Frequently Asked Questions

Can you explain more about the exam?

Completing the exam and obtaining a pass score of more than 170/200 is a requirement to earn the Personal Assistant Certification. The exam is completed online in your own time. If you do not obtain a pass score on your first attempt, we will give you feedback and allow you one retry. The exam is open-book, meaning you can refer to the course content while you are taking the exam.

There is a mixture of multichoice questions and short written answers.

Is this course 100% online?

Yes, we have no physical location and therefore there are no in-person requirements.

Do I earn a certification upon completion of this course?

What is the refund or cancellation policy if I am unable to complete the course or change my mind?

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

We also make use of virtual assistants (from the Virtual Assistant Institute) to help manage customer service and administration.
