AAVIP Quality Accredited Virtual Business Program
“Quality is the best business plan.” ~John Lasseter
For Virtual Industry Professionals and Virtual Business Owners to demonstrate their commitment to running a proven quality business that results in a high quality level of client services.
The Quality Accredited Virtual Business Program was developed as part of a wide consultation process within the industry. Representatives from all areas of the industry were included in the consultation process. The Quality Accredited Virtual Business Program helps the Association meet its objects of promoting ongoing professional development and setting quality benchmark standards for the industry.
While there are other accreditation programs available these are linked directly to the person. This is the first program of its kind worldwide that links quality to your virtual business practices. If you sell or remove yourself from the business the quality accredited virtual business program will still apply to the business.
