So you want to become a virtual assistant, eh?
I don’t blame you.
It’s one of the easiest online jobs to start and can be extremely flexible. And if you specialize and build some experience, it’s also quite lucrative.
Maybe you want to work from the comfort of your couch. Or maybe you want a job that allows you to travel the world.
Either way, a virtual assistant gig may be right up your alley.
But starting a virtual assistant business is easier said than done. So in this guide, I share the six best virtual assistant courses online — both free and paid.
I have spent 100+ hours taking and reviewing the top VA courses, so make sure to check out the individual course review videos for more insider information on any given course.
Before we dive in, let’s make sure we all understand the different types of virtual assistants.
Table of Contents
TL;DR – Best VA courses that actually work
Each course has pros and cons and teaches slightly different material, so I recommend reading my in-depth reviews below before choosing one over the other.
▶︎ The SavvySystem. Most comprehensive virtual assistant training program.
▶︎ 90 Day VA. Best alternative virtual assistant program for female VAs.
▶︎ Virtual Excellence Academy. Best bang for your buck (the “Goldilocks” option — balance of features and price).
▶︎ Fully Booked VA. Best premium-level course for tighter budgets (if you use our discount code mentioned below).
▶︎ $10K VA. Alternative for those interested in outsourcing and scaling with a VA agency.
▶︎ VA Foundry. Best virtual assistant program specifically for Australians and New Zealanders.
▶︎ Work from Home as a VA. Introductory VA course for extremely tight budgets (just enough to get feet wet).
Some courses also close enrollment for most of the year, but I’ll share a trick I discovered to skip the waitlist and join whenever you want.
Is virtual assistant training necessary?
Nope!
But it could save you a heck of a lot of time.
Nowadays you can figure out pretty much anything online through experimentation and trial and error.
The trick is wading through the crap and hoping you’re following a path that actually works.
When you invest in a course with proven results, you cut down your learning curve, avoid mistakes, and start earning faster. This is especially true if you have limited experience working online.
Remember, there are two parts to becoming a virtual assistant:
1️⃣ Learning the skills you need for the service you offer
2️⃣ Learning how to run your own business and actually finding work
If you’ve already mastered the skill you’re going to offer, you’re halfway there. But having fancy skills won’t do you much good if your business has virtual tumbleweeds rolling across the streets.
Learning how to run your own business is an integral part of the success of your VA business, and your income.
To determine the best virtual assistant course for you (or if you need one at all), keep these two parts in mind. Some courses focus on both VA skills and the business aspect, while others just laser in on the business side of things.
The best virtual assistant courses in 2024
1. The SavvySystem
The SavvySystem is hands down one of the best virtual assistant courses on the market.
It’s even been featured in NBC News, Boss Mom, Teachable, and many others.
The SavvySystem — run by Abbey Ashley — has a ton of information packed into one course.
It starts from the ground up, and it includes every step you’ll go through as a VA business owner — even all the way to hiring and building your own team of VAs (if that’s something you’re interested in).
You also get lifetime access to their community and coaching, making the SavvySystem the most comprehensive training on the market, no matter where you are in your VA journey.
The SavvySystem FREE Virtual Assistant Training for Beginners
The SavvySystem is a big commitment, no doubt. If you’re on the fence, try their free Become a Booked Out Virtual Assistant training.
The SavvySystem Lesson Content
When you join the SavvySystem, you’ll learn about:
☑️ Launching your VA business
☑️ Whether or not to niche down
☑️ Which services to offer and how to price them
☑️ How to get clients
☑️ Branding yourself (logo, business name, etc.)
☑️ The legal side of running your own business (taxes, EIN, insurance, etc.)
☑️ Working with an efficient process
☑️ Marketing yourself (including an in-depth marketing plan)
☑️ Everything from starting your website to designing and managing it
☑️ Building your own team, and how to hire them

✔️ The VA Template Box
✔️ Monthly group accountability calls (plus other weekly live calls)
✔️ Proposal reviews (get personalized feedback before you send them to clients)

✔️ Lifetime access to SavvySystem mastermind community
PROS
✅ The most comprehensive course on the market.
✅ Best refund policy out of all courses (100% satisfaction, 30-day money-back guarantee).
✅ Tons of coaching and feedback opportunities from mentors.
