Attention AU/NZ Business Owners

or if you are a VA employed by one (share this with them)

You've invested in a Filipino VA because they're skilled, hardworking, and great value. But you also know the gap - they can do what you ask, but you wish they could think ahead, understand you and your business better, and deliver without needing every step spelled out.

This programme closes that gap. In 30 days, your VA learns to operate with AI tools, anticipate what your business needs, and deliver at a standard your AU/NZ clients expect.

Enroll them into this programme with their email and they'll get direct access. This will be the highest-ROI training investment you'll make this year.

I built a workflow automation for my teammate - something that took him hours previously. Now they consult with me everytime they need automation!

Cohort 1 Graduate

Verified Student

This cohort helped me how to be intentional with AI. I spent too much time on trial and error + figuring out, but now I know what to automate, what needs the human touch, and how to scale without losing control. AI isn't just a trend, it's a game changer when used right.

The real gap

You can learn Claude on YouTube for FREE.
Mindset is the difference.

Hundreds of VAs have already lost their roles in the past few months - not because AI replaced them, but because their clients believed it could. If you're watching that happen and not doing something about it right now, you're choosing to be next.

The gap isn't effort - Filipino VAs are some of the hardest-working professionals online. The gap is systems and strategic thinking. Understanding why a client needs that report, not just how to format it. That's what separates a $3-$5/hr task list from a $10-$15/hr ai operator.

This programme doesn't just teach you AI tools. It rewires how you think about client work - so you become the person your client can't afford to lose.

AI Operator

Trained by your future client

Tommy runs an AU agency with real clients. You're learning from someone who thinks like, hires like, and expects like the businesses you'll serve. Every exercise mirrors what AU/NZ teams actually need.

Why before what

Before doing any task, you'll learn to ask WHY it matters to the client. The VA who understands why a report exists writes a fundamentally different report than one who just formats numbers. That's the strategic layer that changes your rate.

Build and ship real work

Dashboards, automations, client systems - built with Claude, reviewed by a working AU agency. By Phase 3 you're handling open-ended briefs with multiple valid solutions. You graduate with a portfolio, not just a certificate.

Placement into AU/NZ businesses

Top graduates connect to our employer network at $1,800 USD/month. Your certification is your calling card - earned by delivering real work, not just completing modules.

Your trainer

Meet Tommy Leung

Founder, CMOB Digital

Sydney, Australia

Tommy runs a digital agency in Sydney that builds AI systems, automations, and dashboards for Australian and New Zealand businesses every day. Not a YouTuber teaching theory - an agency owner delivering real work to real clients.

When you learn from him, you're learning directly from the person who thinks like, hires like, and expects like the AU/NZ businesses you'll work with. The standards, the communication style, the delivery speed - it's all first-hand.

He built CRTFD because he saw the gap: Filipino VAs with incredible work ethic, but no structured path to learn AI tools the way Australian clients actually need them used. This program is that path.

FAQ

Common questions

No coding experience needed at all. This programme uses the Claude desktop app - a visual interface that lets you work with AI without touching a terminal or writing code. If you can use a computer and follow instructions, you can do this.

Expect 1-2 hours per day on lessons and exercises, plus live sessions each week. The programme runs daily (including weekends) for 30 days. It's intensive but designed for working VAs - you can fit it around your client work.

Yes - you'll need a Claude Pro subscription ($20/month) to use the Claude desktop app. We walk you through setup during onboarding. Think of it as your primary business tool - the ROI from even one client project will cover months of the subscription.

You keep community access permanently. Graduates get connected to our employer network - businesses actively looking for AI-capable VAs. Your CRTFD certification is your calling card for higher-rate positions.

Cohort 2 is focused on the Filipino VA community - that's where the biggest opportunity gap exists. But the skills are universal. If you're a VA or freelancer anywhere who wants to level up with Claude, you're welcome.
