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.
