Pre-License Insurance Courses
As per Illinois State Law of July 23, 2021, the 7.5 hour classroom requirement for pre-licensing lines is allowed to be completed by live webinar. You can attend the mandatory 7.5 hours from anywhere in the world, and the 12.5 hours are completed via self study by completing our online exercises in the Student Porta.
IBA (Illinois Broker Academy Inc) is, Illinois’s best pre-licensing classroom instruction school, and is headed by our CEo who is an attorney and a CPA. IBA offers its own current online insurance content that is concise, to-the-point, and is designed for you to pass the insurance exam on the first attempt.
Your Insurance Training Made Easy
We offer courses in all four main lines: Life, Health, Property and Casualty.
We also offer our students the ExamBeaters software, which is our proprietary pre-licensing simulated online exam database and has hundreds of real insurance exam questions. ExamBeaters allows our students to enhance learning strengths and target any weakness to overcome them. With unparalleled classroom instruction and simulated online insurance exam testing, IBA offers you the best insurance prep in the world.
Focused Training That Suits Your Learning Style
During the daytime online webinar classes, our students receive specific, concise and targeted information for their insurance license training. By night, you can sharpen your skills online via our Insurance Student Portal by receiving immediate feedback to eliminate testing and concept weaknesses. The ExamBeaters pre-licensing simulated online insurance exam ensures you know exactly what is needed.
Each line of insurance (Life, Acc. and Health, Property and Casualty) requires successfully completing a certified 20 hour pre-licensing course, 7.5 hours of which must be obtained through classroom instruction and for which we offer the insurance webinars.
How Do Our Insurance Courses Work?
Students will complete their pre-licensing course by first attending a webinar online class through IBA and then by passing their non-supervised exam course final which can be done with our ExamBeaters software. Our online exam allows the student time to review materials and find answers while learning key concepts, and you can take this online exam as many times as it is needed for you to pass and feel prepared.
The online exam is scored by our software algorithm after the student enters their answers at our website for immediate scoring and course completion. One you achieve a passing score of 70% or greater, you will immediately receive an email with your course completion letter. This completion letter will allow you to register and sit for the official Illinois insurance producer exam.
ExamBeaters Insurance Exam Simulation Included
ExamBeaters has short quizzes for specific subject areas and full simulated exams. Successful completion of a full simulated ExamBeaters exam earns your completion letter which is immediately sent to your email inbox.
Registration and Early Bird Discounts
Early registration and payment is encouraged so that you can be assured a space in the scheduled online webinar insurance class. Our registration system is designed so that you can log into the Student Portal and start preparing for the webinar right away. On the day of the webinar, you will be well acquainted with the concepts that will be covered in detail.
Note: You will have ONE YEAR to complete your pre-licensing course and have your producer license in hand from the date you attend class.
All pre-licensing programs are available for “in-house” training if your group is of sufficient minimum size. We can also show you how to use our method to hold pre-licensing classes at your company or agency with your own instructor that we train.
All instructors must meet the requirements as specified under Illinois law.
Is Self Study allowed for the entire 20 hours?
Full self study to complete pre-licensing is no longer allowed as of January 1, 2010 in Illinois and 7.5 hours of classroom instruction, per line, is mandatory. You can complete these 7.5 hours through our webinars.
