Bankruptcy Training for Virtual Assistants
You already run a remote service business. Specialization is how it starts paying professional rates.
Every experienced VA learns the same hard lesson: general admin work has a rate ceiling. Inbox management and scheduling are replaceable, so clients shop on price. The VAs who break the ceiling all do the same thing — they specialize in a skill clients can't easily find elsewhere. Bankruptcy petition drafting is one of the most direct specializations available.
As a Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant, you do the same kind of work you do now — client documents, data entry, deadlines, organized delivery — but for bankruptcy attorneys, billed per petition instead of per hour. The business skills you've already built (finding clients, managing your pipeline, working independently) are the part most new petition drafters struggle with. You're starting with the hard half done.
This training adds the specialty: every form and schedule of the Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 petition, taught on video with a hands-on workbook, plus certification as a Bankruptcy Petition Specialist™ to anchor your new positioning.
Who This Training Is For
- ✓Working VAs who want to escape the hourly-rate ceiling with a defensible specialty
- ✓VAs with legal, real estate, or finance clients who are one credential away from higher-value work
- ✓New VAs who'd rather launch specialized than compete in the crowded general-admin market
- ✓Freelancers on Upwork-style platforms who want direct professional clients and repeat casework instead
No prior legal or bankruptcy experience is required. All materials are downloadable or accessed online — you can start training today.
General VA vs. Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant
A general VA sells time, competes with a global market, and re-wins every client on price. A Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant sells a certified specialty to a specific professional niche — bankruptcy attorneys — who have recurring casework and care about accuracy far more than about finding the cheapest bid. Same laptop, same home office, completely different market position.

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.
