VA in a Box: Become a CRTFD AI Operator

This is who you're rising with

Real operators.
Real names. Real faces.

Cohort 1 and 2 are full of Filipinos already doing this. Not stock photos. Not actors. The people in the room with you. The wall keeps growing, and soon you'll see them wearing the badge.

+ You?

What it actually is

Not a course.
You become a professional AI VA.

Lessons you watch and forget don't make you money. Becoming a working professional does. Your whole VA operation runs on Claude, set up for you. We teach you, step by step, to run it like a pro. By the time you finish, you don't just know AI. You run it for a living.

01

Your operation, on Claude

Your full Claude (Cowork) workspace, set up the professional way. A working operator's desk from Day 1, not a login and good luck.

02

The path to professional

A proven step-by-step program takes you from beginner to professional operator. You learn the skills that actually win and keep Western clients.

★

The human edge

Communication, reading briefs, managing clients, Western standards. The part no tutorial teaches, and the part that gets you hired.

The full syllabus

Exactly what you get,
and what you learn.

One clear path, not a pile of lessons. You walk a proven spine that makes you a professional operator, then layer on the specialisations you want to be paid for. Every session is self-paced and in order. You are never held back, and never rushed.

The bridge to Western clients

Australian AI Agency Standards.
A Filipino crew.

CRTFD is two worlds working as one. Tommy Leung runs the Western side. An Australian AI consultant and trainer, he runs real teams of Filipino operators on live client work across Australia and the West. Together we hand you the exact playbook our own people use, and a whole Filipino crew rising with you.

Tony Dahiroc built the movement here at home. A keynote speaker and VA trainer with a following of over 100k, he has run workshops across Mindanao and helped Filipino freelancers build real careers.

He is the reason CRTFD exists in the Philippines, and Cohort 1 and 2 grew up under him.

★ The crew behind you

The honest part

We give you the engine.
You bring the hours.

This is not get-rich-quick. We hand you the setup, the tools, the standard and the training. You bring the work. The more you put into Claude, the faster it learns you. The serious ones do double. Kaya mo 'to, if you put in the hours.

You don't do this alone

The Box gets you in.
The crew is why you stay.

Most coaches sell a programme and vanish. We built a movement. Every week we go live. Operators team up, pass each other work, build things together. Bayanihan. The whole village lifts, so everyone rises.

★ Weekly live with Tommy

Q&A, new tools, real wins. You're in the room where it happens.

★ Wear the badge

Certified operators get the CRTFD frame for their profile photo. Proof you can wear.

★ The Operators

Weekly lives, monthly tools, the network, first access to bigger opportunities. Optional. Your seat in the movement.

Ralph

CRTFD AI Operator

"Within a week I landed a client from Germany, built a complete system for them, and made Claude my daily copilot. Thank you for such a life-changing course."

★★★★★

Mer

CRTFD AI Operator

"I'm a mum with a 5-month-old and three clients, so I wasn't sure I could squeeze this in, or that it wouldn't be another course that goes nowhere. But I'm really happy with what I'm learning. Something about this one just feels different, it keeps me wanting to move forward. And the support is great."

★★★★★

Noel

Construction estimator · AU clients

"I'm a VA construction estimator for Australian clients, and within the first third I was already applying it to real projects. It changed how I work with AI as a collaborator. I think through problems better, build faster, and work more efficiently."

★★★★★

Alden

CRTFD AI Operator

"I kept feeling I was only scratching the surface. Enrolling was a game changer. I'm getting so much more out of Claude now, and it shows in how I work with my team. I'm faster, sharper, and more confident."

★★★★★

Vic

CRTFD AI Operator

"I retired my invoicing subscription and built my own in Cowork, connected to my Google Calendar, with Claude drafting the invoice email for review before it sends. I'm even moving off Upwork and saving the fees."

★★★★★

Joel

CRTFD AI Operator

"It's been awesome. The skills were a game changer, and I built one that's super handy. I needed this structure badly, so I'm glad I joined."
