After a Chapter 7 case is filed, filers are typically required to take a financial management class. In most cases, the financial management class must be approved by the state of Louisiana.

Upon completion of the class, filers will receive a certificate of completion. The court will typically require filers to present this certificate to receive a bankruptcy discharge.
