Looking for online virtual assistant training in the Philippines? SOVA’s own training center is being built in Iligan City, and while construction is underway, Coach Kathy is now accepting students for 1-on-1 virtual assistant training.
If you have been waiting for our next batch, or you live too far from Iligan to attend in person, this is a way to start now. This online VA course follows the same curriculum our Iligan students take, taught one-on-one and scheduled around your life.
Why We’re Offering 1-on-1 Online VA Training Now
SOVA’s face-to-face batches are paused while our new training center in Iligan City is under construction. There are no upcoming group batches at the moment. We’ll announce new ones here on SOVA.ph once the center opens.
In the meantime, Coach Kathy is taking a limited number of private online students, so you don’t have to wait for the center to open to get started.

Group Bootcamp vs. 1-on-1 Online VA Training: What’s Different?
Coach Kathy’s most recent group bootcamp ran for 4 Saturdays at 3 hours a day, which adds up to 12 hours of training. The 1-on-1 course is also 12 hours, but every one of those hours is yours:
- You set the schedule. Sessions are arranged around your work, school or family, instead of a fixed Saturday slot.
- You can join from anywhere in the Philippines. All you need is a laptop and a stable internet connection, whether you’re in Iligan, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, Bukidnon or somewhere else.
- The lessons focus on your goals. You can spend more time on what you find hard and on the niche you want to pursue.
- You get Coach Kathy’s full attention. Ask your questions and get feedback on your own work during every session.

What Coach Kathy’s Students Say
Here is what Jasmin Barros wrote in a 5-star Google review after taking Coach Kathy’s face-to-face bootcamp in April 2026:
“I am so delighted and thankful to have taken the AI-Powered Virtual Assistant program with Coach Kathy last April 2026. As a total newbie to the industry, I was initially worried, but the process was not overwhelming at all. Coach Kathy is the absolute best at what she does — her guidance and hands-on teaching style made learning VA concepts and tools easy to grasp. I highly recommend the School of Virtual Assistance to anyone looking to start their remote career!”
