For purposes of complying with Fed. R. Bankr.

(b) Certificate of Completion of Personal Financial Management Course. Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007(b)(7) may be satisfied by an approved personal financial management provider filing a certificate bearing— (1) the debtor's name; (2) the debtor's case number; (3) a certification by such provider that it is an approved personal financial management provider and that the debtor completed an instructional course in personal financial management; and (4) an electronic ("s/") or manual signature by an authorized agent of the provider. If a provider does not file the certificate, the debtor must file, if required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007(b)(7), a certificate of course completion issued by the provider and meeting the above requirements. A debtor who seeks to be excused from filing a required certificate of course completion must file a motion in accordance with E.D. Tenn. LBR 9013-1(f) to seek a waiver of the requirement.
