So you want to be 
a Virtual Assistant Trainer?

Let’s make it official.

CPD ACCREDITED COURSE

£497

For years, there’s been no safe, affordable way to level up from ‘busy, booked-out VA’ to ‘highly paid VA Trainer’.

Now there is – and it’s CPD Accredited, so you’ve got instant credibility.

Catherine Gladwyn How to become a Virtual Assistant Trainer Course

Is it time to share what you’ve achieved with other women?

Here’s the deal:

  • People keep asking you how to be a VA, how to set up, how to get clients — and you’ve been giving away your knowledge for free.

  • You’ve got at least 2 years in the game, your client diary’s full, and you actually know what you’re talking about.

  • You love this industry and would rather eat your laptop than see it ruined by bad advice.

  • Maybe you’ve dabbled in VA training before, but it’s been a bit… meh. You want to do it properly and actually make money from it.

If you’re ready to turn your experience into a whole new income stream – without winging it, without guesswork, and without undercharging – this is the next step on your wonderful working life.

The Course

The course is delivered online using a variety of teaching methods to keep you engaged, and to make the learning easy and enjoyable throughout. This includes videos, worksheets, written guidance and audio.

There is also a private FB group to ask me questions at any time.

On completion, you will sign a code of conduct and complete a test – which I will personally mark – before you are awarded your CPD accreditation and certificate.

Debbie sold the first place on her 1:1 Coaching within 2 weeks of completing the course for £499

I would not have known what order to do everything in, that it was not only ok but essential to start marketing first, and so many other pointers that I would have not known on my own or would have taken ages to get there. So so brilliant. Thank you.

Jen put one post on LinkedIn after completing the course and sold a Power Hour for £90

I absolutely loved this course. I enjoyed all of the steps to get to where I want to be. I loved that I could ask questions in the Facebook group and that others were learning along with me and we could support each other. I loved that Catherine was immediately there to give advice and support too. The course was engaging and not full of jargon that I didn’t understand. It was very relatable and kept me wanting to move on through the course.

FAQs

How long does the course take to complete?

The course takes around ten hours to complete. 

What is your refund policy?

The promised course content is available to you immediately after purchase and all objectives are achievable when every step of the course is implemented.

If you feel anything is missing please email support@catherinegladwyn.co.uk.

But please kindly be aware that online digital courses are not immediately refundable unless there is evidence that you’ve been misled or objectives are not met. 

Please never purchase unless you’re 100% sure you have the funds and have thoroughly read the sales page.

Will the VA Coaching market become over saturated?

No. More and more women want a better working life and deserve to earn more money, they need guidance to achieve that without overwhelm and that’s why you’re needed.

Are legal contracts included?

No, sorry. I have no legal training and even if I provided contracts from someone who has I’d be worried to death about missing updates. I therefore direct you to KoffeeKlatch. I am no only one of their buyers, but also an affiliate. Please use discount code CATH10 if you make a purchase so you can get 10% off.

Will I definitely make six figures?

If you had six apples and sold them each for £10 you’d not make six figures.

If you sold them for £17,000 each you would.

Daft analogy but you get my thinking. I can’t guarantee anything because there are so many factors at play, including.

 

  • What you charge.
  • How many you sell.
  • How well and often you market yourself.

Do I need different insurance to be a VA Coach

If you’re mentoring others it is different to providing a service as a VA. So please check with your insurers.

For my mentoring insurance I use and recommend Policy Bee, and as one of their affiliates I have a link which gives you up to 10% off your quote.

Are there enough potential VAs that want training?

The 2023 SVA Survey of VAs showed that 51% of current VAs undertook some form of coaching / mentoring.

 

What does 'access for life' mean?

The software this course is hosted on is ThriveCart and I’ve bought the lifetime plan so there’s no reason why this course won’t be available even if I get hit by the number 49.
