Bravo! This is very exciting and I know this will be a much sought after certification. As our VA Industry continues to grow, potential clients will be looking for those “top-notch” VAs and a certification will certainly be a Plus!

Que Chevere!! That’s Great news!! in Spanish. Can’t wait. Tawnya: Thanks so much for working so hard to help us in this exciting career path!!
March 9th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Very exciting! Looking forward to more details about the VAcertification Program. This can only spur on the VA industry and propel VA awareness even more. Thanks for spearheading this Tawnya!
March 9th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
As a seasoned VA, I know that credentials are almost always noticed by the public and potential clients. This certification will only help get our industry ‘out there’ even more. Thanks to everyone on the Board for working on this. I can’t wait!!
March 9th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Awesome news. The team of highly regarded VAs that are on the Board makes this a very credible and worthwhile program. Thank you.
March 9th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Tawnya,
I’m glad you’ve taken this on! This is what I was exactly talking about in FoVA 2008. Hope you’re offering an affiliate program for it as well
Best,

I think this is an excellent opportunity to provide consistency and reliability on a global level.
Good job!
March 10th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I’m glad to see VAnetworking.com rising to the occasion to be a leader in this certification project. At present, virtual assistants are not regulated, but that time may come. Meanwhile, any VA that has put forth effort to get into training and be acknowledged with valid, profound certification such as would come from VAnetworking.com has a great recommendation line for the resume.
March 10th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Thanks so much for putting this together. I think it goes a long way to continue to validate our industry!!
March 10th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
You have an impressive group of people involved here and the idea of an internationally recognized certification for VAs is finally going to be a reality and reassure the world that we are professionals who take great pride in our ethics. Great idea and I can’t wait for it to launch!
March 11th, 2009 at 9:45 am
I can’t wait to find out more information on the VA Certification process – it will be great to finally have a worldwide recognised certification for all of us hard working self-respecting VAs.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:01 am
At long last a group of highly skilled board members to create this wonderful opportunity for Virtual Assistants worldwide – I firmly believe that this is another way forward to promote our vastly growing industry and putting the name of the VA out there so that we are heard, understood, respected and our services utilised because we are the future.
March 11th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Brilliant news! I look forward to receiving more information on this exciting programme.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:37 am
This is well overdue and a great idea, which will obviously be supported by those of us in the Industry who believe that such accreditation adds value to what we do. Fantastic – well done and looking forward to the launch!
March 14th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
How exciting! This certification will surely add credibility to the VA industry. I am looking forward to the launch.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:03 pm

March 17th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Great news – an international certification to benchmark VA’s. Looking forward to hearing more about it!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
This is another great idea by our VA pioneer, Tawnya. I am also impressed with the Board of Advisors, many of whom are colleagues of mine that I have learned from or collaborated with in the industry. It will be nice to see more attention drawn to the VA industry by this powerhouse of professionals. Looking forward to the launch!
March 23rd, 2009 at 9:41 am
An interesting concept – I look forward to finding out more info.
March 24th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
About time the VA industry had a global standard, which clients worldwide can use to benchmark the service they are looking for.
Very much looking forward to receiving information about the VA Certified course.
March 24th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I think this is a great idea. It will help to enhance the credibility of VAs and I look forward to learning more about the certification process.
March 27th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I was always a firm believer that I have paid the price of certification through my experience and education, but I’ve never thought about it in the manner that has been set forth with the VACertified program. I’m now excited to learn more about the process and what it is going to take for me to earn such a prestigious title. Thanks Tawnya for another bright idea!
April 1st, 2009 at 11:44 pm

I have been working as a VA for a year and a half and love the idea of being certified. I can’t wait to get started towards that goal!
August 11th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
This is GREAT! I look forward to becoming certified. This simply adds to the many different talents I have to offer my clients. Thank you!

I am looking forward to learning more about the certification program and agree that it is an excellent credential to share with clients.
August 7th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
I am interested in becoming a virtual assistant, but have significant experience already. I have a BBA in Management, over 30 years experience working with different office machines and applications, since I was actually around when PCs came on the market when I was 17.
I have also completed 9 online masters courses in Instructional Technology, and through this time, I was a group leader for more than 10 groups. My portfolio of my work is my website.
The training I would need the most, is the skills specific to virtual assistants, and the methods in setting up and starting a successful business.
Two years ago, I moved to be near my father after my mother died. I was a certified math,science and business education teacher, but found my certifications would not transfer without significant expense of more coursework and more testing. When I have so many demonstrated technological skills I felt it was a waste of time and money to further pursue education.
Please let me know what it would take to become a VA and reputable training facilities.

I want to become a VA and learn how to run a business from home, I am in the medical field and I work in a hospital setting and also I have administrative experience, but I need some training to get back on track.
September 21st, 2010 at 4:00 am
I stumbled upon becoming a Virtual Assistant while on maternity leave. I am not excited about going back to Corporate America so I’m please that there is a certification to help make my decision to stay home easier
August 5th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
There is nothing better than having the freedom to work from home, be your own boss and avoid the corporate ratrace
Good luck with your new career!
August 5th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
There are some excellent Virtual Assistant Training programs out there and I suggest starting here: http://www.vanetworking.com/vatraining/
August 5th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
You appear to have the technical side covered to become a Virtual Assistant and just need help taking your business virtually. With some common business help and support from other VAs, you may just find that is all you need. I suggest joining the Virtual Assistant Forum and post your questions there.
December 10th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
I feel so liberated to work at home and have all of these avenues opened up to me. God, this is exciting.
December 15th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
This is great information. I a newly started VA business with a specialization in the legal environment in Charlotte, NC.
December 9th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
I have been in business for a couple of years now, but I’m not certified. I would like my VA certification to build credibility with my virtual audience.
March 20th, 2013 at 6:10 pm
Credibility in the eyes of your prospective clients is highly important to the Virtual Assistant landing that next client. It highlights your VA business over your competitors who are not certified and makes your VA business one clients can trust.
Clients originally came to me requesting this VA Certification Board to help make the task of finding the best VA for them easier, the reason we developed VAcertified.com
