Hands down the best investment I have made for my business. Despite being a bit of a digital creator now I I hands down believe Amanda's Mastery Course has been and still is the best resourse I have for my business. And, love, love, love her no-fluff approach, which I personally find so refreshing. From having this roadmap via the course and being able to refer back with fresh eyes to various modules gave me a solid start and foundation to build my business on. Things are going well nearly 5 years in and I hands down know it is because I was set up for success. Feeling very grateful I can't believe how different my life is now, and it all started with a nervous phone call to Amanda. Ever greatful. In an online world with lots of shiney things, I can honestly say you will not regret the value received, support and community you find with Amanda.

Thank you for this awesome testimonial, I love that 5 years down the line the things you put into place are still serving you and that you know your "VA Business Bible" is just that a tool to support your VA business whichever direction it goes.

I knew I needed guidance to take my business to the next level but what I didn't expect during my Power Hour with Amanda was how many 'lightbulb' moments I was going to have - and there were many. Amanda gave honest feedback, a structured pathway, achievable goals and most importantly was warm and friendly enough that I could confide my fears. I will certainly be having another Power Hour with Amanda if not only to share the successes achieved from her advice!!

I love that you got "lightbulb" moments during our call together, for me these sessions are about brainstorming brilliance, to bounce ideas around, that accountability piece and and to receive guidance. I cannot wait to hear how you got on.

I have just completed the VACT VA momentum course, this comprehensive programme has provided me with invaluable skills and knowledge to excel as a professional virtual assistant. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Amanda Johnson for her support, guidance, and incredible mentorship throughout this journey. Amanda's extensive expertise and passion for the industry have been instrumental in raising the professional standards within the virtual assistant sector. The VA Momentum Course has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the virtual assistant role, client management, productivity tools, and best practices for delivering exceptional service. Amanda has created such an amazing community, fostering the development of highly skilled virtual professionals.

Amanda has created an excellent resource for VA's. I had reached the point in my journey where I am past being new and was unsure what I needed to do next. The training, guides and resources available have been invaluable and helped me gain clarity on my next steps.

I can't believe how much value Amanda has provided through the VA Momentum Course. I have now launched my VA business and am actively looking for clients. My favourite part about this was Amanda's feedback after completing every module, with a guaranteed invaluable response where her expertise and experience really showed. She really cares about you and your business, so I would recommend her to anyone looking for a personal approach in launching their VA business!

Amanda is brilliant. Knowledgeable, supportive, understanding, a listener, quick thinker, comes up with great ideas, direct (which is good!) and responsive. I highly recommend her as a mentor.

Oh wow Lizzie, this has really made me smile. I absolutely love what I do and cannot wait to see where you take your business. So exciting to see what develops out of the ideas we discussed today.

I booked a power hour with Amanda because I felt stuck on what to do next to improve my business and I knew Amanda would help me work out a plan that worked best for my circumstances. Having Amanda as a mentor works for me because she takes the time to consider the advice she gives to the individual she is talking to, there is no one size fits all advice and I never worry about being honest about struggling because she doesn't judge. She always has the right balance between a kick up the bum and a supportive shoulder when needed.
Reply from VA Training Academy 2024.04.22
Oh wow - thank you Hazel. I love how you have identified that I try to make it personal to the individual and not a one size fits all cookie approach. Every VA is different and every VA business is different.

I just had a Power Hour with Amanda and it was nothing short of amazing. Amanda completely clarified and untangled all my ideas and steered me in the right direction with her wisdom and expertise. I am going to book in periodically whenever I need direction and guidance. It was definitely money well spent! Many thanks Amanda! You're a legend for a reason!

I graduated from Amanda's VA Mastery course and would recommend it to anyone looking to launch their own business as a Virtual Assistant. Each module focuses on different aspects of setting up the business from the fundamental why you are doing this to taking on your team as your business expands and Amanda gives you feedback and suggestions at each stage. I have worked as a PA and EA for many years but starting a business is totally different. There is also a wealth of information in the membership with training sessions and Q&As. Amanda tells you what you need to know, not necessarily what you want to hear, which is great when you get in your own way. Thank you for your support so far Amanda and I hope continuing into the future.

Sarah, thanks for the great review and for sharing your experience of my courses. I love how you have highlighted that I am not scared to share what someone needs to hear rather than just wants to hear. Thank you

Having just graduated from Amanda’s VA Mastery Course I can confidently say it was the best decision I made when setting up my business. Amanda’s no-nonsense, yet nurturing approach is perfect for those of us setting out who are new to the world of self-employment and unsure on how to go about running a business. Amanda has been instrumental in helping me move away from the ’employee’ mindset and I can already see a definite shift in how I think and approach my VA business. I can confidently say that that would not be the case had I not had the course, the Facebook group and all the associated support Amanda offers. And that’s before we even get to the practical tools included in the course! I would recommend Amanda to anyone thinking about becoming a VA – she’s amazing!

Helen, thank you for the awesome review - it's always been a pleasure to support you on your VA business journey. I love how you highlight it's not just the course though that adds value - it's all of the other things that come as part of being part of VACT. Thank you.

Amanda is an amazing support. Running your own business is daunting, but Amanda is always on hand to guide and answer any questions I have - it feels like I have a cheerleader and safety net, which is hugely comforting.
Reply from VA Training Academy 2024.02.10
Louise, thanks for the awesome review - it's been a pleasure to watch your business build and grow. I love how you identified the cheerleader function - this is something I say I am to my clients when they go through the VA Momentum Course - as we all need a cheerleader for success.

When I started out on my VA journey, I knew very little about it, but I found Amanda on Facebook and joined the VACT community. Honestly it’s the best thing I’ve done! After a friend recommended the mastery course, I went on to do the Kick start course, and now I’ve joined the membership too. VACT has helped me turn my dream in to a reality, with structure, and training, as well as opportunities to connect with other VA’s, and potential clients. If you’re looking for a community to support you in building something real, or need someone to guide you and keep you in check, speak to Amanda!
Reply from VA Training Academy 2024.02.10
Nicola, thank you for being part of the VACT community and for sharing how you got on with the various offerings we have - it means a lot to me. I love how you highlighted it's about building a real business - for me as you know, we have to build the foundations first to have that long and successful business. I cannot wait to see where you take yours.

I started my VA business back in 2014 and at the time it was difficult to know who to approach for advice and mentoring who was sincere and trustworthy and had proven experience. Amanda with the establishment of her Virtual Assistant Training Academy has created a go to place for any aspiring or growing Virtual Assistant with her no nonsense and honest approach. Thank you for the events, awards and general all round sound advice! Alison Matthews-VirtuAli Administrative Solutions

I love Amanda! My fledgling business has benefitted immensely from her wise words and not-so-gentle persuading. Amanda is honest, supportive and an overall lovely person to work with. The membership is teaming with useful webinars and activities to get set up in the VA world. I don't ever expect to leave Amanda's coaching group! Thanks Amanda, you're ace.
