Hi Ninna- AMEN!! Where I'm from (Louisiana), there is not one organization that I am aware of that offer CSA training. NNA, FERGETABOUTIT. They don't even recognize the boot!!! In my opinion, NNA is more often erroneous than not as far as being current in the notary laws from state to state. In my state, effective Jan '04, it will be mandatory for us to affix our assigned "notary i.d. numbers on each document AND pay a yearly fee to the Sec of State. I am a member of my local chapter and it gives me more info than NNA has ever gave. So far, a couple of agencies have asked me if I have the certification and when I state that training is not available to me in my area, they say that not having one won't make a difference anyway. They just confirm with me that I have the experience and move on. With the new and existing overhead I have to pay regarding my biz, at this point, I'm not about to pay more $$$ for training I don't need. Keep the faith.... |
