I was offered a job as virtual assistant. However, I am still doubtful
because the job requires a training (which I understand) but in order
to get the online training, I need to pay first and this is where my
eyebrows raised. This is my first time being offered a job like this
like a freelance. Anyone here got into this type of job but was really
legitimate?

whenever they ask for money up front a "red flag" should go up...you should goggle this company and see if there are complaints about this company scamming people,in my opinon it sounds like a scam most of these so-called work from home jobs especially the ones that ask for a fee are usually always scams...

Yeah that is what I read as well before to stay away from
offers that is asking some fees. Thanks for your input.

Be careful insurectus because there are lots of scams online. And how will you pay? By using your credit card? It's not advisable. In some companies, they will pay you while you are being trained since it will be part of your job with them in the future. Think about it carefully and I know there are other companies out there that will be needing your talent/
