Bankruptcy Training for College Students
Campus jobs pay by the hour. This skill pays by the petition — from your laptop, around your class schedule.
Most college jobs trade your hours for a little cash and nothing else. Waiting tables and campus gigs don't build your resume, don't flex around exams, and cap out at an hourly wage. Bankruptcy petition drafting is a different kind of student income: professional, remote, and paid per project — trained drafters commonly charge several hundred dollars per petition.
The work fits student life unusually well. It's done entirely on a laptop, on your own schedule — take on more petitions during slow weeks, none during finals. And unlike a typical side hustle, it builds a genuine professional credential you keep after graduation, whether you head to law school, business, or anywhere else.
No degree or legal background is required. The training teaches Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 petition drafting step by step on video, and includes certification as a Bankruptcy Petition Specialist™ — a real credential while your classmates are still stacking chairs at the dining hall.

- ✓Pre-law and legal studies students who want real legal-industry experience before graduation
- ✓Anyone in school who'd rather build a skill and a resume line than clock hours at a campus job
No prior legal or bankruptcy experience is required. All materials are downloadable or accessed online — you can start training today.
How does this compare to a typical campus job?
A campus job pays an hourly wage for hours you must show up for. Petition drafting is skilled, per-project work you schedule yourself: a single petition typically bills for more than a full week of part-time minimum-wage shifts, and the work itself — precise, document-driven, deadline-based — is resume material in a way that a dining-hall shift never will be. The trade-off is real: you have to learn the skill first. That's what this training is for.

We are a bankruptcy petition training organization and do not develop, sell, or provide bankruptcy petition preparation software.
For many years, our training programs have taught students how to draft bankruptcy petitions using the free downloadable demo version of Best Case Bankruptcy software by Stretto, one of the most widely used bankruptcy petition preparation platforms among bankruptcy law firms. We are not affiliated with Stretto and do not receive compensation from them.
Stretto now also offers a cloud-based version of Best Case Bankruptcy that runs through a web browser. While the cloud edition is convenient because it can run in a web browser on any computer operating system, it includes a limited free trial period, whereas the traditional desktop edition, which installs on a Windows computer (or can run on a Mac computer using software such as Parallels), continues to provide a demo environment for learning purposes for as long as it is installed.
We encourage students to use the desktop edition while completing our training courses so that they can practice drafting the forms, schedules, and other components of a bankruptcy petition in an environment similar to what many bankruptcy law firms use.
Later, when accepting paid work drafting bankruptcy petitions for attorneys, you will use the software that the attorney or law firm is licensed for and uses, which they will provide you access to.
While each major bankruptcy software platform takes a slightly different approach to completing the forms and schedules of a bankruptcy petition, they all complete the same standardized bankruptcy forms and schedules. Our training courses teach you the petition process itself — which applies across all bankruptcy software products.
