What is the best Virtual Assistant training for you?

14th April 2026

choosing the right va training

What is the best Virtual Assistant training for you? Whether you are looking to launch your own VA business or you are already up and running, your training requirements differ. You must pick the right solution for your specific needs. This is why we offer two distinct pathways: the VA Momentum Course and the VA Membership.  Here is how to decide which one fits your current reality.

As your business develops, your needs evolve. When you are starting out, you require training that helps you build solid business foundations. This means focusing on your business structure, identifying your niche, and planning for sustainable growth.

However, once your business is operational, you need training that addresses growth and maintenance. You will be seeking specific marketing strategies, advice on working with associates, and solutions to the daily challenges of being a business owner.

The Best Training Meets You Where You Are

The VA Momentum Course and the VA Membership serve different purposes. The VA Momentum Course is a comprehensive, hands-on study option featuring webinars, worksheets, and sample documents. It is designed to keep you focused on building business knowledge in a structured order. Each module builds on the last, culminating in your own business roadmap: The VA Knowledge – Your Business Bible.

The VA Membership is a resource you dip into as needed. You choose what to work on based on your immediate requirements. It suits any stage of business, offering training courses, resources, swipe copy, and a professional community. It is about topping up your skills and expanding your network while you maintain your momentum.  It complements the VA Momentum Course by going deeper on subjects that you feel you need more advice and support o. 

The VA Momentum Course: Solid Foundations

If you are in the startup phase or just thinking about it, the VA Momentum Course is the essential choice. It provides the foundations required to build the business you actually want. It focuses entirely on getting you up, running, and professional.

This course helps you decide how your business will look and what you need to know to make it thrive. It covers financial planning, business strategy, mindset, and the practical skills of a VA. It also prepares you for client management and working with other VAs who may eventually become your associates.

VA Membership: A Professional Community

If your business is already established, you need a program that caters to that maturity. The VA Membership offers exactly that. You gain access to diverse training modules alongside an authentic, supportive community that understands the reality of the VA industry. It is a training community rather than a linear course.  But supported with a private support community and weekly group coaching, weekly co-working and weekly accountability.

Is This For You?

If you are still undecided, let us cut through the noise. Find the description below that matches your current situation.

The VA Momentum Course is for you if:

  • You are currently in a 9 to 5, have been made redundant or at home and dreaming of starting a business but have no idea where to begin.

  • You feel overwhelmed by the legalities, insurance requirements, and the thought of HMRC.

  • You need a structured, step by step roadmap to ensure your foundations are professional from day one.

  • You want to move from thinking about it to actually being a business owner with a Business Bible in your hand.

The VA Membership is for you if:

  • Your business is already launched and you have or have had your first clients.

  • You feel isolated working alone and want an authentic community to brainstorm with.

  • You are looking to scale, perhaps by hiring Associates, and need the swipe copy and resources to do it right.

  • You want professional development on tap without having to commit to a rigid, linear classroom schedule.

  • You feel lonely and would benefit from having a private support community around you. 

  • You have done a course elsewhere but are really struggling with finding clients or creating a marketing plan. 

Professional Support Options

Both the VA Momentum Course and the VA Membership offer optional 1:2:1 upgrades. The best training provides paths for further support when things get complex.

Our 1:2:1 options include regular strategy coaching, weekly accountability, and ongoing email support to keep you moving forward. 

When it comes to your VA business, do not settle for fluff. Ensure you have access to the best training possible. If you need to set your foundations, look at the VA Momentum Course. If you have the foundations but want ongoing growth and community, the VA Membership is where you belong.  Have a stalk through my testimonials https://vatrainingacademy.co.uk/about/testimonials – I always share names of individuals / businesses where possible so you can see they are in fact real and not made up to entice you in.