✅ Lifetime access to the course, community, and coaching for a one-time payment (vs. other courses that charge a monthly or annual membership).
CONS
❌ Price. But keep in mind you have lifetime access to the course materials AND community. Many other courses require an ongoing paid membership to maintain access to all material. So even though the base price of other courses may be cheaper, you could spend more over the long run.
Price: There are 3 tiers:
1️⃣ SavvySystem Lite ($997 or $97 payment plan): Course material without support, DIY approach.
2️⃣ SavvySystem Pro ($1497 or $147 payment plan): Course material plus lifetime access to the community, personalized business coaching, job opportunities, and other cool stuff.
3️⃣ SavvySystem Ultimate ($2997 or $297 payment plan): Everything in Pro, plus lifetime access to the SavvyVault, which includes 80+ advanced trainings to master higher-paying VA skills (If you don’t need lifetime access, you can save money by choosing the Pro option and just buying 1-month access of the SavvyVault).
(Note: If enrollment is closed, you can get in the “backdoor” by taking her free course first)
See my full Virtual Savvy review for an inside look into the course.
2. 90 Day VA
90 Day VA is a VA course by Esther Inman — it’s the best alternative to the SavvySystem if you’re on a tighter budget but still want comprehensive training.
It’s designed to give you everything you need to start landing clients within 90 days or less.
This includes how to launch your business, choose which services to offer, how to market yourself, and all that jazz.
What makes 90 Day VA unique is that the course spends a lot of time on how to use social media to scale your business. These are strategies you don’t see in some other courses.
90 Day VA is great for current or aspiring VAs who want to launch and scale their business within the next three months. Especially if you want to boost your online presence through social media.
It includes all the material you need to build both your business and your skills, making it a well-rounded training program.
That said, the main course focuses on using skills you already have to start earning money as fast as possible.
If you’d like more advanced specialization after that, she just opened the “skills shop” which lets you pick and choose which skills you want to specialize in.
This setup prevents you from getting overwhelmed feeling like you have to learn ALL the skills. When in reality, you can make a good income by just specializing in one.
90 Day VA Free Virtual Assistant Course
90 Day VA also has a free training course to get your feet wet and learn how to become a VA that works from anywhere.
Note: Esther has another course called Tech VA in a Day that focuses specifically on training how to become a tech VA. Check out my full Tech VA in a Day review if you’re looking to specialize.
90 Day VA Lesson Content:
90 Day VA teaches a bunch of different high-value VA skills, including:
☑️ Content marketing
☑️ Blogging and copywriting
☑️ Social media management
☑️ Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest marketing and management
☑️ Podcast editing and management
☑️ Video editing
☑️ Email marketing
☑️ Lite web management
☑️ Executive assistant
☑️ Mastering soft skills
☑️ Networking and finding jobs
☑️ Pricing your services
☑️ Legalities – taxes, insurance, etc.
As mentioned, new content is added to the course regularly, so this list just keeps getting longer and longer. (Note that some of these advanced skill trainings are part of the Membership Vault, and you get temporary access to this Vault as a bonus to buying 90 Day VA).
And of course, you also get loads of bonuses like:
✔️ Templates and scripts
✔️ In-depth tips on using Instagram to get clients
✔️ Weekly Q&A calls + CoWorking sessions (first month included in price)
✔️ Monthly workshops with industry experts (first month included in price)
✔️ 40-60 monthly job postings for members of the community (first month included in price)
✔️ 30-day access to 90 Day VA private Facebook group
PROS
✅ Well-rounded; includes all aspects of running a VA business from the ground up.
✅ Specific training in high-demand social media platforms, including new TikTok & IG Reels VA service.
✅ Specialized skill training available in the Skill Shop once you’re ready – podcasts, video editing, copywriting, etc. (not included in main course).
✅ Longer initial access to the community, and an option to maintain it for an affordable price.
CONS
❌ Refund policy requires you to show your work (not sure if this is a fair con, because why would you buy if you’re not willing to do any work?).
Price: $997 (payment plans starting at $97) for the 90 Day VA course only.
This includes lifetime access to the course material and one-month access to the community, group calls, job board, membership vault trainings, etc.
You can also choose the Mentorship package for $1497 ($147/month), which includes the course plus one-on-one coaching and six months of community access, membership vault, job board, etc.
