The Coaches Console Certifies VAs

My journey with The Coaches Console began as an interested virtual assistant in support of coaching professionals. One of my first coach clients used The Coaches Console and was gracious enough to let me ‘play’ with it. Of course, I ‘played’ with it on my own time and had so much fun, that I started to attend every Tuesday@ 2 call I could. I found those calls to be so informative, and I loved being able to ask a live person questions. After a while, Melinda got to know me as the inquisitive virtual assistant, always present and ready to contribute. I was even one of the first VAs certified in 2007, I believe. Then in 2009, something amazing happened.

Melinda called and asked if I would be interested in redesigning the VA Certification Program with her! After I pulled myself off the floor, I gave her a resounding ‘Yes’. We set to work and created the Certified VA Boot Camp and the Certified VA Team. Since May 2009, we’ve certified 15 virtual assistants and served over 100 members of The Coaches Console through the Certified VA Team.

In November 2009, The Coaches Console launched a new release with state-of-the-art functionality and presence. Since then, our membership has grown which means there are more coaches using the system without a VA.  Since we know how valuable our certification is, we want to be sure that more VAs can participate. So, we have revamped our original  Certification Program to include two levels: Novice and Master.  The Novice Certification takes only four weeks, whereas the Master Certification takes eight weeks.

On May 12 at 3:00 PM, we will be hosting a FREE Information Call for all VAs and Coaches who want to know more. We will be sharing the new structure of the programs, what benefits are gained by certification, and let you hear from our current Certified VA Team.  Let me share just a tidbit of information with you so you can decide if the call will be beneficial for you.

Why should you want to be certified? Most VAs aren’t skilled at using The Coaches Console, so they can’t adequately support their coach. As I mentioned, with our membership growth, there will be more coaches needing quality support. By certifying through our VA Boot Camp Certification Programs, you will increase your comfort level, confidence, and value in working with coaches.

Hear what our Certified VAs have to say about the benefits they’ve received:

“Coaches were not my niche but I got to work with a variety of coaches from new to established. I’ve learned about coaches and now like working with them.”

“By attending the Certification Program, I’ve had the opportunity to learn new ways to support coaches.”

“Using my certification lets me work with different types of coaches and helps me determine which ones are ideal for me.”

“I am finding out ways to market my services more attractively so I can help my clients.”

Here’s something else to think about for your own VA Business:

* Have you wished for an all-in-one system for managing your VA business?
* Would you like to save time by using one comprehensive system to perform basic tasks?
* How about increasing your availability to work on revenue-generating projects?
* Would you like to save money by preventing expensive mistakes and pursuing useless trial offers?

If so, then The Coaches Console VA Boot Camp Certification programs will be perfect for you! If you’d like to know even more, visit our event page at http://tccbootcamp.eventbrite.com to view the full invitation. You will be able to register on the spot and save your seat.
