NSA 101 provides practical, hands-on intro notary public and signing agent training in Olympia, Washington. NSA 101 bridges the gap between any online notary training or rigorous self-study you may have had and your first real notary assignment with real people, real documents. Learn in a friendly, supportive, risk-free environment to help you launch your notary career with confidence. Carmen Lane is your NSA 101 workshop leader.
Intro Notary Public training is for beginners. This helps brand new notaries understand their duties as an independent notary public in Washington and offers hands-on practice...
Signing Agent Loan Documents training is more advanced. This is intended for experienced Washington notaries who want to know what it is like to work as an independent notary signing agent. This training helps brand new signing agents understand their limited but critical role and provides hands-on practice preparing and presenting loan documents using a complete sample refinance loan package. You can practice, roleplay, and learn what to say, what to do when you are hired to conduct a loan signing. My approach to training helps eliminate fear and anxiety for new signing agents.
Live, in-person training is best if you are brand new. I have been in your shoes and I know first hand what feels like to watch a video and then click through online notary training modules and minutes later be considered "certified" and yet I came away with that horrible anxious feeling of being wildly unprepared, feeling that something was missing. I realized that the missing part for me was practical hands-on training -- thus, NSA 101 was created with worried notaries in mind. Live, in-person training is best, but we can also do training via Zoom.
And for you staunch DIYers and independent learners out there who don't want to meet for training, there are digital download training tools available for purchase if that works best for your learning style.
Hello! Thank you for being here. Being an effective notary requires effort on your part. I can discuss and demonstrate exactly what I do, but I cannot know it it for you. If you are like me and you learn best by doing and being able to ask questions, then my approach to notary training at NSA 101 can help you.
As a commissioned notary public, you alone are responsible for knowing your notary duties and for following and staying current on our state notary laws/rules and industry best practices. So whether or not you decide to take intro notary or loan documents training from me, it is important you get your training from somewhere and to read, study, and practice before jumping into the notary business in Washington.
Follow instructions and get some practical hands-on training and practice with me to help you come away feeling more confident and prepared as a notary public.
