  • Both the Property & Casualty and Life & Health Licensing Study courses and self-study products are approved for 24 hours of pre-licensing education (PLE) credit in Pennsylvania.  The PLE credits are valid for one year and you must pass the state licensing exam within that timeframe in order for the PLE credits to be applied.  It is important, however, to remember that the Pennsylvania P&C self-study product is based on the Property & Casualty combined exam and the L&H self-study product is based on the Life, Accident & Health combined exam.
