Virtual Assistant Training Opportunities
Academy of Virtual Professionals
Enhance Learning... Embrace Technology! - Thinking Out of the Cube and Into the Tube. This training program utilizes our book and workbook, Virtual Assistant - The Series, and is the brainchild of Virtual Assistant - The Series co-author, Kelly Poelker.
Acadmy of Virtual Professionals is the premier learning center for virtual professionals to enhance or develop their small business management skills. Through an online environment with the support of an instructor and subject matter experts students can study a myriad of subjects pertaining to small business management and professional development. While classes are geared toward those working in a virtual environment some students may benefit in any workforce or for personal development.
Red Deer College
We have used Virtual Assistant - The Series for over four years now in our online training of Virtual Assistants. This is an excellent resource for instructing VA students on topics relevant to this industry. Diana and Kelly have done a thorough job detailing what is required to be a successful VA.

Colleges and Universities currently using Virtual Assistant - The Series in their curriculum:
As an instructor of emerging virtual assistants, I have incorporated Diana Ennen and Kelly Poelker’s book, Virtual Assistant, The Series, and accompanying work book as required text for my students. The book guides students from the basic concept of the virtual assistant industry to creating a workable business plan, marketing plan, and web presence. The workbook encourages students to integrate material from the book into their personal goals and objectives. My belief is that Virtual Assistant, The Series has given my students the necessary foundation to become successful entrepreneurs. Randi Tucker Barr |