If you’d like to continue community membership, it costs $49 per month or $199 per year. After you get off the ground and land your first couple clients (which you could potentially do within a month), this membership isn’t necessary for most people.
(Note: If enrollment is closed, you can get in the “backdoor” by taking her free course first)
See my full 90 Day VA review for an inside look into the course.
3. Virtual Excellence Academy
Virtual Excellence Academy (VEA), created by Hannah Dixon, is the Goldilocks of VA training programs.
It’s not the most expensive. Not too basic. Just right.
After testing many of these programs, I’d say VEA offers the best bang for your buck (at least with the current $600 off the Legacy Edition).
VEA teaches covers all the topics you need to succeed as a virtual assistant and focuses on ways to create REAL and SUSTAINABLE income (meaning no Upwork or Fiverr!).
Even better, it teaches you how to have fun doing it. You probably don’t want to get sucked into snooze-worthy jobs with overbearing clients, all while feeling lonely behind your computer all day.
Hannah doesn’t want that either.
And to help you avoid it, she’s created an epic community called the Inner Circle, where you literally feel like a family.
You can get all your questions answered there (oftentimes by Hannah herself). But it’s more than that.
They also run weekly co-working sessions and other fun virtual activities you can join. You actually make friends with your fellow VAs. It might not seem like a big deal, but trust me — working remotely from your computer tends to turn you into a lonely hermit.
The Inner Circle solves that problem. And no matter which VEA package you buy, you get lifetime access to the community.
Note: VEA has a strong focus on inclusion and diversity. If this is a priority to you, read no further — VEA is the best fit.
VEA Free Virtual Assistant Challenge
Hannah offers two awesome freebies. First, is her free virtual assistant startup guide. Second, is her free 5-day Virtual Assistant Challenge — a LIVE challenge to help you jumpstart your VA career.
Virtual Excellence Academy Lesson Content:
VEA goes super deep on the business aspect of running a VA business, which is usually what trips new VAs up the most.
☑️ Workspace setup and optimization
☑️ Creating your business and identifying VA skills you already have
☑️ Building a slick portfolio
☑️ Relationship marketing tips to magnet clients
☑️ Mastering discovery calls
☑️ Onboarding clients like a pro
☑️ Pricing, invoices, and getting paid
☑️ Network like a boss
☑️ Content creation to market your biz
☑️ Tools for copywriting, graphic design, audio editing, and video editing
☑️ Graphic design for VAs
☑️ Upleveling your career with extra income streams
If you opt for the Legacy Edition — which seems to be the most popular option — you also get:
✔️ Get Clients Now Course
✔️ Rapid Breakthrough Therapy 21-Day Program
✔️ WordPress Beginners Kit
✔️ The Podcast VA Kit
✔️ Contracts Bundle
✔️ Twitter Mastery
✔️ Sales and Marketing Mastery Workshop
✔️ Niching Your Business Workshop
✔️ Facebook Network Bundle
✔️ Client Experience 101 Workshop
PROS
✅ Best bang for your buck. The “Goldilocks” course.
✅ Super fun, inclusive, and helpful community that will support you and make work a blast.
✅ Truly limits students, meaning more personalized attention for you.
✅ Legacy includes in-demand skill training like podcast management.
✅ Lifetime access to community, no ongoing fees.
CONS
❌ No refunds apart from extraordinary circumstances. When you join, you commit to becoming a VA.
❌ Not always open, so may need to join the waitlist (and no “backdoor” tricks to join early).
Price: $900 for Standard package; $1900 for Legacy Edition (currently discounted to $1300).
Both include lifetime access to the Inner Circle community, so no ongoing subscriptions needed.
(Note: If enrollment is closed, grab her free VA guide to join the waitlist.)

4. Fully Booked VA
Fully Booked VA is another one of the best virtual assistant training programs for anyone who can’t swing the more expensive SavvySystem.
The course teaches you how to run your business and find clients, plus training on six lucrative VA specializations.
She helps you figure out which one (or ones) to specialize in and includes in-depth training for each.
These skills courses are standalone courses you can buy individually, but you get access to them all with the FBVA Bundle.
Considering that other VA courses charge extra for specialized skill training, Fully Booked VA is pretty generous in this regard.
