Online Courses
What is The Hub?
The Tomorrow’s VA Hub, affectionately known as ‘The Full Monty’, is the complete box set of my online courses.
All the training in Microsoft 365 applications in one place with LIFETIME access. Pay once and never pay another penny again.
You can pay in Pounds sterling, US Dollars or Australian Dollars. The Hub gives you a 40 percent saving compared to buying the courses one by one.
Do you do any discounts or bundle deals?
There are usually no discounts with my individual online courses as they already represent great value for money. Sometimes, there may be a launch promotion price with a new course.
The HUB of course is a great bundle deal as it includes all of my courses (including any new ones) and gives you a 40% reduction on buying them individually.
Can I pay in a different currency?
Yes. You can choose to pay for your course in pounds sterling, US dollars or Australian dollars for tomorrow’s VA and for Essential Office on the MSOfficeMaestro site, you can choose your currency at the checkout.
How much are your online courses?
My online course prices start from £147 for tomorrow’s VA and the individual Essential Office Courses are all priced at £395 – they are created following a different structure and contain a lot of content.
What if I can’t decide which course is best for me?
Obviously, I want you to have the course (or courses) which will help you most. If, having explored my range of courses, you’re still unsure what to go for, let me help you. Simply book a free Discovery Call and we can talk it through.
Can I see a course before I buy it?
It’s not possible to view a whole course. However, if you want to get an idea of my training style, delivery and pacing you will find ‘Preview’ videos on some of the course pages. An example can be found here.
You’re also welcome to book a free Discovery Call to discuss courses before you decide to go ahead.
What are your courses like for me, the learner?
Each course comprises a series of short step-by-step videos. You see what I see on the screen as I go through each task. Every mouse move, every click. It’s like having a trainer right by your side as you work through the stages.
Clear instruction is matched by excellent sound quality. I take you through things at a good easy pace. You can pause or rewind any time, to take notes or embed the learning.
The courses are for your learning and enjoyment. I want you to learn loads and have fun.
When you get the course it’s yours. You use it the way that works best for you. You can follow the logical order of the course structure provided – or just jump into the bit you want to start with and go for it.
You can learn where you want, when you want. Return to the course or a specific video whenever you need a refresher.
There is also a community element to the training. With each course you can add comments or questions in the system. You can also ask to join our closed Facebook group.
Do you do courses for Mac?
Yes. My online courses have versions for Windows users and for Mac users. Simply select the right version of the course for your computer’s operating system.
What online courses do you offer?
My online courses cover you for applications in Microsoft 365, whether you use Windows or Mac. That means Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams.
The courses are task-based, designed to show you how to complete the most likely tasks a VA, EA or PA might be asked to do. Practical, step-by-step training with no waffle or padding.
