Virtual Assistant Career Path (6 Levels)

It has been the experience of dozens of prospective VAs that they have insisted on starting at a higher level than they have demonstrated competence. We explain to them every time why the prizes cannot be awarded before they have earned them – a gold medal before they begin training since they are certainly capable of it and would be motivated by it if they received it before they began training.

The beauty of the leveling system is, it’s legitimate. VAs can expand their knowledge by leveling up, as long as they are willing to learn and capable of completing the tasks. We offer a career path that consists of six levels.
