The survey is now over. I would like to thank all of you who took time out of your day to provide me with your opinions, comments and suggestions. You have greatly aided me in the development of new products and a direction for me to follow in helping you grow and market your businesses. Below are the final results along with my comments and answers to questions.
************************************
QUESTION NUMBER 1:
We are putting together a Master Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant training course. This course will last for 12 weeks. A maximum of 4 people will take the course together. The course will be personally instructed by Victoria Ring. If such a course were developed would you be interested in studying under Victoria Ring for a period of 12 weeks?
93.2% – YES
6.8% – NO
COMMENT: There is no doubt that almost everyone wants the Master VBA Training Course to be developed. Therefore I will proceed with the development. In the meantime, the VBA Certification Training Course is already developed and available for free download at http://www.vbacertification.com
************************************
QUESTION NUMBER 2:
Select the topics you would like to be a part of the Master Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant Training Course:
58.3% – Developing a business plan
52.8% – Legalities of setting up a business
83.3% – Developing standard operations procedures
62.5% – Teleconferences with bankruptcy attorneys
86.1% – Methods of marketing your business
94.4% – Providing you with at least 1 attorney client after you have successfully completed the course
59.7% – Demonstrating a variety of ways to make money
38.9% – Opportunity to travel to Victoria’s location for personalized training
COMMENT: It appears that marketing and obtaining work from attorneys seem to be the biggest hurdle for most people. Therefore, I will design the Master Course so that 1/3 of it will be concentrated on teaching students marketing techniques. Also, I was amazed that 83.3% of the people want a set of standard operations procedures. This gives me several ideas for the development of new training products and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
************************************
QUESTION NUMBER 3:
What is the MAXIMUM amount you would you be willing to pay for a 12 week training course that provided you with everything you needed to run your company PLUS a guarantee of work from an attorney after you graduated?
39.1% – Less than $1,000.00
33.3% – $1,000.00 with monthly payment plan
18.8% – $2,000.00 with monthly payment plan
7.2% – $3,000.00 with monthly payment plan
1.4% – $4,000.00 with monthly payment plan
COMMENT: I will do the best I can to keep the prices low. However, you need to remember that the average virtual bankruptcy assistant earns from $15,000 to $25,000 per month. There is NO college you can graduate from making that kind of money and people pay thousands of dollars to attend college for a period of 2-4 years. Because my overhead costs are low, I will not price the Master Course at thousands of dollars, but it will be priced higher than the $25 one of the survey respondents suggested.
************************************
QUESTION NUMBER 4:
How familiar are you with the use of web conferencing technology to use for your online training?
25.7% – Not familiar at all
35.1% – Somewhat familiar
35.1% – Very familiar
4.1% – I am an expert with web conferencing technology
COMMENT: For the 25.7% who are not familiar at all and the 35.1% who are somewhat familiar, the process is simple. You receive a link by email. You click on the link and immediately you are connected to the web conference. The old-fashioned way of attending meetings was to get up from your desk, walk to a meeting room, take a seat and listen to the speaker. Today, you simply attend on your computer screen. It is much easier and you do not even need to participate. Just watch your computer screen.
************************************
QUESTION NUMBER 5:
How familiar are you with the use of teleconference technology to use for your online training?
20.3% – Not familiar at all
43.2% – Somewhat familiar
32.4% – Very familiar
4.1% – I am an expert with teleconference technology
COMMENT: For the 20.3% who are not familiar at all and the 43.2% who are somewhat familiar, the process is also very simple. Remember the party lines we used to have back in the old days? Teleconferencing is the same thing. You call a telephone number, enter in a CODE and immediately you are connected to everyone else attending the teleconference.
