Hello I know certain questions popped when you saw this thread I’m undergoing the software engineering program of ALX and I don’t intend to quit! This thread are for people who applied for virtual assistant. I will be updating this thread with information pertaining to alx virtual assistant program, Incase you want to pursue a career with a short learning duration. ALX Virtual Assistant Program is a two(2) month program, (8 weeks) that will equip you with the skills you need to become a virtual assistant, 40-50hrs a week and 10hrs a day or less. If you apply for the program, you will undergo four stages of test and if you pass, you will accepted on board. If you succeed in the program after 2months, you will be added to the “ROOM” for job opportunities and networking. Below, I will be sharing the brochure and curriculum for better understanding of the program.

This ALX virtual assistant program cost $750 but is being offered to Africans for free through several partners sponsorship. So don’t listen to anyone that tells you to pay certain amount of fees. I think this is the second batch but they already commenced the program today, so if you register now, you will be starting on August 15th.

Nice one, just keep up the momentum. you will literally bulldoze your way into the Tech Industry. Keep it up

After attending yesterday’s onboarding program, they spoke a lot about the role of a virtual assistant, the opportunities and the sponsors of the program (Master card). Some of the graduates from the virtual assistant program were present, they spoke about the program, the “ROOM” AND how some of them are currently handling 2-3 jobs, through the program, many learnt why recruiters don’t normally get back to get when they apply and how to apply for opportunities. The modes of learning in Virtual Assistant is through Canvas, Slack, Google suite (Word processor, Presentations, and Calendar). The Slack is a big community for sharing infos with your peers and mentors. Many things were said about the “ROOM” but will only be Access to those who graduate. So even if you finish your projects but you refuse to peer with your colleagues when necessary, you won’t graduate. A lot of events will be hosted with recruiters and mentors so it is highly suggested that you attend to avoid missing out on anything. Canvas is the platform to access your lectures and materials. A learning mode platform for virtual assistant.

The world is unfair. These online bootcamps sucks. They can’t train real programers. Although their grads easily get the jobs.

I applied for the virtual assistant program but lack of a laptop is holding me back. Would have loved to participate fully in it.

bennyflipy You can use your phone until you get a laptop

bennyflipy Yeah Might be difficult but not impossible

Today I received several emails pertaining joining Canvas, ALG community (Will soon explain what ALG is all about), I’m yet to receive the one for Slack which others have received. I Had to chose a time-zone while registering for canvas because Africans timezone differs. Canvas is the platform used to alx to lecture it’s students. Materials are provided on the dashboard with limited time. In today’s work session, they talked about two type of ALX virtual assistant students, the normal ones and honorary ones. The normal ones graduate with a certificate and proceeds for job opportunities. The honorary ones are provided opportunities and connected! To be along the honorary ones, you have to always do your projects on the first milestone. After the first milestone, your grade will decrease.

Thanks a million for this. Can we also have a course outline sort of for alx SE. At least for the first 4 weeks? I appreciate you effort and contributions.

Anonymous6o6

ajerimitan I already shared them, stroll up to see them.

ajerimitan

How long does it take for alx to respond within the 2 weeks time frame in general and realistic term speaking. Do they really wait till 2 weeks to send admission status?

bestbiz17

Thanks for this. As for the technical skills, can u kindly give us a breakdown how each skill is taught? Are we going to be using the tools simultaneously with the technical skills?

Anonymous6o6

bestbiz17 Yeah

Anonymous6o6

Dharmie02 Hmmm… I guess they must have their reasons. Meanwhile, we’re graduating on 12th of September.

bennyflipy You can use your phone. Put your Chrome in desktop view. Although, in the 7th week, you’ll need to use a laptop, however, you can use a Cybercafe for that. Don’t tell me you can’t afford that either.

bennyflipy

UyaiIncomparabl Since that’s a new date for the commencement of the new program, I’ll fix my laptop before then, I just need a new hard disk drive.

Anonymous6o6 Did you use the same email you used in registering for software engineer for virtual assistant?

Anonymous6o6

Been ages since I was here!

Since this week I didn’t open week 3 project until today, well I have a lot to do and read on but I’m happy because ALX slack community reached out to me to show they will be there for anyone struggling.

I don’t have much to say except that I have been learning a lot from this program. Before now, I was a crazy introvert (still one except I communicate more with people) and this has been thanks to alx! I look forward to learning more!

Anonymous6o6

ZingyRacy No but I know people who did.
