More tutorials won’t fix a lack of implementation.

You can know what a CRM is, watch an automation demo, and save a hundred proposal templates—and still freeze when a real client asks, “Can you build this for me?”

The gap isn’t information. It’s guided practice, proof of work, feedback and a repeatable way to find opportunities.

BEFORE

“I’m still learning.”

Random tutorials. No clear portfolio. Generic applications. Waiting to feel ready.

AFTER

“Here’s what I built.”

Practical systems. Visible proof. Stronger positioning. Daily client-getting action.

One simple loop.
Repeated until it becomes a career.

Each week is designed to move you from understanding to execution. No binge-learning required. Your assignments are the bridge.

Ivy Joy Calmares, founder of IvyLinked UniversityENGINEER → VA → INTEGRATOR

I’m Ivy.
Tech is my game.

A licensed Electronics Engineer turned Virtual Business Integrator, with 8+ years in the online world and 7+ years in corporate tech.

I’ve worked across e-commerce, real estate, administration, lead generation, social media, email marketing and business systems. I know what it feels like to translate technical ability into client-ready value—because I made that transition myself.

My goal isn’t to make you dependent on another course. It’s to help you build the confidence, proof and daily discipline to pursue high-value work.

This is for the doers.

YOU’RE A FIT IF…

  • You want to start or strengthen your VA career
  • You can commit time each week for assignments
  • You want practical tech and systems skills
  • You are willing to apply and do outreach consistently
  • You value honest feedback more than empty motivation

NOT A FIT IF…

  • You only want a certificate without completing the work
  • You expect clients to appear without applications or outreach
  • You are looking for a passive, watch-only course
  • You are unwilling to practise outside the live session

One evening a week.
A completely different skill set.

STARTS30JULY 2026
DAYEvery Thursday
TIME6:30 PM PH time
LENGTH1–2 hours live
FORMAT10 weekly sessions

The weekly pace gives you room to complete the assignment, ask better questions and build real confidence before the next session.

Before you
say yes.

01I’m a complete beginner. Can I join?+

Yes. The programme starts with the foundations, then moves into practical systems, automation, lead generation and client acquisition. You do not need a tech degree—you need the willingness to practise.

02Why is it only once a week?+

Because skills need implementation time. Each 1–2 hour live session gives you a focused lesson, then you have the week to complete the assignment before moving on.

03Will recordings be available?+

Yes. Session recordings are included so you can review the demonstrations and catch up when needed.

04Is getting a client guaranteed?+

No ethical training can promise a client without your effort. What you do get is a structured 30-day challenge, feedback on your profiles and applications, and continued coaching designed to help you move from learning to real client conversations.

05Do I receive a certificate?+

Yes. Complete the required sessions, quizzes and assignments to earn your Certified Virtual Assistant certificate.

06What happens after the ten sessions?+

You continue applying the client-getting system: improving your profiles, sending targeted applications and outreach, and using feedback to get closer to your first or next client.