************************************
QUESTION NUMBER 6:
Select the topics you think should be included in the Master Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant Training Course in relation to the input of bankruptcy petitions:
79.5% – How to prepare a Chapter 7 from scratch
82.2% – How to prepare a Chapter 13 from scratch
86.3% – Advanced Chapter 7 petition skills
83.6% – Advanced Chapter 13 petition skills
56.2% – Knowledge of Chapter 11 business bankruptcy
39.7% – Cases involving the Appeals Court
78.1% – How to prepare Motions and other pleadings
61.6% – Study and analysis of the bankruptcy code
COMMENT: I was a little shocked on the responses to this one. Why would 79.5% of the respondents want to know how to prepare a Chapter 7 from scratch and 82.2% want to know how to prepare a Chapter 13? Either the people responding to this survey had no clue who 713Training.Com was or they misunderstood the question. There would be no reason whatsoever to incorporate basic petition training into a Masters Course when I have spent the past 6+ years providing this training already. Besides, a person cannot even pass the standard VBA Certification unless they have basic Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 skills. Therefore, for the 79.5% and 82.2% who are seeking basic skills in preparing a Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 petition, please visit http://www.713training.com/shop
************************************
FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS:
I would love to see a lot of hands-on training, homework, quizzes, etc.; a chance to collaborate with other students regarding the projects – maybe a required online get-together at least once a week; a good feel for being taught in a small student environment with VBAs who are serious about their business and willing to work with the other students to enhance what we learn.
COMMENT: You got it. This is exactly what I had in mind also.
************************************
For me personally, I have education as a legal assistant but I have never worked in the legal field. My experience is with corporate attorneys. I would want to know whether the training is for experienced bankruptcy assistants either virtual or onsite assistants. I would be willing to pay more for training that provides a turn-key type of business. Also, the more business that is guaranteed to me as a result for completing training would be enticing and I would pay more for tuition. I hope this helps. Good luck with your program.
COMMENT: Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, how to prepare a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition is not a skill taught in any law school or paralegal program. That is why I developed the field because I saw a need for virtual bankruptcy assistants. However, your training as a legal assistant is excellent to have when working in different areas of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a field that utilizes almost all areas of law including real estate law, torts, corporate, business and many more.
************************************
Considering that there is only 1 individual training, Victoria, herself, I believe that Victoria should train others to help her with her overwhelming responses and testing. Allowing other individuals to help grade would shorten the period and response time of the testing procedures.
COMMENT: I totally agree but I have had no one accept my offer. First I developed an application for people who wanted to learn how to become training instructors. They were not required to pay a penny. I only asked them to meet me at seminars and attorney offices so I could provide them with on the job training before releasing them to train the virtual bankruptcy assistants. However, not one person took the time to even fill out the application. So I decided to develop an Apprentice program where I would set up their business for them. One lady applied for this program and paid $10,000. I spent almost $11,000 setting her business up (more than I received) in addition to over 100 hours of my own personal time. However, this lady turned around and filed a lawsuit against me for $35,000 (more than she even paid), which was later dismissed. I never found out why this lady got upset as she refused to communicate with me. In fact, I tried to send her the computer and software I purchased to set up her business and she refused shipment. After these mind-blowing experiences, you can understand why I am not excited about making the offer again. Therefore, if you are interested in becoming a training instructor and helping me with the tremendous workload please STEP UP TO THE PLATE.
************************************
I definitely think if virtual assistant were able to pay monthly for a course with Victoria, a lot more people would be able to attend. Not everyone has a large sum of money to spend at one time.
COMMENT: That is why colleges and universities offer student loans. They understand, like I do, that people do not have great sums of money lying around. That is why the Master Course will be divided up into easy monthly installment payments that people can afford.
************************************
Victoria: After seeking several businesses to start from working at home, I must say, you are very consistent with the opportunities you provide for potential virtual assistants. I am most grateful for your last gesture of providing potential virtual assistants with the opportunity to make monthly payments to begin the training process. I have been very interested, but was not able to afford the courses at once. Now I can begin my training with the expectation of leaving corporate America once and for all to begin the destiny God has in store for me. Thank you and may God continue to richly bless you, your family and your business.
COMMENT: Thank you very much. You sound like me back in the mid 1980s. I was working for corporate America too. But I knew I hated it and wanted to own my own business. I used to spend my lunch hour in the cafeteria reading magazines like Entrepreneur and Small Business Opportunities. But today, you have the whole world available to you through the internet. Use it to your advantage.
************************************
I would benefit most from courses that I could access when time permitted. My schedule as a signing agent and closing for two in-town Title offices is unpredictable at best. This is why I have shied away from paying for other classes offered that are only available at a certain time. College classes are now offering uploaded materials and the student accesses them, listens, learns, and takes an exam. This concept would work for me. Locked into a specific time table would not work. Love you Victoria – you are great!
COMMENT: Thanks for your comments. I have my assistant Cheri Graham researching the online software now that we would use for the online classes.