Fully Booked VA and 90 Day VA are similarly priced and make similar promises (90 days to VA freedom). Each course offers training on different VA skills, so to help you decide:
#1.) Choose the course that offers the skills you’re most interested in.
#2.) If you’re still unsure, sign up for the free courses for each program to see which teacher you like best (Here is the FBVA guide, and here is Esther’s free course).
Fully Booked VA Lesson Content
Fully Booked VA is a three-step course:
#1.) Start (The VA Foundations course)
#2.) Build (VA Foundations final exam and certification)
#3.) Scale (In-depth training in each of the six skills courses)
You can’t just blow throw this course without taking action. You must complete one step before unlocking the next.
The VA Foundations Course topics include:
☑️ Launching your business and crafting your plan
☑️ How to find clients
☑️ Maintaining client relationships
☑️ An efficient work process to work smarter, not harder
☑️ How to work with clients
☑️ Scaling your business and raising prices
☑️ Marketing yourself online through a website and social media
☑️ Legalities of running a VA business (including contract templates)
After you complete the course, you take the final exam to earn your Horkey HandBook Certification:
This unlocks the third and last part of the course.
The 6 skills courses for VAs:
✔️ Freelance Writing for VAs
✔️ Real Estate for VAs
✔️ Email Management for VAs
✔️ Social Media for VAs
✔️ Project Management for VAs
✔️ Virtual Assistant Agency
The course also comes with bonuses like 90 days access to:
- Members-only FBVA Facebook group community
- Weekly coaching session with Horkey’s head coach.
- Bi-weekly deep-dive trainings with specialization track coaches, guest experts, and the FBVA team.
- Consistent stream of VA job leads that are exclusive to FBVA students (many get first clients here).
PROS
✅ Super comprehensive VA course for the price – business training, general skills training, and niche skills training (something other courses sell separately).
✅ Most affordable “premium” course option (if you use our discount link below).
✅ Facebook community with personalized coaching and exclusive job opportunities (90 days).
✅ Lifetime guarantee (if you put in work and don’t earn back the cost of the course, you get a refund).
CONS
❌ Refund policy requires you to prove you took action and still did not get results. So no tire kickers, please!
Normal price: $997 (or $197 x 6 payment plan)
Discounted price: Project Untethered readers can get an extra $250 discount by signing up using this affiliate link and using the code FBVA250 at checkout.
You get lifetime access to the VA Foundations course materials and many of the bonuses, but the live support and client leads are for 90 days.
To maintain support and leads after 90 days, you can continue with a $30/month subscription, which many students say is well worth it.
That said, after testing out the community benefits for 90 days, you can decide for yourself if you’d like to continue.
(Remember to use FBVA250 at checkout to get the Project Untethered $250 discount)
See my full Fully Booked VA review for an inside look into the course.
5. $10K VA
$10K VA is another all-inclusive VA course that teaches you how to make up to $10K a month with your VA business.
Whether you’re spanking new or have been running a VA business for a while, $10K VA can help you take it to the next level.
The course starts with the basics, giving in-depth training on how to start a virtual assistant business, then how to scale it.
$10K VA creator, Kayla Sloan, teaches the exact process she uses to earn $10K per month. She’s broken it down into a science.
Kayla’s Free Virtual Assistant Training
If you’re on the fence, check out Kayla’s free 5 Steps to Become a Virtual Assistant mini-course.
$10K VA Lesson Content
$10K VA is as comprehensive as it gets, including topics like:

❌ Not as many recent testimonials.
Price: $497
6. VA Foundry (Launch in 30 Days)
VA Foundry is a little bit different from the other courses on this list.
Sam and Jo, the superstar creators of the program, designed this course specifically for aspiring virtual assistants from Australia and New Zealand.
So if you’re from one of those two countries, this course is tailor-made for you, and I recommend choosing it over the others.
If you’re not from those two countries, it can still be extremely helpful (as you’ll see). But there will be some knowledge gaps you’d have to fill in yourself.
VA Foundry actually has two programs — Launch in 30 Days and Scale It! Mastermind.
Launch in 30 Days is the course for beginners, while Scale It! Mastermind is for more established online service providers who want to scale.
Here, we’ll focus on Launch in 30 Days. (For more info on the mastermind, see my full VA Foundry Scale It Mastermind review).
