-the Virtual Assistant course both lecture and online in the San Diego area, have found that the layout of the chapters and the length of the book is ideal for a 16-18 week college semester.

after reading this book and completing the course. I will recommend this book without hesitation to any college or business school desiring to offer such a course, or to those of you who choose to purchase the book and learn the virtual assistant business on your own. --Tom Smerk, College Instructor

Another import reason for selecting this text for my classes is that there is an accompanying workbook available where the student answers questions and records their thoughts and notes about the content of each chapter.
My final decision for choosing this book for my classes was based on Internet research which produced some glowing accolades about both authors of the book. 

  When I designed a college course of Virtual Assistant training almost 4 years ago, I looked at many books that were available at the time in consideration for selecting a text for my new course.

 I chose "Virtual Assistant - The Series" by Kelly Poelker & Diana Ennen for several important reasons. 
First of all, the contents covered topics often overlooked by other books, 
such as deciding if you are right for this sort of self-employment, 
creating a disaster plan to avoid interrupted services,
 and juggling the demands of home life and career under the same roof. 

 the VA Industry at the end of each chapter and featured throughout the book. This approach is very useful in validating what was learned in each chapter. If you are wondering what a virtual assistant does 
or if you are interested in starting, 
owning, and operating your own VA business, 
this book is for you. 

With sections on getting started, 
planning, and operating a business, 
establishing a website, 
marketing, and service suggestions, 

this VA guide covers every subject that would be important to someone in the VA field. It even includes comments and opinions from many different assistants at the end of each section.