************************************
The client intake forms that we have as a guide is not necessarily those of which a seasoned bankruptcy attorney uses. In my experience, when my mom went to do her bankruptcy, her attorney who has practiced Law in FL and CA for the past 20 years gave her one sheet that had all the necessary information required. Then when I watched her input the details into Best Case it was completed in a jiffy. I would suggest that a course be offered or a section be offered with the most common circumstances in the bankruptcy arena. This way it is also simplified for the VBA. When I took the course in Orlando with Angie Boyd, it was difficult to follow all that she was doing or saying especially to learn in so much detail in what was a day and I felt not wisely invested money to study under her direction. I had to purchase Victoria’s training DVD’s on top of that just to get an understanding.
COMMENT: First of all, Angie Boyd was fired back in October 2007 for theft of company property. (Refer to the article at http://www.servantofjesuschrist.com) She never stayed with me long enough to learn how to properly train students so I apologize that you were a victim of her sloppy and horrid training techniques. Putting that all aside, the Client Intake Forms were originally developed by seasoned bankruptcy attorneys. You cannot compare the 1 page form your mother used (probably before the law changed in 2005) with the entire industry. Besides, the Client Intake Forms were also tested in hundreds of client intake interviews and they have been downloaded and utilized by thousands of attorneys across the United States since 2001. Finally, I am not going to teach anyone how to take short cuts that end up harming innocent people. Your suggestions are based on a very limited knowledge of the bankruptcy industry.
************************************
There should be a section on writing a business letter to send out to the attorney. This will help those whom have not study for grammar and writing skills in years. There should be a mock phone or webcam interview with a practicing attorney in bankruptcy. This will help the assistant deal with daily attitude and personality in a law firm.
COMMENT: Excellent suggestions; however, we already have these tools in place. I have provided sample letters in my book, How to Start a Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant Business as well as How to Market Your Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant Service. I also provide sample marketing letters in the recent online training video I developed regarding Postcard and Fax Blasts. The sample interviews with attorneys have also been provided in several previous teleconferences which are provided on the 2005 and 2006 Teleconference CDs. Plus, you can order a 1-on-1 Personalized Training session with me and I will teach you how to develop marketing materials and critique ones you already developed. All of these products can be ordered online at http://www.713training.com/shop
************************************
My personal goals, before I get my feet wet and market to attorney’s is to make sure I understand how to prepare the bankruptcy petitions, and I do understand that you may not know everything and will learn from mistakes when starting out, I just want some knowledge first. Learning how to use pacer, marketing tools, More detail if your chapter7 becomes a 13, setting up a business, motions and pleadings. I think what you have listed is a great start.
COMMENT: You may be interested to know that we did a teleconference on Motions and Pleadings, plus provided people with a huge set of templates in both debtor and creditor pleadings. I will hold another teleconference on this topic since some people may have missed it.
************************************
Judging from my biggest hurdle and worry, I would be more interested in this training if the cost of the BEST CASE software was included in the cost of the training. Reason being, I have purchased all the material to learn, I am slowly getting over my fears with marketing and landing clients; however, with struggling financially due to the current economy, I am scared I will be unable to afford the price of the licensing for BESTCASE and potentially lose my first client due to the delay of purchase. I know this is just my personal feeling, but I think including at least one licensing with the cost of the training would honestly set your students up with absolute success with no hurdles! Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts!
COMMENT: Best Case is not the only software program on the market. There are a lot more. For example, http://www.bankruptcysoftware.com provides a FREE software program for virtual bankruptcy assistants. It is the attorney that must pay for the license in order to be able to file. Other software programs are provided on the website at http://www.713training.com/links. Besides, you must consider that if you are unable to purchase the software to start your business you need to get the money you need before marketing. You never want to be placed in a position where you tell an attorney you cannot afford to buy the tools to do their work. This shows you to have an unstable company. Therefore, generate the money to purchase what you need for your business before you start it.
For example: If you decide to have a child, you need to prepare for that child by buying a crib, baby bottles and all the other baby supplies. If you do not have the money to afford these things you figure out ways to get them anyway. You certainly would not bring a new baby from the hospital naked with no clothes and no bed to lie in. The same holds true for your company. You do not birth a new company naked with no clothes and tell your potential customers about it. Doing so will only portray you in a bad light.
