Virtual Assistants Certification
 
 

Certification Process

 

You do not need to obtain certification with TOPVA to be considered for our virtual assistant projects. We welcome and encourage any qualified and educated virtual assistant to apply.  However, if you would like to increase your chances of being hired for home based projects, we recommend our Certified Virtual Assistant courses.

 

TOPVA’s Certified Virtual Assistant program requires that you complete a three part test that includes skills, ethics, industry and technology knowledge and document practice. For additional information, send email to topvatest@topvainc.com

 

 

Why Get Certified

 

Obtaining certification will allow you to show hiring managers that you are professional, skilled and qualified to handle projects from your home. We’ve found this to be the best way to put yourself ahead of the competition in order to get hired, land projects and receive priority consideration for new job opportunities - not just with TOPVA but with all hiring organizations, managers and professionals. Your certification will also help you obtain employment as a Virtual Assistant with employers nationwide.
