Hi,

I just got an email from them yesterday(which I'm sure most did, lol) updating on the progress of the first Social Marketing Specialist Training Program. I did see a tweet or two from VAClassroom(Craig Cannings) yesterday. Sorry, that probably isnt much help!

Thanks Kena, Its a little light relief you've seen some communcation from them, hopefully I'll get to hear from them soon. I was a little surprised because I know that they have been raving about their new course which they I think will be launched in the new year unless they've done so already.

I've always heard back from the right away. Maybe you should send another in case they didn't get the first one. Craig was tweeting yesterday so I know he's around.

Has anyone taken VA Classroom's Certified Internet Marketing VA course? I'm thinking about taking it as I think it there is a lot of good information to learn as internet marketing relates to any business. The cost is $197.00 and I'm hoping it is worth it. If so, what did you get out of it?

Thank you for your input!

I'm also interested in the answer! Please do tell what you think about it!

Thanks so much!

I'm about half way through the program and I would say if I stopped now, it's still a very good investment. The amount of information that you have access to is incredible. If you read through the outline, you'll get to see what will be covered and it's alot! Plus if you have any questions throughout (because it's self-paced), the forum is fabulous. I've posted questions and ALWAYS get a great response.

And Craig Cannings is a gem... I just finished his first Social Media Marketing Program before Christmas and it was amazing. He doesn't hold back with the amount of information that he shares!

Can't say enough great things about vaclassroom and Craig! I've learned alot!

Must agree with Janice. I took the Social Media Marketing course and would love to take the Internet Marketing, but need to save up a bit first. ABSOLUTELY worth every penny and more!

I just finished the course. It is worth every penny. I am going to go back and review the videos. Don't want to forget anything.

Having such responses from my great friends here at Virtual Assistant Forums means so much to me.

Love you all!!

anyone taking advantage of this? or is a member of this site? I am interested but not sure about the monthly committment. I did forum search but the posts were over a year old; so I am wondering what everyone thinks before I do anything.
Thx,

Hi Diana,

I'm in the same boat with you. I'm not sure about using it if the information isn't current.

Hi Diana,
I've not taken courses with VA Classroom but wanted to reply and let you know there are quite a few items here on the boards relative to Craig, the founder of VA Classroom:

A recent podcast interview he did:
[Podcast] Social Media and Internet Marketing for Your Business

An archived chat he did here at VAF:
Archived VAF Chat: 7 Social Media Skills YOUR Virtual Assistant Business Needs in 2009!

These will at least give you some insight into the person behind the program.
I'm sure others will chime in here with their experiences with VA Classroom as I know we have a large number of member VAs who have gone through it.
