New Member Training

At the discretion of Attorneys' Title Fund Services, Inc., the applicant may be required to successfully complete New Member Training prior to execution of an agency agreement. 

This intensive, 3-day training class covers procedural and legal issues encountered by real estate transactional attorneys, as well as the dynamics of a transaction from contract through closing to policy issuance. The class is designed to impart a conceptual understanding of title insurance and acquaint new Fund Members with resources designed specifically to support their practice.

Tuition is $500 for each attorney signatory and attendance is mandatory for the entirety of the class.

To be Granted Signing Privileges

  • Class Completion: The New Member Training course consists of both live classes and several “Preview” (pre-recorded) sessions that applicants must view and complete a brief quiz. Applicants must complete all sessions of the training curriculum, including the Preview sessions, to be granted signing privileges.
  • Online Class Attendance: Applicants are required to utilize a webcam which must be on throughout the entire training so facilitators can maintain visual contact. They may, on occasion, temporarily disengage the webcam to attend to exigent matters; however, abuse of this privilege may, at the facilitators’ discretion, require the applicant to repeat New Member Training or portions thereof before signing privileges may be afforded. New Member Training requires focused and undivided concentration, and attendance is mandatory for the entirety of the class.


Prior to final approval, New Members not attending the training class are required to attend an orientation presented by their Business Development Advisor on how to work with The Fund and take advantage of our services.

Copies and online access to Fund Title Notes, rate books, and other helpful information are delivered/available upon final approval of the application.
