I loved this course! It provided a lot of useful information for someone new to the VA field. I’ve never worked as a VA before, but I came away with a much better understanding of the role, expectations, tools, and professional habits involved. I actually watched the course a second time so I could take more detailed notes, and I picked up on several things I had missed the first time. Overall, it was a very helpful introduction and made me feel better prepared to continue developing my skills as a VA.
