ICCP Is Developed by a Leader in Insurance Education
ICCP is develop by the Insurance Agents & Brokers (IA&B) – the premier resource and champion for independent insurance agencies across PA, MD, and DE. These agencies are actively seeking motivated individuals with strong communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and a desire to help others. To meet this need, IA&B created ICCP. IA&B has received awards for providing exceptional education in the field of insurance.
The program first introduces you to what insurance is, the different types of insurance, the different parties involved in the insurance agreements, and the vocabulary essential to understanding insurance.
Using the new information and vocabulary taught in the first stage of ICCP, you will begin preparing for the state property & casualty licensing exam. The exam prep will help you feel confident and ready to pass the test and become an agent. Anyone who “sells, solicits or negotiates contracts of insurance” needs to become licensed.
After passing the state licensing exam, you’ll dig deeper into the technical side of insurance by learning the different policies, practicing application in real life scenarios and building the business and communication skills needed to be successful.
