Is This You?

This programme is for
the right kind of person.

We don't take everyone. Not because we're exclusive for the sake of it, but because this programme works best for people who are ready to commit, ready to implement, and ready to take their business seriously.

  • You're already supporting online business owners as a VA or OBM and want to formalise and elevate your offering
  • You're ready to move away from charging by the hour and into retainer-based, results-driven work
  • You want a globally recognised credential behind your name
  • You're serious, self-directed, and ready to invest in the long game
This is for you if…
  • You have some experience supporting online businesses
  • You want to work at a strategic, operational level, not just task execution
  • You're ready to land clients who value expertise and pay accordingly
  • You want a team of Certified OBMs in your corner as you build
This may not be the right fit if…
  • You have no experience working in or with online businesses
  • You're looking for a purely passive, self-study-only experience with no community
  • You're not ready to show up and do the work required to land clients
