Steps To Success

Step 1 – Introduction to Insurance

All four modules must be completed prior to registering for your licensing study course.

Step 2 – Licensure

Although Licensure is a single step in the 5-step program, it will likely take you the longest simply due to the time needed to adequately prepare for the state licensing exam. This is the only part of the process that is instructor facilitated and not on-demand.

Step 2.1 –

Register for your webinar or classroom licensing study course. The cost of the licensing study course is included in your ICCP registration fee. Register for your webinar or classroom licensing study course. The cost of the licensing study course is included in your ICCP registration fee.

When you registered for ICCP, you should have received a coupon code in your confirmation email, as well as a study guide that was mailed to you. Use this coupon code when registering for a licensing study webinar or in-person course. If you can’t find it or need assistance, please call 800-998-9644, option 1 or education@IABforME.com. Our team will be happy to help you. Please note that core operating hours for staff are Mon – Fri, 8:30AM to 4:30PM.

Please schedule your course date so you have at least 4 weeks to complete the pre-study prior to the course date. It is imperative that you give yourself this time to study as the class/webinar is the final step in the exam preparation.

Step 2.2 –

Begin the pre-study. Take the time to review all the introductory material in the licensing manual. The blue and green sections include important information on how to study and about the exam process. Most importantly, there is a recommended study schedule provided. The study schedule breaks the content into manageable pieces to allow you the best opportunity to absorb the information.

Step 2.3 –

Take notes and highlight any areas that are unclear. Make a note of any questions you have. Then, you will know exactly what to ask when you get to class!

Step 2.4 –

We recommend that you take the exam 3-5 days following the three-day course. This allows you time for final studying but not so much time that you begin to forget information. You should have your exam scheduled prior to attending the three-day course so you can get your preferred location, date, and time.

Step 2.5 –

Attend your licensing webinar or classroom course. Full attendance at the three-day program is required to earn your completion certificate. This certificate allows you to sit for the state licensing exam and is a necessity for the Insuring Careers Certification Program.

Step 2.6 –

Take the exam! It’s time – you’ve done the work, and now you will see it all come together!

Step 2.7 –

You’ve passed the exam! Congratulations! If you were unsuccessful in passing your exam, don’t worry. Contact Sue Zvorsky at suez@iabforme.com or 800-998-9644, ext. 206, and she will be happy to assist you.
