Steps To Success

Step A: Introduction to Insurance – Online Modules

All four introductory online modules must be completed prior to beginning your state licensing exam preparation.

Step B: Study the Exam Preparation Textbook and Take the State Licensing Exam

Plan to spend roughly 1 month studying for your state licensing exam using our exam preparation resources. Remember, you will NOT be completing online modules during this portion of the certification program.
Begin studying the state exam preparation textbook. The blue and green sections include important information on how to study and about the exam process. Most importantly, a recommended study schedule is provided. The study schedule breaks the content into manageable pieces allowing you the best opportunity to absorb the information.
Additional study resources including videos, a final practice exam, and a final prep study guide, can be accessed at https://www.iabforme.com/education-events/licensing/pennsylvania-property-casualty-supplemental-resources/
When you believe you are ready, make an appointment for your state exam through PSI. https://www.psiexams.com/
Take and pass your state exam! If you are unsuccessful in passing your exam, IA&B staff are available to discuss your score results and to provide suggestions on additional study tips and focus. Scroll for staff information.

Step C: Apply for Your License and Get Fingerprinted

Apply for your License
- A producer application fee of $55 is required at the time of submission.

- After you complete the application, you can check on your application status at https://www.insurance.pa.gov/. Once it’s been issued, you can print your license from this website.
Get Fingerprinted
All new license applicants must be fingerprinted (FBI and state police). Refer to your licensing exam score report for details on how to get fingerprinted and related fees (approximately $24).

Step D: Log into Your Learning Portal to Submit State Exam Results

Refer to “accessing your learning portal” on the first page of this letter. Go to Section 2 – Licensure (exam preparation) and submit your licensing exam results. Once you have submitted your exam information, Sections 3 and 4 will become accessible.

Step E: Complete the Remaining 32 ICCP Online Modules

While studying for the state licensing exam is mostly memorization, the core of the ICCP is found in Sections 3 (26 modules) and 4 (6 modules). This is where we take a deeper dive into the policies you will be selling and servicing during your career, providing you with essential business skills to lead you to success. You can access these modules as many times as you like, and they can be completed in any order.

Step F: ICCP Final Exam

The intent of the ICCP final exam is to gauge your knowledge of the policies as well as the business skills needed to be successful in this industry. This test consists of 100 questions, and a score of 70 correct answers is required to pass. You may use your notes to complete the exam. Upon successful completion, you will receive an email notifying you that you earned the certification. In addition, you will receive a congratulatory letter and certificate via mail.
