The fastest way to grow a bankruptcy petition drafting business is to add trained people — and the hardest part is finding people who can actually draft accurately. This skill isn't taught in college, paralegal programs, or even law school, so you can't just hire it. You have to train it.
The Chapter 7 & 13 Bankruptcy Petition Agency Training & Certification System gives every person on your team the same industry-standard training our individual students use — the most complete, accurate, and up-to-date bankruptcy petition training available, with nearly $90,000 in total value. Each team member learns the petition software, the Chapter 7 means test, Chapter 13 plan calculations, and every court filing from start to finish, and can earn the same Bankruptcy Petition Specialist certification.
You get the complete course with the marketing, plus a seat for each person on your team. Team members receive their own login to the full drafting training, certification, and bonuses — without the marketing and business-building modules. They learn to draft petitions for you, not how to compete with you.
What Your Agency Gets
One price per seat — plus these agency extras.
A Seat for Every Team Member
Each person gets their own login, their own progress, and their own certification exams. Seats are personal and can't be transferred to a different person.
Identical Training & Certification
Your team receives the same videos, workbook, seminar, PACER training, and certification exams as our individual students — the industry standard for nearly 20 years.
The Full Course for You
You, the agency owner, get the complete course including Marketing Magic and the business-building bonuses — the playbook for finding attorneys and growing the agency.
1-Year NAVBA Membership
A year of membership in the National Association of Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants (NAVBA), which connects you with other petition professionals and attorney referral resources, is included for your agency.

Who This Is For
The Agency Training & Certification System was built for people who draft bankruptcy petitions through a team:
- ✓Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants and petition specialists who have more attorney work than hours in the day
- ✓Bankruptcy document preparation and support companies that employ or contract petition drafters
- ✓Entrepreneurs building a petition drafting agency from the ground up, with a team from day one
- ✓Owners who want every drafter trained and certified to one consistent standard — whatever their background
Your team members need no prior legal experience. All materials are downloadable or accessed online, so each person can start training the day they are added.
How does this compare to other ways of training a team?
Sending each hire through a paralegal program costs $10,000–$20,000 per person and takes 1–2 years — and those programs don't teach bankruptcy drafting in-depth. This system delivers the exact skill bankruptcy attorneys need most, in months, at a fraction of the cost, with one trained, certified drafter per seat.
“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.”

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.
