Yes. You can add relevant certificates to your Virtual Assistant International profile.

Certificates can help strengthen your profile by showing employers which training courses you have completed and which skills you have developed.

## Why should I add certificates?

Your profile is your professional introduction to employers using Virtual Assistant International.

Adding certificates can provide additional information about your knowledge and professional development. This can be particularly useful if you are new to Virtual Assistant work and do not yet have much practical experience.

Certificates can help demonstrate:

* Training courses you have completed

* Skills you have developed

* Areas you have studied

* Your commitment to professional development

* Additional qualifications relevant to Virtual Assistant work

## Can I add Virtual Assistant International certificates?

Yes. If you earn certificates by completing eligible Virtual Assistant International training courses, you can add them to your profile where this option is available.

The certificates available to you depend on the package you have purchased and the training courses you complete.

## Can I add certificates from other training providers?

Yes. Relevant certificates from other training providers can also be added to your profile where supported.

We recommend only adding certificates that are accurate, genuine, and relevant to your professional profile.

## Do I need certificates to apply for jobs?

No. You do not need certificates to start using the platform or apply for available job opportunities.

Employers can consider many different factors when selecting a Virtual Assistant, including skills, experience, availability, training, and the requirements of the individual vacancy.

Certificates are an additional way to strengthen your profile, not a requirement for getting started.

## Build your profile as you develop your skills

You do not need to have every qualification before creating your profile.

You can start with the skills and experience you have today and continue adding certificates as you complete new training and develop professionally.

**Adding relevant certificates can help employers see the skills and knowledge you have developed throughout your Virtual Assistant career.**