************************************
I would think this course would help those who want to pass the VBA Certification. This appears to be something separate. It appears to me that once you pass the VBA, you are eligible to receive referrals. But what will you get after this? You receive ONE attorney client. Are you going to develop a logo for those who have passed this course? I think the Masters class would focus on advanced skills. The basics should be left to the VBA Certification. And in terms of cost, I hope it won’t be out of reach.
The VBA is already $150. But in order to pass it you do need to purchase your other material, which costs. The one plus would be to teach on the bankruptcy code. I’ve taken paralegal classes here in Indianapolis, and I can tell you there is no bankruptcy classes offered. And I think when attorneys see that you have a grasp of it, the more appealing you are. The other class I would suggest is a course on the role of the Trustees. I have downloaded all of their manuals so that I have a better understanding of who they are. I currently look for their reports in my current position at the bank. So I know how important they are. To me they are critical in the bankruptcy process, especially when creditors have to appeal to them when borrowers give out faulty information about debt they are trying to discharge.
COMMENT: Thanks for your opinion. As far as developing a logo, I am currently focusing on the development of the material. The logo development is something I will think about when the course is finished. We cannot get the cart before the horse right now.
As far as there being no bankruptcy classes offered in debtor law, it all has to do with rich people only being concerned with rich people. You can find training in corporate law and big business Chapter 11s, but one of the reasons I developed the virtual bankruptcy assistant field was to bring training to the masses so they could help the average John Q Public – people who really need help. It is unfortunate that the goal of the rich is to keep the poor under them. That is why there has been so much resistance to education in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. I hope all of those reading my words will join me in telling everyone you know about the virtual bankruptcy assistant field and explain to people that attorneys choosing to work in this area of law are normally attorneys who care about the general public. If they didn’t, they would be working in big business bankruptcy making all the big bucks.
************************************
I believe this would be a wonderful addition to the 713Training.Com products. Some people (like me) like ongoing training with more detail. Even though I’ve been preparing petitions for 4 years I still have questions every day. If this were a more advanced course it would be a perfect follow up to the beginning 713Training.Com. You never know the environment a person works in either. When you get different feedback from lots of sources (like me), then it would be nice to have once again a more advanced course to reinforce what I’ve learned and to continue the learning experience. O.k. Victoria, we’ll be waiting on your next great product!!
COMMENT: Thanks for your support. I appreciate you taking the time to comment because all of the comments have helped me shape the course.
************************************
In Max Gardner’s class he has a chart that simplifies the whole petition process and his intake form is devised to go from Schedule A-J contiguously, I don’t know if this is true but I spoke to an attorney who took his class and it sounded very interesting. Of course this class was only for attorneys. Also a class on how to finish the petition in 20-30 minutes or less. How to handle a high workload without stressing yourself out of control. How to keep quality control very high and your client’s content. How can we automate our process in the petition preparation to have an efficient smooth running system that works to our advantage almost flawlessly?
COMMENT: The solution to these issues is PRACTICE which is not a product I can develop. PRACTICE is up to you and is something only you have control over. There is no magic pill I can give you to teach you everything you need to know in 30 minutes or less. When you first learned how to drive a car, did you know as much then as you did 10 years later? When you began the first day of your current job, did you know all the shortcuts and time saving techniques as you do today? The only way for a human being to learn how to get faster at something, create less stress and develop quality control is to PRACTICE. It is therefore up to you to implement this technique which is something I cannot do.
************************************
Putting a price on knowledge is priceless however, teaching it is more rewarding. I currently have a mentor and pay $300 a month. This includes conferencing, CD’s, newsletters, manuals, DVD’s and most importantly monthly webinars. This has been a blessing for my business. I have learned a great deal and know that with your help and expertise I can expand my business into a new direction.
COMMENT: It is great to know someone like you who understands and appreciates the benefits of online learning. Thanks for providing your comments.
************************************
I think that there should be a review of Chapters 7 and 13 preparation before moving on to the advanced skills to make sure everyone is “on the same page.” I also believe it is very important to not only study and analyze the code, but to actually understand it. It would also be very beneficial to the VBA and the attorney if VBA’s could prepare any motions or pleadings regarding the bankruptcy process. As a VBA, we should be knowledgeable and competent to assist the attorney during every step of the process. Knowing and understanding the bankruptcy process, not just how to fill out the forms, will make the VBA an indispensable asset to the attorney by providing the highest form of professional support to the attorney and, therefore, the client.
