SVA Listed Trainers Directory
In 2018, after having more complaints in a single year about VA trainers than we’d had in the preceding 10 years, the SVA decided to do something about it. We invited all UK VA trainers and industry ambassadors to take part in an open forum to discuss this issue, and came up with a number of things to tackle it. This was not a naming and shaming exercise, but a real effort to improve the standard of what was being offered.
Firstly, we created a best practice guide for the VA trainers. And secondly, we set up a directory listing for VA trainers who were able to comply with those guidelines. (Just like the scheme we run for Approved VAs).
And thirdly, we produced this guidebook on how to find a good virtual assistant trainer, coach or mentor to help new VAs find the right trainer.
