Hi Melissa - Yes, I saw these and I’m leaning towards https://learntitlesearching.comthe content creator is on YouTube there’s  ‘about’ page contact info, phone, email etc.The other class might be fine~ but site is missing ‘about’ info, no contact no name, no phone no number no email- not clear who they are.ALTA is specialized/ costly (I’m requesting  some  cost covered by a job training program) so far I took a few quick low cost basic classes here: Understanding title reports , Basics of Title reports and escrow from online edhttps://www.onlineed.com/catalog?

You will get plenty of that at your office sales meetings, office training, CE training, board and association training.   

It is easier to train assistants and staff if you are only doing STR or LTR.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
