STEP 2 – Study

You have 4 months from the date you receive your scholarship to study and prepare for the course. As the course is in video format, it is easy to study at your own pace and review the information as often as you’d like until you feel comfortable in what you know.

The video course is approximately 400 minutes, so meeting the 4 month target will be a breeze (that’s approximately 20 minutes a week)*!

*We know you want to start your career as soon as possible and start your quest towards global domination, so we do recommend studying a bit more each week.

STEP 4 – Register for the exam

STEP 9 – Now that you are an insurance broker….

Now that you are a fully-fledged insurance professional, each year you must take a few courses to keep up-to-date with the latest knowledge about what’s going on. This is called “continuing education”. This is typical of many professionals (doctors, financial, real estate etc). Speak with your manager at the office you work at and they can help point you in the right direction for your continuing education.

Most insurance professionals take continuing education courses online with ilscorp.com as it is the easiest and most efficient way to learn. Each course is about 2 hours long and you have a whole year to do this. There are no big exams that you have to write, just short multiple choice questions at the end of each online course. Over 22,000 people take courses with us and we are the largest online course providers in the country, so we know the biz.
