# VA International > Structured, practical virtual-assistant training that makes you job-ready, plus a jobs platform where employers hire graduates directly. No agencies, no middlemen, no placement fees. Founded 2019 as a serious institution, not a course mill. VA International trains people to become genuinely capable virtual assistants, and connects them with the employers who need them. We combine professional training with a jobs platform, because a certificate alone doesn't pay rent. We are based in the Netherlands and work as an online team of professionals from different fields. That mix is deliberate. The people who write the courses have done the work themselves. Practical training built by people who hire VAs. Learn the work clients pay for, earn a certificate for every course, and keep lifetime access. VA Basics: The full path. Ten modules take you from what a VA does to a priced offer, a portfolio and a real client pipeline. VA Skills: Five standalone skill modules. Each is built around a real client scenario, so you practise the work instead of watching it. Current course packages and pricing (one-time purchases; optional fixed instalments via Stripe; prices in EUR excl. tax). See /#packages for the current list. The jobs platform included with every package. VAs publish a profile employers can find, browse real remote VA roles, and message employers directly without agencies or placement fees. General inquiries, no obligation, no sales call. Email support@virtualassistantinternational.com.
