1. Complete a Prelicensing Course

If you would like to sell insurance in Connecticut, you must complete an approved line of prelicensing education and pass the state licensing exam.
View Courses

To satisfy the requirements for your course, you will need to pass a Certification Exam.  The Certification Exam is not monitored.  After passing the Certification Exam with a 70% or greater, you will receive a Certificate of Completion. Prelicensing education is valid for one year from the date of completion; you will need to take and pass your state exam within this timeframe. Connecticut requires you to present your Certificate of Completion at your licensing exam.
