Hi Malissa, the Wicked Title Forum is home to the Title Resources Archive which is a crowdsourced knowledge base of title industry information, links, forms, and other quick reference information used for clearing title and processing transactions. While this knowledge base is fairly new, there is already a lot of information available for states all over the country. And as you find more information and new resources, we'd love to have you contribute them to the knowledge base for easier reference for yourself as well as helping the next person who is looking.
Reach out to your underwriter. A lot of them offer on-demand continuing education and recordings of past webinars.
The Louisiana Land Title Association has a convention coming up in December. Members also receive a discount on continuing education programs, though they are vague about what those might be or how often. I'm sure if you contact them, they'll be happy to provide you with additional information.
The Louisiana Association of Independent Land Title Agents has a seminar coming up in Nov. Again, their website is a little vague, but I'd recommend contacting them to see what additional resources they might offer to members.
Here is a list of approved education providers by the state of Louisiana.
Bob Brookes school offers Louisiana Title Continuing Education
Donaldson Education Services also provides Louisiana Title Education.
Not for Louisiana specific, but for anyone else reading this...here are some additional 3rd party educational sources that cover some states:
https://www.learntitle.com/
https://www.realestateclosingpath.org/training-workshops
If anyone has educational content for Louisiana or any other state and would like to be able to share it with others, the Wicked Title Forum is happy to host individual articles and full courses.
Malissa, I hope this helps. If you find any other resources, please be sure to share them here for everyone else.

Hi Angelina!
My name is Malissa Watkins. Although I am not new to the title industry, I am completely green when it comes to Louisiana. I am struggling to find education resources specifically for this cajun state. Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you!!

Hi everyone! I have been in the title business for 20 plus years. Mostly Louisiana and now Arkansas. At some point I thought I would break away and went back to school to get my Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. However, all it did was make me want to manage a title company. :) I love the industry and keeping up with the education of the every changing laws.
I look forward to being a part of this group. Please feel free to connect with me!

Howdy!
I received a Bachelor's of City Planning from the University of Virginia and ended up in the world of Title.
Starting my career in Virginia, I was enraptured with searches that could lead you back to the 1700s.
In 1998 I moved to Texas, where I found the tools and issues similar.
I haven't looked back yet, and love to talk shop with people from different parts of the country.
My biggest concern for the future of our industry is getting young people interested and keeping them engaged when they encounter old documents or indices written in cursive