COMMENT: Your comments are insightful. I am developing an application process that will ensure that everyone is on the same page before they are accepted into the Master Course program.
However, a study of the Bankruptcy Code is not necessary for a virtual bankruptcy assistant. The attorney is the person who should concentrate on learning the Bankruptcy Code. The role of a virtual bankruptcy assistant is never to take the place of an attorney or risk committing unauthorized practice of law (UPL).
Additionally, learning how to write motions and pleadings is another skill that is only taught to law students and attorneys. Again, these skills are not taught to legal secretaries and paralegals because the law protects the public from unauthorized practice of law.
Besides, it is a proven fact that if a virtual bankruptcy assistant knows too much about the law itself, they have a tendency of committing UPL more frequently. That is why I only concentrate on the training a virtual bankruptcy assistant needs without committing UPL. When I train attorneys I concentrate on the Bankruptcy Code and the other areas of law you mention. Attorney training is not the same for virtual bankruptcy assistants.
************************************
I would be interested in advanced training over a shorter period of time. I think your training materials are excellent and provide a solid base of knowledge.
COMMENT: Thanks for your input. However, compare the 12 week course I am developing to a 2 year paralegal course and you can begin to understand why 12 weeks is a very short period of time.
************************************
Basic training/advance in the preparation of both Chapter 7 & 13. I think that Chapter 11 Business bankruptcy should be in a different training class. But to include the preparation of motions and other pleadings to give the Virtual Assistant the additional knowledge they would have to market their business. Possibly placing the business plan and the other items in Question #2 in a separate training session, so that the main focus is having a clear understanding of the preparation of the chapters.
COMMENT: Please see my answer below regarding big businesses and Chapter 11s. My focus is solely on helping the average John Q Public which makes up 80% or more of all bankruptcy petitions that are filed. If someone wants to work in Chapter 11s, there is enough training material on this area of law already. My focus and concern is people, not big businesses who have millions of dollars.
************************************
With regard to the general certification process, I would like to see made available additional Sample Client Intake Forms for training purposes (perhaps up to three). It appears the vast majority of trainees are new to the bankruptcy field (myself included) and having additional petitions to prepare would serve to not only boost our understanding of the process but also our confidence in marketing ourselves thereafter. I, for one, would gladly pay for your additional time in reviewing these additional training petitions.
COMMENT: I agree with you. In the past other people have suggested that I make a book of practice Client Intake Forms. The only reason I held off is because the solution is simple and will not cost you any money. Just do your own bankruptcy petition. No one will see the information and doing your own; (using your own debts and asset information) will advance your training skills much better than practicing on several bogus ones. Finally, since every bankruptcy petition is different and unique, you will never be 100% prepared until you jump in and start working for attorneys; no matter how many you practice on beforehand.
************************************
I think twelve weeks is a decent amount of time to get to the nitty gritty of a lot of the topics that would interest a lot of us. I have been looking into this industry for a long time, now is the time to get out here and do this, so providing the above listed topics would be a great starting point. I would also be interested in learning more about filing for businesses. I had one a little while back, but the paralegal I was working with to do petitions did not do business filings. I would really like to learn more about marketing other ways to grow a virtual bankruptcy business. I would also like to know more about how the process of filing for BK holds up foreclosure. Working for a major federal loan provider our borrowers do this, so I know private industry is doing the same, so in having potential clients who may come to me to file a petition, I would like to know more about this. This is great, thanks for this opportunity.
COMMENT: By filing for businesses, I do not know exactly what you mean. If someone has a business that makes under $1 million they can file a Chapter 13 or a Chapter 7 like any other consumer. (The amount changes all the time.) Chapters 11s are for businesses that make close to $1 million or more per year and have enough money to pay back their creditors. Even a billion dollar a year business can file a Chapter 7. Therefore, I do not understand why any paralegal that knew how to prepare Chapter 7s and Chapter 13s could not do a business filing. It is evident this paralegal either did not understand what you were asking or was unskilled in bankruptcy law.
I suggest you contact my office at 614-323-8131 and set up a training session with me. I am sure I could help you a great deal especially in understanding how foreclosures work in bankruptcy.
