Hello VAF family! I am a newbie to the VA world and am wondering if receiving VA training through some of the of the websites I have visited is essential to your success. I have 15 years of administratative/secretarial work in addition to 10+ years in the food service industry. I am looking to cater to the hospitality industry, caterers, venues and all other aspects of the food service industry. I am wondering if my experience is sufficient enough or should I go for the training to be able to display the seal of completion given to me by the organization upon finishing the 20 week course.
