  • Prep Review Course: This part of the training scales down content to focus solely on the most important material with weighted sections identical to the state exam. Chapters have only a few pages of material, but the content must be mastered to pass. Instructionally designed to teach individuals how to pass, most study effort should be invested here. Chapter exams are substantially larger (50+ questions), providing exposure to the types of questions seen on the state exam. 
  • Exam Simulator: These special exams are designed to gauge content retention levels. Important: Only take the Exam Simulators after the Prep Review Course has been successfully completed. It ensures these questions will be “fresh in the mind.” 
• On the day of testing, you must have the following items: 
  
  • A valid government issued photo id bearing your signature. 
  • Certificate of completion – An electronic version or hard copy will be accepted. 

• After passing the examination use the kiosk at the PSI test site to complete your license application online through NIPR www.nipr.com or SIRCON www.sircon.com/pennsylvania

Agents holding a Major Lines license (Property, Casualty, Personal Lines, Accident & Health, Life or Variable Products) are required to renew their license by the last day of their birth month every two years.

The Pennsylvania Department of Insurance requires specific training requirements for individual agents selling, soliciting, or negotiating Long-Term Care products (LTC), Flood Insurance products (NFIP), and Annuity products (Annuity). Failing to complete the required training may jeopardize the agent’s authority to sell the related insurance products. 

• Life or Accident & Health licensees must complete an approved 8-hour Long-term Care course before selling, soliciting, or negotiating long-term care insurance. 
• Agents must also complete an approved 4-hour LTC refresher course every renewal period to continue selling, soliciting, or negotiating long-term care insurance.

• Non-resident agents may complete these training requirements in any state.

• Licensees may take courses in any line of authority. 
• Self-study exams are closed book and do require a monitor/proctor.
