The full operator stack the market is hiring for.

Three core tools we teach in depth, three supporting tools you'll touch in client work. Master the stack and you're operating the same workflow US agencies are paying premium VAs to run.

The Shift

The job description for "VA" was rewritten in 2025. This is the training that catches you up.

The market split in two and almost nobody told the VAs working in it.

On one side: agencies and operators paying $15–$25/hour for VAs who can run AI workflows — Claude Cowork executing multi-step tasks, Perplexity producing sourced research briefs, Gamma drafting client-ready decks in minutes. They aren't asking for years of experience. They're asking if you can ship outcomes.

On the other side: the old job. Inbox triage, calendar coordination, manual research, data entry. The work that used to take four hours and now takes thirty minutes. The rate ceiling is dropping. Fast.

This program exists because there's no neutral ground.

You don't get to opt out of the shift. You either learn the toolkit and walk into the new tier, or you compete in the old tier with a market that's getting cheaper every quarter.

AR/VA·001 is the bridge. Three hours of live training, one practical assessment, one credential — designed so that the day after you complete it, you can walk into a client conversation as an AI-fluent operator and prove it.

"Can you handle my inbox?" became "Can you run my AI?" The VAs who answered yes are charging triple. — THE PREMISE OF AR/VA·001
The Difference

The same role, two completely different jobs.

A side-by-side of where the market actually is in 2026 — and why every month you wait costs you rate.

Curriculum · AR/VA·001

Six modules. One live cohort. From the foundations of how LLMs work to a working agentic toolkit you apply Monday morning.

TOTAL · 3HR 10MIN
FORMAT · LIVE / ZOOM
MOD01

Foundations: How LLMs actually work

The 80/20 of large language models — what a transformer is, why context length matters, why temperature changes outputs, and the short history from GPT-2 to today's agentic systems. The mental model that makes every other module click.

llm fundamentals transformers history
MOD02

Prompt frameworks that don't suck

Why most prompts fail and the three frameworks that consistently produce client-ready output — Role-Task-Format, CO-STAR, and the chain-of-thought pattern. Build a personal prompt library live, with examples for every recurring VA task you do.

prompt engineering frameworks prompt library
MOD03

Claude Cowork — agentic execution end-to-end

Anthropic's agentic AI for knowledge work. Set up Cowork on your desktop, connect it to Drive and Gmail, and run a real multi-step task live — inbox triage to summary brief to follow-up draft, hands-off. The single most valuable hour of the program.

MOD04

Perplexity for research-grade output

Sourced answers vs. hallucinated answers — when to use Perplexity over a chat model, how to structure research workflows for executive briefs, market scans, and competitive intel that holds up to a client's eye.

MOD05

Gamma for client-ready deliverables

Turn a one-paragraph brief into a polished deck or document in under five minutes. Brand voice, formatting, exports — the AI presentation tool that's quietly replacing PowerPoint workflows for AI-fluent operators.

MOD06

Putting it together: positioning + the rate jump

The daily workflow when Cowork handles 60% of execution. Profile rewrites, outreach scripts, the rate conversation. The 30/60/90-day plan to ship your first AR/VA-positioned client win and 2–3× your current hourly.

VERIFY ID AR/VA·001·A4F7B2

The credential designed to change the rate conversation.

  • 01Issued live the same day you complete the program — not a "self-paced certificate" people print at home.
  • 02Each cert carries a unique Verify ID tied to your enrollment. Prospective clients can verify it with us directly.
  • 03Designed for the way VAs actually use credentials — clean enough to ship on Upwork, LinkedIn, Onlinejobs.ph, in proposals, in cold pitches.
  • 04Cohort 01 is the inaugural cohort. The credential gets harder to earn as cohorts continue. First mover advantage is real.

Honest Read

Who this program is actually for.

We'd rather you read this and not enroll than enroll and not be a fit. Cohort 01 is intentionally small — every seat is a real one.

ENROLL IF YOU ARE
Ready to be an AR/VA Operator
  • A working VA who has felt the rate pressure and wants to step up the tier
  • An aspiring VA with admin or executive support background, ready to enter the market AI-fluent
  • Comfortable on a laptop and willing to learn Claude Cowork, Perplexity, and Gamma in three hours
  • Available to attend the full live session on May 23, 2026
  • Ready to do the work after — rewrite your profile, change your rate, ship the new pitch
DON'T ENROLL IF YOU ARE
Looking for something we don't sell
  • Looking for a get-rich-quick scheme or a guaranteed-job pipeline — there isn't one
  • Unable to attend live on May 23. There's no recording, no replay, no makeup session
  • Wanting a passive, watch-on-2x-speed video course. This is a live working session
  • Not willing to use the toolkit after — buying the credential alone changes nothing
  • Expecting Cohort 01 to be a refund-friendly trial. All sales are final
FAQ

Everything you should know before enrolling.

FAQ.01 This is live-only. What if I can't attend on May 23? +
Cohort 01 is a one-time live event with no recording. Attendance is required to earn the credential. If May 23 doesn't work for you, future cohorts may be scheduled but aren't currently planned — and the founding-cohort price won't be offered again. Block the calendar before you enroll.
FAQ.02 Is the session being recorded? Can I get a replay? +
No. AR/VA·001 is intentionally live-only. The credential is built around the fact that you actually showed up, did the work, and earned it in real time. You'll keep lifetime access to all written materials, prompt libraries, and templates — but the live training itself is not recorded.
FAQ.03 What time will the live session run? I'm in the Philippines. +
Doors open at 6:00 PM PT — that's 9:00 AM PHT on Sunday. The full schedule is in the Run of Show above. The session is intentionally timed for the Sunday morning PHT window so you're not awake at 1am. You'll get the calendar invite the moment you enroll.
FAQ.04 Do I need to be a VA already to take this? +
The program is designed for working VAs and serious aspiring VAs with at least basic admin or executive support experience. You don't need any prior AI experience — Module 02 onward is built to take you from zero on the AI side to deployable in three hours.
FAQ.05 How does the verification work? +
Every credential is issued with a unique Verify ID tied to your enrollment record. Clients and agencies can confirm authenticity by emailing the ID to verify@agenticreadyva.com. No print-at-home self-issued certificates here.
FAQ.06 What's the refund policy? +
All sales are final. Cohort 01 has 100 seats — once you enroll, your seat is removed from inventory and cannot be resold. Don't enroll unless you can attend live on May 23, 2026.
FAQ.07 What tools do I need before the live session? +
A laptop or desktop (Cowork is desktop-only — works on Mac and Windows), stable internet, a Zoom-capable setup, and free accounts for Claude (a Pro plan is recommended for Cowork access), Perplexity, and Gamma. We'll send a complete setup checklist 48 hours before the live session so you're ready to roll.
FAQ.08 What payment methods do you accept? +
All major credit and debit cards, processed securely via Stripe. Philippine-issued cards are accepted.
