The worst thing that can happen to the birth and continued growth of a new industry is to have the public lose its confidence in the ability of those individuals practicing within the profession. This can slow down or even stop the industry s growth. By developing high standards for VAs to meet, we are telling the world that this industry takes itself very seriously, and the VAs who obtain the certification take their businesses very seriously, as well. Other certifications within the Virtual Assistant industry have failed to meet the expectations the public demands. The most obvious reasons that these certifications have failed to impress the public are that they are restricted to members of their own organizations or graduates of their own training programs and do not necessarily take into account formal education or experience.
Every applicant is rated using the same formula, leaving no room for playing favorites.
There are no secrets as to how the certification works. VAs at this level have worked hard to hone their skills and are experienced in their craft. This level consists of VAs who have expanded their education with additional courses pertaining to their practice and who have more depth of experience by taking on a variety of tasks and projects.
