What is Open University?

This is our FREE vehicle to learn how we can earn money online as a Freelancer. 

• Open Accessibility - We don't require specific requirement or qualification. So all aspiring Bonafide Filipino Freelancers are welcome to attend, regardless of their educational background or work experience.

• Freedom of Time - Study whenever you want. However, for Masterclasses we will require you to attend the training and expect you to follow the meeting schedules the team has agreed upon.

• Freedom of Pace - Learners can study on their own pace and make their own decisions about their own learning path. Masterclasses are available for you to discover the tailor-fit way of learning structured especially for you. We believe that all of us are genius on our own way. We just need to discover the best way for us to learn and this is different for everyone. There is no one-size fits all kind of training. Learning is like a wedding gown or groom's suit. We can buy it anywhere but it is always beautiful to have a specialised, dedicated measurement and customised style of our own learning.

• Open Program - Create your own curriculum by checking the available resources inside the university. Use our Curriculum Tracker.

• Comprehensive Course Resources - All the courses inside this university may be PAID or FREE depending on the platform where the tutorial came from. On the BFF Blueprint, we included all these resources so you can have all of them in one PDF guide.

• Virtual Meet & Greet Party - We do video conference calls together with those people who are part of this community and willing to meet other people on a personal level. We do not like to impose that you should be part of this but we would love to speak to you if you are open to this.

Lala is conducting FREE training lessons every Monday 2PM on our official Work At home Geek Page.

All her recorded training sessions are found in that page. So you can watch and catch up if you missed any training sessions.

Please answer the Freelancer Assessment form first.

Here's how you can know if you are ready.

Fresh Starter  - If your answers are mostly  1, this means you have to learn the basic things  first. Like, knowing how to use online tools, work on your English Communication Skills and enough work/training experience to handle basic tasks of virtual assistant. We have Tools Familiarization Training you can access for free.

Skill Upgrade -  If your answers are mostly 2, this means you may already have the basic skills needed to become a virtual assistant/professional. However, you need to polish or upgrade your skills to be fully ready working with clients. Lala is a Social Media Manager so her focus is more on Social Media Marketing. So, that's where she can help you. If you need to upgrade other skills, you can go to other internationally recognized training platforms. See more details in this FB Post.

The greatest obstacle to our success is DISTRACTION.

Training yourself to become an expert (freelancer) is difficult because we have different roles and responsibilities in life.

We easily forget and we easily get overwhelm because of our "busy-ness".

That's why it's important to overcome our "daily battles" through the help of our community.

In the community, you will get to see daily updates of your fellow aspiring and experienced freelancers. 

Our success happens because we are building each other up. We are not special. We are just ordinary individuals doing our very best EVERY SINGLE DAY to learn and work for our clients.

Just like burning coals, we must be together to keep our fire blazing.
