From the Founder
"I genuinely believe this is the most exciting time to be a VA. AI isn't the threat — sitting on the sidelines is. The Academy exists for the VAs who are ready to rise.”

Here's what goes on inside the AcademyMember StoriesConfidence. Community.
Real results.
VAs inside the Academy aren't just learning about AI — they're using it with clients, raising their rates, and building businesses they're proud of.
“
I'd dabbled with AI before, but most tutorials felt overwhelming and overly techy. The team breaks it down so simply that I come away feeling confident about using AI — not only with my clients but in my own business too.
“
I don't get a lot of interaction throughout the week. With The Modern VA, I have a community where I can ask 'have you tried this?' and get real answers from people in exactly the same situation as me.
“
I came away feeling confident about using AI safely, effectively and with real curiosity. The bi-weekly co-working sessions are a highlight — a brilliant space to experiment hands-on and tap into the group's collective knowledge.
