Researching and thinking about becoming a VA. Not yet qualifed to go on my own. I came across VOT Virtual Office Temps website. Was hoping someone could give me some input about them?? I really want to become certified w/ them but not sure if this means anything in the VA World. They also require that I buy and use these books to study: Professional Office Procedures 4th edition by Susan Cooperman and Virtual Assistant by Diana Ennen.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Tammy! Welcome to the forum. I hear you about the spoiled lifestyle and being the Boss. (That's me!)
I know nothing about VOT and I'm not sure which certification you are thinking about getting but I do know that Diana Ennen's books are highly regarded in the industry and that it is required reading at Red Deer College in Alberta, Canada. They have a VA course that you take on campus not online.
It's not necessary to have certification but it couldn't hurt. If you are strapped for cash then maybe you could just get Diana Ennen's book and read that first. Of course, I would first read all of the posts at this forum. It's free! That's just my 2 cents.
Good Luck Tammy!
