Chapter 13 Course and Certification
The most detailed, accurate, and complete Chapter 13 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 Chapter 13 Course and Certification is the industry standard — the most complete, accurate, and up-to-date Chapter 13 training of its kind, nothing held back, and nothing overlooked. 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.
“You really go out of your way to provide such in-depth answers to my questions. You can be assured that I will always recommend you to anyone who is interested in the services and training that you provide.”

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Principles
Mastering Chapter 7 petition drafting is a solid foundation — most of the forms and schedules carry over to Chapter 13. But Chapter 13 has critical differences that every VBA, paralegal, BPP, legal assistant, and attorney must understand:
- ✓Form 122A (Means Test) is replaced with Form 122C — same data, different purpose
- ✓Debts must be correctly classified in the Chapter 13 Plan
- ✓Liens can be crammed down to actual value
- ✓Unsecured mortgages can be stripped (eliminated)
- ✓How to convert a Chapter 7 petition to Chapter 13 (and vice-versa)
- ✓Handling foreclosure, repossession, and Chapter 13 Plan deficiency notices
- ✓Motion and pleading templates for successful cram downs and lien stripping
