YOU'VE DONE THE WORK 💻 IT'S TIME TO GET RECOGNIZED ✔️

You’ve built your virtual assistant business.

You’ve got the skills, the drive, and the commitment to your clients. But how do you prove that to potential leads?

The Your Behind the Scenes BFF® Certification was created to help experienced and aspiring VAs like you show up professionally, get pre-vetted, and join a trusted network of client-ready service providers.

Whether you’ve taken Beginner to Booked VA or learned your skills elsewhere, this is your chance to get certified, get visible, and get hired.

Our certification program is perfect if you…

  • Already have a VA business but want a way to stand out

  • Want potential clients to see you as professional, trustworthy, and ready to hire

  • Crave more credibility and visibility in a competitive industry

  • Want access to an exclusive VA network for leads, referrals, and monthly support

  • Are ready to invest in your business and your brand reputation

The certification is broken down into 5 parts:

  • Portfolio + VA Profile

    PART 1

    You’ll submit a portfolio that you will be able to not only use for this certification, but on your social media channels, in pitches to potential clients, your future website and more!

  • Client-Ready Checklist

    PART 2

    You’ll be required to show you’ve got the essentials in place including how clients can get ahold of you, schedule their discovery calls, your invoicing system, and more.

  • Client Simulations

    PART 3

    You’ll complete 2 mock client projects so we can see your real-life readiness

  • “What Would You Do?” Scenarios

    PART 4

    Prove you know how to handle tricky situations that come with the job. This shows us (and future clients) that you’re dependable and proactive.

  • Personal Statement and Commitment
