I am grateful to VAA Global for practical, hands-on training that bridges the gap between learning and real-world healthcare administration."
"Without any experience. And I'm still actually in training. I got this offer. All major props to Mr. David — he in his own way held my hands through the process up until I got the job. Even my acceptance mail he drafted for me. Thank you VAA GLOBAL, especially the CEO."

"I now handle inbox management, customer support tickets, and admin coordination for a US e-commerce brand — all from Lagos. The dual skill set makes me more valuable than a single-track hire."
"The press release writing, crisis communication, and media relations modules are things I use weekly. My organisation's external communication has transformed since I joined."

"I pitched my first content retainer using the proposal format from the course. One client became five. I now earn more freelancing than I did in my last full-time job — and I set my own hours. Everything started with VAA Global."

"The capstone project I built during the programme became my portfolio. I submitted it directly to the hiring manager as part of my application. She said it was more thorough than submissions from candidates with three years of PM experience."
"I landed a remote PM role with a consultancy in the UK. The Agile and Scrum modules were directly relevant — my team uses Scrum daily and I was not starting from scratch. I knew the vocabulary, the ceremonies, and the tools from week one."
"I applied for a Business Development Representative role at a US SaaS company and got it. The outbound prospecting, CRM, and objection handling modules were exactly what the role required. I was doing live calls within my first week on the job."

The experience was transformative and I feel confident and equipped to take on new challenges."

"My role covers both VA and CS work — scheduling, admin, and customer onboarding. The combo programme prepared me for exactly that. My employer said I was the most well-rounded candidate they interviewed."
"VAA Global was exceptionally thorough in delivering its curriculum. The instructors Morenikeji and Mr. Tosin were outstanding — demonstrating remarkable brilliance and a genuine interest in our growth. I have no regrets about investing in this course."
"I was hired by a PR agency before I even finished sending applications. The portfolio of press materials, communication strategies, and media pitches I built during the programme made my application stand out immediately."

"I used to think Product Management was only for engineers. VAA Global showed me it is about understanding the user and the business. I just needed the language and structure. The programme gave me both."

"I had no experience in either VA or customer service when I enrolled. The combo track gave me both in one programme. Within three weeks of graduating, VAA Global Talent had placed me in a verified remote role."
"VAA Global taught me how to craft a narrative, not just distribute a press release. That distinction matters enormously in my current role leading brand communications for a consumer goods company."

"I went from zero project management knowledge to running sprint ceremonies for a 12-person engineering team. The programme covered Agile deeply and practically. My team did not believe I had only been in the role eight weeks."
"Six months before VAA Global I was selling with no strategy. Six months after, I was managing key accounts and pitching to enterprise clients. The mindset shift alone was worth ten times what I paid for the programme."
"I submitted a portfolio project I built during the course as my work sample. The hiring manager said it was the cleanest visualisation she had seen from a junior candidate. I was offered the role the same day."

"I went from a frontline agent with no formal training to a CX Manager overseeing a team of five. VAA Global reframed how I understood customer relationships — not as problem solving, but as relationship building. That shift changed how I work entirely."

The SOP development and process optimisation modules gave me the tools to redesign three internal workflows that saved my company hours per week.

"The user research modules were incredibly rigorous — surveys, interviews, usability testing, affinity mapping. By the time I applied for roles, I had done all of these in real exercises. My portfolio spoke for itself."
"My employer initially posted for a VA but added customer support duties after seeing my combo background. I now handle both tracks in one role and earn significantly more than a single-track VA."

"From the insightful lectures to the swift responses and unlimited access to job sites, registering with VAA Global is a game changer and totally worth it."
"I had two interviews before VAA Global that went nowhere because I could not speak to pipeline strategy or CRM hygiene with any confidence. After the programme, I had my third interview and got an offer the same week. The preparation was that different."
"I now build dashboards that the MD and CFO review weekly. The Power BI and SQL training from VAA Global was exactly what this role needed. My line manager said he has never seen a junior analyst contribute at this level so quickly."

"Taking the combo track was the best decision I made. I was placed with a Canadian startup that needed someone who could do admin AND handle customer emails. I do both — and I earn in Canadian dollars. I could not have gotten this role with just one skill."
"This is the best live class I have ever attended. The way knowledge is transmitted is so understandable. Thank you VAA Global for being a medium of knowledge and information."
"I now pitch to UK journalists and manage coverage calendars for a London PR firm — from Kano. The media pitching and editorial calendar modules were so practical that I was already doing the job before I even applied. I got the role in under two weeks of applying."
"I applied for a remote SEO role with a Canadian agency with zero prior experience. The SEO module was so thorough that my technical audit during the interview impressed the whole team. I was their first Nigerian hire."
"Learning medical terminology, HIPAA, and insurance verification in a structured, hands-on way made all the difference. My employer said I was better prepared than candidates with years of experience."

"I now manage schedules, correspondence, and document preparation for a UK solicitor. Before VAA Global I did not even know a job like this existed. Now I earn in pounds from my spare bedroom in Enugu."
"I landed a fully remote data analyst role with a US-based retail company. The structured approach to real datasets during the course meant that when I sat down on my first day of work, I was not starting from zero — I was starting from experience."
"At the end of the training, I should be good at the skills the Academy has outlined, and provide value in my workspace and new company while earning the certificate."
