Get started today by registering for the Insuring Careers Certification Program (ICCP). There’s no program like it.
ICCP gives you the foundation and basic tools to enter this dynamic and growing industry.
ICCP is designed for those new to the industry, breaking down the complex world of insurance into manageable segments. The curriculum covers insurance basics but also hones your business soft skills. You’ll learn key terms and definitions, best practices, insurance topics, different types of insurance, and how an insurance policy is written. By the end of the program, you’ll be able to speak the language of insurance confidently!
ICCP focuses on developing agents who focus on property and casualty insurance, also known as P&C insurance. P&C insurance includes insurance like auto, homeowners, business, cyber liability, etc. This program is for people who want to work in the insurance industry in PA, MD, and DE.

How Does the Certification Program Work?
-
It’s online & flexible – Students can work at their own pace.
-
Students have up to 6 months to complete the program, but it can be completed sooner.
-
Students have access to an experienced educational team that can answer questions and provide support.
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. ICCP includes a licensing exam preparation course in a live classroom and webinar (PA Only) and self-study (PA, MD, and DE).
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.
Earning an Insuring Careers Certification is a great accomplishment! If you are searching for a job after completing the program, IA&B will help connect you to hiring independent agencies.
