Chapter 7 and 13 Course and Certification
The most detailed, accurate, and complete bankruptcy petition training available —
with personal attention at every step.
Bankruptcy filings are through the roof — and there is an ongoing shortage of people skilled in drafting bankruptcy petitions...the document at the core of every single filing. The demand is real, the shortage is real, and the opportunity is wide open.
Here's what most people don't know... this skill isn't taught in college, paralegal courses, or even law school. That's exactly why attorneys struggle to find qualified help, and why the people who do have this skill are so well-paid. Law firms nationwide are actively hiring Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants and outsourcing petition work to certified bankruptcy petition specialists. No prior legal experience required.
Our flagship Chapter 7 and 13 Course and Certification is the industry standard — the most complete, accurate, and up-to-date training of its kind, with nearly $90,000 in total value, nothing held back, and nothing overlooked. You'll learn how to use bankruptcy petition software and master the Chapter 7 means test, Chapter 13 plan calculations, and every court filing from start to finish. In as little as a few months, you can be ready to work for any bankruptcy attorney or law firm — running your own business from anywhere in the world with a computer and internet connection. Our Master Marketing included with the course connects you with attorneys who need you.

How does this compare to other options?
Paralegal programs cost $10,000–$20,000 and take 1–2 years to complete — and they don't teach bankruptcy drafting in-depth. This course delivers the exact skill bankruptcy attorneys need most, in months, at a fraction of the cost. Unlike a paralegal degree, you can start earning before you even finish the course.
“I learned more in one day from your seminar than I have learned in the entire paralegal course I enrolled in. You make everything simple to understand and your compassionate personality allowed me to feel comfortable participating in the group discussions.”
