Just what is a Master Virtual Assistant (MVA), and what does this mean to the industry?

An MVA is a PVA that has risen above the crowd. They have the experience and know-how to become mentors and coaches for Virtual Assistants and Professional Virtual Assistants (PVAs).

By holding the designation of MVA, other VAs know they can trust the opinion of these individuals because they have been through the growing process. They have built a Virtual Assistant practice and achieved success in their chosen field.

The standards are much higher for becoming an MVA than a PVA.

The MVA must accumulate a minimum of 400 points on the VACertification.com point system. This means that they must have at least 200 points awarded to them for experience alone. (Ellen's Score: 1590!)

Not everyone can achieve the designation of MVA. You must have a great deal of verifiable experience to obtain this designation.

This designation places you at the very top of the Virtual Assistant Industry.
