How completion works

Certificates require real course completion.

The system asks you to work through the lesson, complete practical responses, pass lesson checks, and then pass a randomized final check.

01

Read and work through the lesson

Lesson progress includes active reading and reaching the content before completion unlocks.

02

Do the practical work

Exercises ask you to explain what you would do, what evidence you would use, and what you would escalate.

03

Pass the randomized final check

Course-specific questions are scored automatically, and question order changes between attempts. The answer key is not shown after a failed attempt.

04

Certificate issued automatically

No admin approval queue. Passing the course triggers completion and the verifiable credential.

Verified completion

A certificate you can actually verify.

Passing a course issues a credential with a public verification page. If you also use a Virtual Assistant candidate profile, completed training appears there automatically as supporting evidence for recruiters.

  • Public verification Each certificate has its own credential code and verification page.
  • Recruiter-visible evidence Completed training can appear inside your VA profile and recruiter candidate view.
  • Clear boundary Training completion is not employment history, professional experience, or hiring eligibility.

FAQ

What to know before you start.

Training is free, optional, mobile-friendly, and separate from the hiring system.

Is the training really free?

Yes. There is no course fee, certificate fee, paid training tier, or placement fee for Virtual Assistants.

Do I need to finish training to get hired?

No. Training is optional and does not control job access, shortlisting, recruiter approval, or the public talent directory.

How do I earn a certificate?

Complete the published lessons and their practical checkpoints, then pass the randomized final check. Passing courses issue a verified certificate automatically.

Does a training certificate prove work experience?

No. A certificate shows that you completed and passed the training. It does not verify employment history, professional experience, or hiring eligibility.

Why do I need an account?

Your account saves lesson progress, practical responses, final-check attempts, and certificates. A training account does not automatically create a candidate profile.

Will the training work on my phone?

Yes. Lessons are text-first and mobile-friendly, with practical work designed to avoid unnecessary video or large downloads.
