Grab the Canva Essentials Bootcamp & Boost your Biz with Google Mini Course to learn the essentials of 2 universally used programs - Canva & Google Workspace!
When starting as a Virtual Assistant there is no need to go out & learn a bunch of different programs and softwares (as tempting as it may be!), for a couple of reasons:
1. You never know what programs your clients will actually use.
There are SO many options out there, it would be impossible to learn them all.
I would hate to see you waste your time, money, energy and effort doing so only to sign your DREAM client ... who uses a program you didn't learn. Oh no!
2. Clients are going to want to train you on their business' procedures.
This means they will show you what you need to know about their programs anyway!
Their small business is their baaaaby - so they are going to want to show you exactly the way they like things done.
And since you will learn on the job you don't need to try to know everything before getting started!
BUT - there's (always) an exception to the rule.
In the Virtual Assistant industry - that exception is that there are 2 universally used programs (to help clients with their work but also to run your own VA biz) that are worth your time, money, energy and effort to learn.
Those programs are:
Canva is a graphic design tool that is often used by small businesses to create things like flyers, newsletters, social media graphics, worksheets, etc.
Google Workspace is the business suite in Google that includes Google mail, calendar, drive, sheets, docs, and meet.
These two products are so highly utilized by small business owners that being comfortable with the basics of how they operate will absolutely add to your preparedness as a Virtual Assistant.
As a former college professor I know that everyone learns differently.
So whether you learn from reading directions or seeing the steps take place in real time, we've got you covered.
Both the Canva Essentials Bootcamp & the Boost your Biz with Google mini course are laid out with a combination of written instruction, screenshots with highlighted sections, and narrated video instruction.

The value having these skills will add to your experience as a Virtual Assistant is immeasurable.
