Je me suis inscrite à cette formation pour comprendre comment démarrer en tant qu'assistante virtuelle, et globalement j'ai été agréablement surprise. Les modules sur la gestion des emails et des calendriers clients sont vraiment concrets et faciles à suivre. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la partie sur la rédaction d'un profil professionnel convaincant. Le seul bémol, c'est que la section sur la facturation aurait mérité un peu plus de détails. Dans l'ensemble ça reste une bonne base pour se lancer.

Llevaba meses queriendo trabajar desde casa pero no sabía por dónde empezar como asistente virtual. Este curso me dio una hoja de ruta clarísima, desde qué servicios ofrecer hasta cómo organizar la agenda de varios clientes. La parte de herramientas como Trello y la gestión de correos fue justo lo que necesitaba para sentirme profesional. También aprendí a fijar mis tarifas sin venderme barata, algo que me costaba mucho. Conseguí mi primera clienta apenas tres semanas después de terminarlo. Lo recomiendo de corazón a quien busque flexibilidad real.
고객 응대와 일정 관리 도구를 다루는 부분이 실무에 바로 쓸 수 있어서 정말 만족스러웠어요.
Gostei muito de como o curso explica ferramentas como Google Agenda e Slack de forma bem prática. Em poucas aulas já consegui organizar um portfólio simples para começar a buscar clientes.
Zapisałam się na ten kurs, żeby zrozumieć, jak w ogóle zacząć pracę jako wirtualna asystentka, i muszę przyznać, że materiał jest naprawdę dobrze poukładany. Lekcje o organizacji kalendarza i komunikacji z klientami są konkretne i od razu można je wdrożyć. Podobał mi się też fragment o ustalaniu stawek za usługi, bo wcześniej nie miałam pojęcia jak do tego podejść. Jedyny minus to trochę zbyt pobieżne omówienie narzędzi do fakturowania, chciałabym więcej przykładów. Poza tym polecam każdemu, kto myśli o pracy zdalnej.
بدأت هذا الكورس وأنا لا أملك أي فكرة عن كيفية العمل كمساعدة افتراضية، والآن أشعر بثقة كبيرة. الدروس تشرح بالتفصيل كيفية استخدام أدوات مثل جداول جوجل وتنظيم البريد الإلكتروني للعملاء. أعجبني كثيرًا الجزء الخاص بكتابة عرض خدمات احترافي لجذب أول عميل. الوتيرة مناسبة جدًا ولا تشعر بالملل أبدًا لأن كل درس مرتبط بتمرين عملي. أنصح به لأي شخص يريد بداية حقيقية في العمل عن بعد.
Solid overview of the tools and pricing strategies for VA work, though I wish the section on finding clients went a bit deeper.
Der Kurs hat mir genau die Werkzeuge gezeigt, die ich als virtuelle Assistentin brauche, von der Terminverwaltung bis zur Kundenkommunikation. Besonders die Tipps zum Festlegen der Stundensätze und zum Aufbau eines seriösen Profils haben mir geholfen, schnell durchzustarten.
Clear, practical, exactly what I needed.
The step-by-step modules on client communication and scheduling tools gave me everything I needed to land my first VA client within two weeks.
Good practical breakdown of remote admin tasks, though the audio quality dips a little in the later lessons.
Dahil sa course na ito, naiset up ko agad ang serbisyo ko bilang virtual assistant at may kliyente na ako ngayon.
Kinuha ko itong course dahil gusto kong subukan ang virtual assistant work, at sobrang laking tulong nito sa akin. Malinaw na malinaw ang paliwanag sa mga tool tulad ng Google Calendar at kung paano mag-set up ng propesyonal na email response. Natutuwa rin ako sa parte tungkol sa pag-price ng services, dahil dati wala akong idea kung magkano ang dapat singilin ko. Medyo mabilis lang ang bahagi tungkol sa paghahanap ng unang client, sana mas na-detalye pa. Pero overall, maganda talaga siyang panimulang gabay para sa mga baguhan.
Corso pratico, spiegazione chiarissima e utile.
I moduli su Trello e sulla gestione delle email sono chiarissimi, mi sono sentita pronta a candidarmi come assistente virtuale già dopo la seconda lezione.
