Nina Feldman, Nina Feldman Connections, and I have talked often in recent months about the need to identify quality training options for Virtual Assistants at various points in their careers.

Having been in the VA industry for many years, Nina and I agree it’s the responsibility of veterans in the field to help others find the professional development options that they require.

Certainly, training options abound, and here’s a link to some. Many of these target new VAs rather than experienced professionals looking to expand their skills into new or build their existing competencies to the expert level.

Nina shared the results of her search for quality training and has allowed me to pass it along here:

Recently, Sydni Craig-Hart, of EA to VA (Executive Assistant to Virtual Assistant) training, whom I’ve known locally for some time, has let me audit some of her teleseminars, and I’ve been extremely impressed.

Below are the links to the exceptionally useful information she provides to virtual assistants wanting to learn how to be more successful in their practices. Herself an early graduate of AssistU who has taken that training to even greater levels, I believe Sydni can save VAs thousands of dollars in money and time growing their businesses.

While some of her promotional material (see links below) makes her training sound almost too good to be true, it’s actually not. After attending several of her workshops, I’ve found them to be spot on.

Sydni is able to charge $75/hr. and more for her VA services due to her high level of professionalism and knowledge of the kinds of help clients need. VAs who want to make a good living at what they do are lucky that she is generous about sharing how she got to that point and how they can, too.
