Hello to everyone!

First, Hello Cecilia. I'm sorry that I did not return a hello more quickly. I was out of state presenting a Teambuilding session for a client of mine.

Second, Hello Deb. I think becoming a virtual assistant is relatively easy if you have some years of admin experience, a home office with most of the bells and whistles, and knowledge.

I was blessed that the military had a free certification program. I did have to qualify (meaning years of experience, etc.). There are virtual training programs and certifications on the internet.

I don't have any experience with any of them so I cannot recommend any. I do feel that if you are going to become an administrative virtual assistant that you need to have the following basics:

1. Strong English skills
2. Several years administrative experience
3. Office management/supervisor experience
4. Computer knowledge
5. A funtioning home office

Again, this is a very basic list of what you need to start out as a VA.
