What is a Virtual Assistant?
Who can become a Professional Virtual Assistant?
I am confident I have those skills why do I need to train as a Virtual Assistant?
What will I learn from this Virtual Assistant Training Course?
The 6-module training course “The Early Days of a Virtual Assistant” focuses on providing you with very clear guidelines on what the role a Virtual Assistant is. It will help you clarify your skillset so you can decide on what niche service(s) you wish to offer to your ideal clients, again providing guidelines on how to find and recognise them. The course will also cover how to manage client expectations in a way that you set boundaries with clients from the start and how to manage your time so that you can create a work/life balance that does not result in you feeling burnt out.
Starting a business is very exciting and daunting at the same time. It’s natural to want to take on every opportunity that may come your way, but taking on the wrong opportunities can have a negative impact on you and your business if you are not clear on what you offer. Taking the time to clarify the above from the start will go a long way to helping you grow your business.
How will I learn the other skills required to start my Virtual Assistant Business?
Along with the 6-module training programme, you will have an opportunity to purchase individual mini-courses that will cover all aspects of starting a business. A discount rate will be offered on these mini-courses should you purchase one of the 3 package options available to you which can be found HERE.
The mini-courses are separate to the “Early Days of a Virtual Assistant” course. This decision was made to ensure that all package options could be provided at a competitive price point and to also allow you choose and complete the mini-courses relevant to the different stages of setting up your virtual assistant business.
Where do I take this training programme to become a Virtual Assistant?
The 6 modules are pre-recorded videos and can be completed in your own time. Each module comes with support documentation to help you as you work through each module. Each module links to the previous module and it is recommended that you complete one before moving to the next. When you purchase the package option of your choice, you will be provided with your own dedicated log-in details to access the training videos on our website www.reva.ie and the support documentation can be downloaded.
How can I engage your service as a Business Mentor?
If you choose the “Ready to Rock as a Virtual Assistant” package you will gain access to the 6-week group mentoring option. The group will be limited to a maximum of 10 participants and will be scheduled for 1.5hrs per week on a chosen day of the week Monday to Friday. In advance of each group mentoring session, you will be asked to submit your questions prior to the agreed day to ensure your questions are covered. During the live mentoring session, you will be given the opportunity to engage 1:1 with me to ensure I have answered your question(s) clearly. In the event you cannot make the live group mentoring session, these will be recorded and a link to the working session will be shared by email.
The benefit of the group mentoring session is that other participants may ask questions you have not thought of, so it is an opportunity to learn from each other over the 6 weeks. It is also an opportunity to get to know others who are participating in the training whereby you can support each other outside of the group sessions.
If you choose the “Mastering my Virtual Assistant Business” package, as well as gaining access to the group mentoring sessions, you can avail of 6 x 1hr 1:2:1 mentoring calls with me directly over a period of 6 months where I provide direct mentoring support to guide you through the process of setting up your virtual assistant business.
