"The VA Mastery Coaching and Training provided me with guidelines for the foundation of my business and helped me to focus on the market in which I would like to attract clients. Carmen encouraged me to develop the initial ideas I had, and gave lots of practical advice on the way forward, including essentials such as statutory requirements for setting up a new business.

I would recommend this course to anyone thinking about setting up their own business as a VA."

Gillian Richmond, YourUKPA. (Chairman of EUMA)

The learning continues after the courses with personalised one to one telephone coaching support as well as group mentoring which covers a period of 6 months, so you are made accountable and supported to keep you on track which is one way many have been able to do so well.

Just a reminder that this is not just a full training course, but we go into so much depth to deal with the mindset for success, confidence building, creating a business around you, how to manage the business around work or family, mind barriers, dealing with fear of change, confidence in presenting and much more.


How is the course structured?

The courses are run in two stages:


Stage One is the course of your choice.

Stage Two is a further one year of your VA business training development and support in the form of the VA Mastery Club which is just for graduates of the course and provides further business development, mentoring and coaching, as well as a local VA community and buddy group.
