Well I went with the ALTA course. It's pretty pricey at $300.00 for non members but appears to be very comprehensive.  I am even reading the chapters myself to refresh things.

 What I am finding, however, is even with all the "book" knowledge I still have to sit down with my new hire and teach them how to navigate the search databases, assessor and tax sites, our office software, etc.

 Oh well no one said it would be easy.