Launch in 30 Days Lesson Content:
Launch in 30 Days is an in-depth course that covers everything you need to launch your business — from brand building, to mastering AI, to landing and onboarding clients, to legal stuff.
The topics are similar to other courses on this list, but the strategy is slightly different.
It’s much more personalized and hands-on, with multiple live calls per week.
They only allow a max of 30 students per cohort, so everyone gets much more personalized attention.
With this level of personalized help from experts, it’s pretty much impossible to get stuck.
That said, there’s a catch. Since this is a live cohort program, you have limited access to the course.
That means once you sign up, there’s no procrastinating. If you’re not ready to work, you’ll waste your money.
PROS
✅ Live help from not one, but TWO experts multiple times per week.
✅ Small cohorts mean more attention for you.
✅ Small groups also means a closer-knit bonding with your fellow VAs.
✅ If you’re an Aussie or Kiwi, this was designed specifically for you.
CONS
❌ Limited access to course material (could be a positive if it forces you to take action).
❌ If you’re from other countries, there will be some non-relevant information.
Price: $2,497 NZD (~$1,550 USD) or $920 NZD payment plan.
If you’re a self-learner, you can also opt for the DIY version of the course to sace money. This includes all the same training material, but no calls or community.
And whichever you choose, you can get 10% off by using the button below with code MITCH100.
See my full VA Foundry review for an inside look into Launch in 30 Days.
7. Work From Home as a VA
Work From Home as a VA is a top-rated Udemy course for beginner VAs.
If you aren’t quite sure if a VA business is for you just yet, or you just want to get a feel for what life is like working as a VA so you can get started, then this is a good starter course.
It covers the ins and outs of what a virtual assistant is and how to get started, but it doesn’t go into nearly as much detail as the other recommended courses.
Work from Home as a VA Lesson Content
This course includes topics like:
☑️ Are you cut out to be a VA?
☑️ Business policies for success
☑️ What to do before launching your business
☑️ How to successfully launch
☑️ How to set your rates
☑️ Creating day-to-day processes to run your business
PROS
✅ Affordable.
✅ Great for beginning VAs to get their feet wet, especially if you’re unsure whether or not VA life is for you.
CONS
❌ Not comprehensive at all — If you’re sure that you want to be a VA, you might want to put your money/time toward a more in-depth course that will teach you more.
Price: $50 (though it is almost always on sale for around $15-20)
8. The VA Handbook
The VA Handbook is a 12-week, go-at-your-own-pace VA course created by Joanne Munro. It focuses on beginners, but VAs early on their journey can also pick up plenty of tips to take their business to the next level.
The VA Handbook helps you determine which kind of VA you’re best suited for, then shows you exactly how to set up your business.
Joanne’s goal with this course is to help you launch your business utilizing the skills you already have (or that are easiest for you to learn).
Joanne’s free virtual assistant training
Joanne doesn’t offer a free “course”, per se. But her blog is jam-packed with useful free content and downloads for VAs.
The VA Handbook Lesson Content
The VA Handbook will teach you how to:
☑️ Choose your services and target clients
☑️ Manage your productivity
☑️ Identify lucrative niches and choose one for yourself
☑️ Market yourself and land work
☑️ Search for opportunities on LinkedIn
☑️ Create your brand and website
☑️ Set your prices
☑️ Manage the legal side of your business
The VA Handbook also includes lifetime access to their community called the VAI membership club. In this community, you’ll find job postings, Q&A sessions, a buddy-up scheme, book club, local meetups, and weekly personal feedback from Joanne herself.
PROS
✅ Lifetime access to the course and the community.
✅ Valuable extras and support.
✅ Comprehensive business training.
CONS
❌ No skill training. Joanne is vocal about how she helps you shape skills you already possess, rather than teaching you new ones.
Price: 649£ ($749 USD). Payment plans start at 217£ ($250 USD)
How to choose the best virtual assistant training program for YOU
Phew! That was a lot of info.
So which one to choose?
Well, choosing the best virtual assistant course for you comes down to:
- Where you’re at in your journey
- What you need to get out of the course
- What kind of VA you want to be
First, figure out what you’re looking for from a course. This is important. From there, pick whichever course best matches your needs (and budget).
