Abstract Class in PA, NC or SC?
Lynn Hammett and I have been discussing taking a two day Abstractor seminar “on-the-road” in NC, SC and possibly PA. The Seminars would be designed around national abstracting principles, and would be excellent for those planning to get the Naltea Certified Abstractor (NCA) Designation for those of you wishing to demonstrate to clients that you are a professional, skilled Abstractor, who that takes pride in your profession.
The study manual to focus on key national aspects of land title searching and abstracting and core “need to know” title searching concepts. Refresh your skills, and learn to compare and contrast the variations of national themes such as Deed of Trust vs. Mortgage, Joint Tenancy vs. Tenancy by the Entireties, etc. The book is a must for you when dealing with clients in multiple states to understand what your customer really wants.
Special Features:
Key learning objectives are clearly defined for each chapter
Hands on examples with copies of documents, appear in the book
Tests appear after each unit to assess your knowledge of the material
Answers are given to verify your comprehension
Glossary of Terms helps you identify key concepts, and explains the variations of terms used in different locales.
NALTEA Board has placed “Principles of Abstracting, Searching and Land Records Management” (National Edition) on its approved reading list as a study guide for the NCA designation.
If you have an interest, please let us know!

I would also be interested in a PA seminar. Where would it be held in PA? Could you please tell me a little more about the NCA certification. How is it obtained? I am new to this profession and would appreciate your help getting any certifications that would help me to establish myself in the field. Thank you for your help.

Ms. Johnson:
I am a real estate salesperson in PA and am studying to become a title abstractor in the same state. I read in your FAQ section that PA does not require a license for this profession. However, I noticed on your blog that there is a NCA available and I was wondering if you could give me some information about this certification.
Thank you for your time, and I appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Sheila

Hello Scarlett and Sheila,
The National Certified Abstractor (NCA) designation is earned by members of the National Association of Land Title Abstractors and Examiners (www.Naltea.org.) In order to obtain the certification, you must be a member in good standing of the organization, subscribe to the code of ethics and pass the Certification exam. There may be other items required as well - you can check with the Association Web site or contact them for more detail.
