What are the Insurance Exam Prep education requirements for Ohio?

Individuals must complete a pre-licensing course of study for the lines of authority desired before taking any examination. The pre-licensing course must consist of 20 hours per line of authority on the general principles of insurance for that line of authority. The lines of authority requiring a pre-licensing course are as follows:
  • Life – 20 hours
  • Accident & Health or Sickness – 20 hours
  • Property – 20 hours
  • Casualty – 20 hours
  • Personal Lines – 20 hours

How to get an insurance license in Ohio

  1. Meet the general eligibility criteria
    • Be at least 18 years of age.
    • Be a resident of or have principal place of business in Ohio

  2. Complete required prelicensing education
    • Prepare for the Ohio State Exam by completing a pre-licensing course of study.
    • To satisfy the requirements for your course, you will need to pass a closed-book non-monitored Exam Prep Course Certification Exam with a 70% or greater.
    • When making a licensing exam reservation, applicants will be required to present your Certificate of Completion at your licensing exam. After passing the Exam Prep Course Certification Exam, your Certificate of Completion will be emailed to you.

  3. Register and pass state licensing exam
    • Make an exam reservation at psiexams.com or by calling (855) 807-3995.
    • Bring two forms of current signature identification (a valid driver’s license, non-driver ID, passport, military ID, or employee ID card, credit card) and your WebCE Certificate of Completion. Applicants may need to provide the WebCE pre-licensing provider school code: 7919 at the time of making their licensing exam reservation.
    • Candidates completing their Ohio Insurance exam via remote proctoring MUST email their pre-licensing certificate(s) or education waiver(s) to [email protected] within 24 hours of passing the exam. The Department is unable to process any license application without receipt of the valid PLE certificate(s). Therefore, failure to timely submit the PLE certificate(s) to [email protected] WILL delay the licensure process. 
    Before making an exam reservation applicants should thoroughly review the State of Ohio Licensing Candidate Handbook by clicking on the Student Handbook button above.


  4. Submit fingerprints
    • All first-time individual resident producer and adjuster applicants must be fingerprinted in order to become licensed
