The course was easy to complete and when I ran in to a problem finishing on time they graciously gave me a 60 day extension.

I’ve used you guys in the past for my life insurance exam, excellent classes and instruction. This time was tougher since the exam in my state was changed recently and it looks like they didn’t give you much notice on the changes. I appreciate your efforts with the addendums and additional information to help out with the new exam.
I am now signing up again (my third class with you) for my health license.
Thank you for the excellent training!

I have had a great experience with AP and enjoyed the video sessions with Jack!
The team graciously extended my access to the course upon request when Covid-19 wrecked havoc to all scheduled course in Virginia. I am deeply grateful for the experience. I could not have done it without team AP! I passed both courses thanks to you!
Thank you!!

Many thanks to Americas Professor (Jack), for an awesome tutorial and practice sessions. Two days after the completion of my sessions, I took the VA Life, Annuities & Health and passed. Your style of presentation was impeccable and the materials covered made an impact on my licensing exams result. Brave Jack, I’ll surely recommend American Professor to anyone pursuing an Insurance career licensing.

Hello Jack. Thank you for all that you do in training and preparing everyone including myself. The coarse is well thought out and easy to comprehend. I passed my P&C exam on the first try. I will recommend this program in the future.

America’s Professor is simply & uniquely designed to get you past the first hurdle of your licensing process…getting the license. The material Jack presents is remarkably familiar to what you’ll find on the exam. While there may be benefit in just reading the material or just watching the video, doing both will solidify the concepts and remove unnecessary stress when you sit for the exam.
Their support staff was ALWAYS immediately available the few times I called. Using Pearson Vue for my state exam proctor was a good deal more painful than necessary, but AP certainly helped connect the dots when Pearson was unable.
Videos will take some time to watch but honestly, if you follow Jack’s direction, you’ll be well prepared. My State Exam was 40% of my test…don’t forget to prepare for that small portion appropriately.

I took my exam today and passed. Signing up for American Professor was the best decision ever. His videos are great. The real life examples and scenarios were right on points. The practice exams were great and extremely helpful. I did it and thanks to you

How to Pass Your Virginia Insurance Exam
Knowledge is the key to passing your insurance exam, and you’re in good hands with America’s Professor. We have decades of experience teaching students just like you. Our comprehensive courses are designed to be engaging, interesting, and informative to help you retain the information. Whether you want to sell life and annuities insurance or your goal is to become a licensed property & casualty insurance agent, America’s Professor can help.
There are no shortcuts to learning the information—no CliffsNotes or quick-study guides. Knowing the information inside and out and reviewing the materials up until the day of your insurance exam is the best way to ensure you pass with flying colors.
Here are the 3 main steps to becoming a licensed insurance agent:
- Prepare: Enrolling in a quality pre-licensing course is your first step once you’ve decided which license you want to obtain. America’s Professor offers comprehensive courses that provide you with everything you’ll need to know to pass your exam.
- Pass: The next step is passing your state licensing exam. Each state has its own licensing requirements, and you must obtain a resident producer license in the state of Virginia in order to sell policies or even discuss insurance transactions.
- Apply: Once you pass your insurance exam with a score of 70 or better you can formally apply for your insurance license and begin working!
Exams & Scoring
Virginia offers several different exams, including: life, annuities & health, property & casualty, personal lines, title insurance, and public adjusters.
You will need a score of 70 to pass, but note that each exam consists of two parts: a general knowledge section, and a state-specific section. You will need a score of 70 or greater on each section—the two scores are not averaged. For more information about the number of questions on the exams and locations where you can take the test, click here.
Exam Registration, Testing Centers, Licensing Application Fees and Fingerprinting
- Registration: You must register for the exam by calling Pearson VUE (the testing company) at 1-888-204-6272; it’s a good idea to call at least 3 days in advance of the date you plan to take the exam to ensure you secure a spot.
- Testing Centers: There are several test centers throughout the state of Virginia and neighboring states where you can take your exam. Find a test center near you on this page.
- Licensing Fees: The licensing exam fee is $51; you may take up to two exams for that fee. If you need to retake any portion of the exam, the fee is the same (an additional $51). Once you’ve passed your exam you must apply for your license. All license types have a non-refundable application fee of $15, except for the public adjuster license, which has a fee of $250. You can submit your application request either through NIPR (National Insurance Producer Registry) or Vertafore (formerly Sircon).
- Fingerprinting: There is no fingerprinting requirement, however, the licensing application will ask several background check questions. Should you answer “yes” to any of those questions, a more in-depth process will be required.