To make your life easier, choose according to whichever phrase below describes you best:
- “I want the gold standard, most comprehensive course, even if it costs more.” ➡️ Choose The SavvySystem
- “I’m conscious of price, I want the best VA course that teaches niche specialization skills, and I like girly vibes.” ➡️ Choose 90 Day VA
- “I’m conscious of price, I want a course that includes niche specialization skills, and I prefer a diverse, all-inclusive community vibe rather than a girly vibe.” ➡️ Choose Virtual Excellence Academy
- “I have no money to invest and I just want a free VA training to get my feet wet.” ➡️ Work From Home as a VA or any of the free course options linked throughout this guide
In the end, you can’t go wrong. If you follow any of the best virtual assistant training programs on this list (and actually do the work), you’ll end with a successful VA business.
That said, I was most impressed with The SavvySystem, 90 Day VA, and Virtual Excellence Academy.
The SavvySystem is the most comprehensive and takes my #1 vote (if you can swing the price).
90 Day VA and Virtual Excellence Academy are tied for #2, and the decision comes down to which vibe you like best — because they are VERY different.
If you’re stuck between these two, just take the 90 Day VA free training and the VEA free training. Then choose whichever you resonate with best.
Both options will knock your socks off.
Finally, if you’re from Australia or New Zealand, the VIP Launch in 30 Days course is hands-down your best option since everything is tailored to your country (and the live help is crazy good).

But wait…what do virtual assistants even do?
A virtual assistant (VA) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like — they assist clients or businesses in a 100% remote capacity.
The exact job description of a virtual assistant is all over the board. Your VA duties vary based on what a client needs.
Administrative or general VAs used to pretty much rule the virtual assistant world. But nowadays, VAs can do pretty much anything. (Here are 275 services you could potentially offer!)
General and administrative virtual assistants are similar to the in-person assistants you’re familiar with — the ones you see in an office taking phone calls, making copies, scheduling appointments, and doing pretty much whatever clerical or administrative tasks the client they’re working for needs.
Except (you guessed it), they do it virtually.
Some general VA tasks might include:
▶️ Scheduling appointments, travel arrangements, and meetings
▶️ Taking and making phone calls
▶️ Customer service or support
▶️ Managing email accounts
▶️ Copywriting and editing
▶️ And more
However, many virtual assistants specialize in a certain skill set or industry.
Remember when I said those job descriptions are all over the board?
Here are just a few types of skills a VA can specialize in:
✅ Bookkeeping
✅ Web or graphic design
✅ Article/blog ghostwriting
✅ WordPress maintenance
✅ Social media management
✅ Podcast or YouTube video editing
✅ And an endless amount of other skills!
Sometimes the line blurs between a VA and a freelancer with a retainer agreement.
Most are self-employed, but it’s also to work as an employee for remote companies.
VAs can do several different jobs for one client, or they do one specific job for multiple clients.
As you can see, the VA job description is pretty flexible. So if it sounds up your alley, start with one of the free mini-courses mentioned above.
Mitch is your typical nomadic backpacker. Or at least, he was. But after stopping in Colombia to take “one week” of salsa lessons, his life took a sharp left turn. He met a cute Colombian girl in dance class, fell in love, and got married. Over half a decade has passed since he left his career to travel the world as a digital nomad, and he’s never looked back.
Nowadays, he’s the blogger behind Project Untethered — where he runs an awesome email newsletter and Youtube channel teaching adventure-craved wanderlusters how to escape the rat race, earn money from anywhere, and build an “untethered life”.
His advice has been featured in Forbes, USA Today, Yahoo, MSN, Reader’s Digest, Condé Nast Traveler, and more.
Mitch's Travel Recommendations:
Travel Planning Resources - Everything you need to plan your trip on one convenient page.
Going Cheap Flights Newsletter - Get flight deals from your airport up to 90% off sent straight to your inbox.
Safetywing Insurance - This cheap travel insurance has saved me over $15,000 in medical bills.
Booking.com - Book accommodation without adding your credit card (in case you need to cancel).
Trusted House Sitters - Take care of pets in exchange for free (sometimes luxury) accommodation.
Flexjobs - Find remote jobs without having to sift through crappy ones.
Skillshare - Free trial to take unlimited classes that teach digital nomad skills.
Wise - Send and receive money abroad cheaply (great for freelancers).
