What BOAT are you currently in?
The Cruise Ship
Fund Your Retirement and Embrace Adventure
You’ve retired (or are approaching retirement) from your full-time job and are ready to enjoy travel, recreation, and the freedom of this new season. By choosing a meaningful freelance career, you can fund your retirement while pursuing exciting activities in your spare time.
The Lifeboat
Stay Afloat and Thrive in a Second Act Career
Whether unexpected circumstances led to a change in your career path or you’re looking to start a new chapter, freelancing offers a welcome option to continue working and supporting yourself and your family.
The Fishing Boat
Live with Purpose and Impact
You may have reached a point in life where you don’t need to work for financial reasons, but you’re driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact and contribute to a particular industry or cause. You want to find purpose in providing great work to a client.
- From the 9-5
- To retire, but still earn a supplementary income
- To spend more time with family & friends
- To raise your kiddos while working at home
- To pay off debt
- To work in spite of health struggles
- To travel
- To work and live on your own terms
Regardless of the current “boat” you are in, we created Freelance University for people like you who are ready to…
- Move past the fear to start a flexible freelance business (don’t worry, we’re here to help)
- Design the life, new career, or next chapter you want and work toward your dreams—instead of someone else’s
- Love your work and earn what you deserve by working with amazing clients—whenever and wherever you want
- Build something sustainable that you OWN—a business, not a job
You want this. But how? There’s so much information out there about starting a profitable freelance business!

I started my business in 2012 at the age of 57. I wanted to be self-employed, have a flexible schedule, be able to work from anywhere and do what I love. I also needed to hone my skill set. I found that with Freelance University.

Freelance University is one of the very few experiences I have found that offers a 360 degree support network to ensure your freelance success. Within the first three weeks of joining the University and applying what I learned, I had landed my first client… it just works!

Hi there!
When we started freelancing online in 2003, there was virtually no support or training for those wanting to freelance. We had to figure everything out and learn the hard way. It was tough, but we got there in the end.
It’s our desire that you have the freedom to create your own business, define your work-life balance, and pursue a career path that fits your current stage of life perfectly.
That’s why we decided to launch Freelance University back in 2008 to provide a one-stop learning community. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of training over 25,000 students in more than 75+ countries.
Over the years, we have enjoyed the great freedom and flexibility of working from anywhere through many changes and seasons of life.
We would love to support you as you embark on your own freelance journey, so hope to see you soon!
To Your Success,
Craig & Kelly Cannings

Hi there!
When we started freelancing online in 2003, there was virtually no support or training for VAs or Freelancers. We had to figure everything things out and learn the hard way. It was tough, but we got there in the end.
It’s our desire that all our students have the freedom to create their own business, define their work-life balance, and pursue a career that ignites their passions. That’s why we decided to launch Freelance University back in 2008 to provide a one-stop professional development platform for Freelancers, Virtual Assistants, and Online Professionals. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of training over 25,000 virtual professionals in more than 75+ countries.
