VA Village Introduction

Welcome to VA Village, your source of information for VAs about VAs.

The Alliance for Virtual Businesses' Meet VAs section is the premier location showcasing Virtual Assistants. Visitors can search by Industry category or Service to find their ideal Virtual Assistant. VAs can create an informative profile detailing their experience, business/niche and philosophies. The Meet VAs section is a gateway for business owners, media, aspiring and even established VAs to introduce themselves to listees. Support the A4VB and its campaign to promote the VA industry, worldwide, by joining as a Basic, Professional or Premier member. VAs everywhere will Reap the Benefits!

In June, 2007, after 18 months of evaluation and preparation, the Alliance, and a group of VA trainers, organization leadership, and experienced and new VAs, released a Core Competencies for Emerging VAs (Second Edition) document to serve as the base or foundation for continued growth and the longevity of virtual assistant industry. Emerging, Aspiring and Veteran VAs are invited to use this document as the basic qualifications/skill sets suggested for individuals interested in becoming Virtual Assistants.

  • Certifications  ( 4 items )

    Virtual Assistant membership organizations realize that to gain intra-industry and worldwide acceptance, certification mechanisms needed to be developed to evaluate and support Virtual Assistants that have achieved a high level of competency. Several organizations crafted policies and tests to evaluate a VAs' abilities to provide superior service to clients.

    In some instances, credentialing is open to any practicing virtual assistant. In others, it is available for members of the credentialing organization only. Below is a list of organizations that offer certification opportunities. Feel free to visit their websites and read their requirements.

    The Alliance for Virtual Businesses does not endorse the programs, etc., listed and strongly recommends performing due diligence before enrolling in any program, or purchasing a publication or buying a listed resource, tool or service. Visit our Terms of Use section for more details.
