PA Pre-Licensing requirements
Individuals desiring to become insurance producers must complete 24 hours of pre-licensing education (PLE) to be eligible to take the licensing examination. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
- You can take any approved PLE course or courses totaling 24 hours with at least three hours of ethics. IA&B has two approved courses for PLE: one for P&C and one for L&H. Both also serve as an exam preparation course.
- PLE is a one time requirement and is necessary for those individuals not currently licensed who are preparing to take their first licensing exam.
- To add additional lines of authority you need only to take and pass the exam for that line.
- Current insurance producers -- desiring to take an exam to add a line of authority to their license -- are exempt from PLE. Print a copy of your current license to provide as proof of your exemption from the PLE requirement when you go to the exam center.