************************************
I would like to attend this course to give myself more credibility in the sight of attorneys that I market to. I have real world bankruptcy experience, but it’s hard to sway attorney’s opinions that you have to be “in office” in order to help them. This course will show them that you are serious about your business and that you have taken the time to get credentials to show just how serious you are.
COMMENT: I agree. Many attorneys are not up to date on technology. They spend a great deal of time in court and operating their practice and little time researching technology. That is why it is very important that you have to knowledge to educate them. One of the best tools to teach you how to do this is the book I wrote titled, How to Increase Profits for Your Law Firm. You can get it free when you join the NAVBA for $15.99 at http://www.navba.org/administrator/signup.php or pay $10.99 for the eBook download at http://www.713training.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=39
************************************
I AM NEW TO THIS BUT HAVE A PARALEGAL DEGREE. I DON’T HAVE A JOB AS A PARALEGAL BUT WOULD LIKE TO TRAIN AS A VBA. RIGHT NOW, COST IS THE DETERRENT, BUT I AM WILLING TO SAVE FOR IT AS LONG AS I HAVE THE GUARANTEE OF MAKING A PROFIT. THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO DEVELOP THIS OPPORTUNITY VICTORIA!!
COMMENT: Thanks for your comments. However, you must be aware that I (or no one else) has the ability to guarantee you will be successful. Success can only be achieved by you. Just like you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink, I can provide you with all the tools and instructions to build your house; but it will be up to you to pick up the hammer and pound in the nails.
************************************
I think it is a great opportunity, I would truly like the course to focus on Bankruptcy (7-13) and you might want to have but the bankruptcy questions before the business plan questions. The price might be a little steep for the course as well.
COMMENT: I addressed this issue before regarding price. My son Michael is getting ready to enter law school. He is willing to invest 4 years of his time and go into debt with student loans totaling $100,000 to become an attorney. Even with that, Michael will not immediately start earning $25,000 per month in income when he graduates from law school. But when you graduate the Master VBA Course and have been assigned an attorney client to work with, you will begin your career with a monthly starting income of $10,000 or more per month. If you are not willing to pay for good training in order to achieve this goal, then you are not ready for the Master Course.
************************************
I have just started out in this field. I have purchased some of your materials as I can afford them. My knowledge is limited at this time, so any feedback would be useless, other than I think that you are doing a great job and service for other VBA’s. Thank you
COMMENT: Thank you for your kind comments. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. One suggestion is: if you cannot afford to join the NAVBA at least join the NAVBA forum (free) at http://www.navba.org/forum so you can network with others and advance your knowledge.
************************************
I have a background in legal work, and I would like to be able to work in the field of bankruptcy. Training would be very good and I do want to take the training. I am hoping that there will be a payment schedule for those of us that are working on a limited budget. Thank you for the information that I have gotten from you.
COMMENT: Yes, there will be a monthly payment plan. I do not know what it is at this time as I am concentrating on the development of the material. Stay tuned.
************************************
Victoria: You know that I think your books are terrific. They take you step by step in completing the bankruptcy petition and schedules and if you’ve never done one – you certainly would be able to do so after completion of following the book. With that being said, if you are going to the next step with web technology, I know that everyone who would invest in this with you would be able to start their own business and prosper.
COMMENT: Thanks so much for your faith in my ability and your and kind words. This helps give me confidence and courage to continue with the development of the Master Course and I appreciate you taking the time to provide your positive comments. As you can see, I often get more negative comments than I do positive ones. God bless you.
************************************
I think a payment plan would be needed (could pay weekly or monthly). Have training online (username/password) so we can work into schedule, so you won’t miss anything and can go over assignments/topics several times for review. Have ongoing groups of 4 so you can start monthly instead of waiting 12 weeks before you can start again. Great Idea! Very interested. Thank you for all you do!
COMMENT: Thanks for your positive comments. You are I are thinking on the same lines.
************************************
I feel that it is a great idea to develop the Master Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant Training Course. Depending on the fee, I may enroll. I am a Certified Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant, but I wish that I could have gotten some type of experience, perhaps through an internship program. In the future, I think it would also be a good idea if you could incorporate more practice with drafting the bankruptcy petitions. I look forward to hearing more about this course.
COMMENT: You are exactly the type of person I am developing the Master Course for. Stay tuned.
