year. And that business? Is the one with a VAClassroom graduate handling a large portion of the day-to-day operations in the business. My wife and I have had several other VA's over the years, and the one from VAClassroom is, by far, the best we've ever had.
- Forest Linden, Art of Money
I have taken many courses from VAClassroom and can honestly say that my business would not be where it is without the skills I obtained from them. Thanks to VAClassroom, I can now offer an array of in-demand services which has increased my business substantially.
