The ability to provide great service is the most critical quality a successful virtual assistant. The greater your aptitude, the more competitive you are. Today, you can go online to sharpen your skills- and even acquire new ones- in the comfort of your own home office. Many online courses can even be completed at your own pace.
The scope of the online courses offered today is amazing. Many are even free. That's right. F-R-E-E. Websites like learnthat.com, free-ed.net, and freeskills.com offer their impressive selection of courses at no charge at all. What a great opportunity to be able to increase your knowledge to the benefit of your clients- and yourself!
While free courses can be of great benefit, many are unable to issue certificates of completion. If a certificate is important to you, maybe the offerings of sites like e-LearningCenter.com are more your style. They offer some free courses as well to demonstrate their quality. However, most of their courses are available for a very small fee (all of the ones I looked at cost less than $40) and you are awarded a certificate of completion after you have mastered the content. They also offer bundled courses on topics ranging from web development to small business at shockingly low prices. I took their free HTML course (certificate not included, but I had the option to pay the fee and get one) and was quite impressed.
So what is it that you would like to learn how to do - or how to do better? Spend a few minutes and evaluate what could make you more competitive as a virtual assistant and take the first steps towards accomplishing those things. There is no time like the present to improve your service and yourself. With so many opportunities for free and low-cost courses, all you need is the drive to excel.
