How to have a thriving Virtual Assistant business without ever feeling like you are on your own

I have subscribed to Freelance University for many years. First as a Virtual Assistant and then Online Business Manager. The variety of courses available have kept me ahead of industry changes and increased the value I can offer to clients. It really has been the best business investment I could make. In addition the wonderful community and support has been a godsend as a sole trader. There is always someone to help nut out a solution when you need a hand. Would not be without it.

FreeU is the place for YOU

Whether you’re a newcomer to freelancing or a seasoned pro looking to boost your confidence and refine your skills, Freelance University is the perfect place for you. I’ve been learning from Craig and Kelly since 2017, and I can confidently say that both my skill set and confidence have grown tremendously.

Each time I earn a certification and receive a badge, it gives me a sense of accomplishment and adds credibility to my business. The supportive community is always ready to help with questions or even mindset challenges. The courses are top-notch, and Craig is an outstanding instructor.

If you have any hesitations, set them aside and give Freelance University a try. They’re the most genuine and authentic team I’ve encountered in the online space, and I’m confident you won’t regret it!

Consistently helpful for many years

I've been a part of FreeU for many years, and it's revolutionized the way I run my freelance business. Before that, I knew nothing about contracts or business systems, and I lacked some of the skills needed to work with clients online.

Now the training and community have been there for me through different seasons of my business. As I get older and more experienced, my clients are starting to ask for consulting services, and sure enough, FreeU has added a Virtual Consultant Certification! When you join FreeU, you can rest assured they'll keep up with the industry so you have the courses you need and experienced people to lean on.

Look no further! Freelance University offers EVERYTHING you need!

I joined Freelance University after Craig conducted a workshop, "How to Lead When You're Not in Charge." I was a Virtual Assistant at the time. Little did I know that Freelance University is a gold mine! You can go at your own pace in learning new skills, and the courses and workshops are superb. Since the landscape of freelancing is ever-changing, Craig and Kelly are always ahead of the curve; they anticipate the changes coming ahead and UPDATE the courses and workshops.

Another great benefit of being part of Freelance University is the community of support you receive. It's very inclusive, encouraging, and they have additional experts to weigh in on specific niches. Craig and Kelly are also very responsive when you have questions or presented with a challenging situation.

Look no further! Freelance University is your ultimate one-stop, all-in-one place to learn EVERYTHING you need to have a thriving, successful business!

Freelance University Is My Go To For New Skills

Freelance University is where I go when I want to learn new skills, polish up on certain software, and get certifications as a freelancer. They always keep up to date on the latest technology and always answer any questions I may have. They even have a private student community which is also very helpful. I have been a part of this community for about 5 years now and it's worth every penny!
