I'm Almost Certified! Why VA Training Might Be Worth It.

I've been one of those who say you don't need Virtual Assistant training to be a Virtual Assistant. And I'm holding to that. You can have exactly what you need to be an awesome VA, without any training at all.

But a few weeks ago I enrolled in an Article Marketing Training Course for Virtual Assistants. I did it kind of on a whim... I just thought it would be nice to have some sort of official certification listed on my virtual "resume."

Now that I'm halfway through the course, though, I can say that taking this training has definitely been one of wisest business decisions I've made. (Right up there with buying the Virtual Business Startup System, which still ranks as my #1 best choice!)

I'm not even done the course yet, but my pending certification is already increasing my credibility (and my income) with clients and potential clients.

Better yet, I'm gaining the expertise and knowledge that goes along with that credibility. Experience is a good teacher, but you might miss some things along the way.

Do you need some Virtual Assistant Training? Maybe not. Then again, maybe. Perhaps it could boost your business in a way you hadn't expected.

If you're thinking of taking some training, there are lots of programs to choose from. It depends on what skills you want to learn, where you are in your business development, and how you learn best.

If you're just starting out, I highly recommend the Virtual Business Startup System. It's a training package you can do on your own, in your own time.

If you're looking to specialize, you could consider:

VA Classroom offers an Internet Marketing VA Course.

You can train to become a Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant.

Here are some other training programs that might interest you:

Whichever way you decide to go, remember to do your research and talk to others who have gone through the training program you're considering.
