“I finished the VA Fundamentals course in one weekend and landed my first Australian client 3 weeks later. The section on pricing was a game-changer — I was about to charge way too little!”
“The Ecommerce VA course taught me Shopify from scratch. I now manage 3 Shopify stores for clients in the US. The step-by-step videos made it so easy to follow even without any background.”
“I was a call center agent for 5 years and wanted to work from home. The Customer Support course helped me transition to remote work. Now I earn more and spend more time with my family.”

Why Forfos Built This
Forfos is an ecommerce operations agency that has been hiring and working with Filipino VAs for years. We know exactly what skills international clients want — and we built this academy to teach them for free.
We got tired of seeing talented Filipinos undercharge, get scammed by fake job posts, or miss out on great opportunities because they didn't know where to start. VA Academy is our answer to that.
