How to pass the Georgia Insurance Licensing Exam

Tara we are here to help! Please give us a call and we can chat about your best steps moving forward. We have had students come to us who’ve spent a similar amount of their resources trying to pass the exam and we successfully helped them pass!

Hi Kierson, Technically if you fail the exam 3 times after using one pre-licensing provider you are supposed to take another approved course before testing again. Have you purchased/completed a new course yet? 69% is very close to passing so you don’t have far to go. Maybe give us a call and we can chat some more. 😉

Shouldn’t be an issue at all. They just want to make sure a certificate get’s submitted.

Hi Daniel, Most of our students end up with both sets of licenses, Property Casualty (PC) and Life Health (LH). Health is also called Accident & Sickness in Georgia or Disability in other states. We usually recommend students get their PC license and then come back and get their Life and Health license. In general everyone needs some form of PC insurance (home, auto, renters, etc.) but not everyone is required to purchase Life insurance. But if the company you go to work for has a preference on what license you get, you’ll get that license! 😉 As far as… Read more »

Hello Marcy, You will need to take an 40-hour approved Georgia Property and Casualty pre-licensing course. The course will prepare you to take your Property and Casualty exam with Pearson VUE. Please give us a call if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day!

Hello Lupe, We don’t usually see students have a problem with misdemeanors when it comes to getting their insurance license. To be sure though, you can contact the insurance licensing department (404-656-2101) and go through the steps of getting pre-screened. That way you won’t go through the process of passing the exam and potentially getting denied a license by the state. Good luck!

Hello Ashley, You will usually go to work for an insurance company to gain some experience and then make the decision of whether you want to, or can, open your own insurance agency. Many of the larger captive insurance companies have opportunities and programs for agents to work into getting their own agency. Asking your own insurance agent is a great way to find out how to get started in the industry. They will most likely have some great pointers. Good luck!

Hello Rama, After you have a resident license in Georgia you will apply for non-resident licenses in the other states you wish to do business in. Most states have a reciprocal agreement and won’t make you take an exam, but pay a fee. You will want to check on a state by state basis with the insurance licensing departments to see what their specific requirements are. Good luck! Please let us know if we can help you get your GA LAS license.

Hello Cartresia, You will need a valid certificate of course completion for a GA Property and Casualty course when applying for an Adjuster license (after passing the Adjuster exam). Certificates are only good for 1 year so it sounds like you need to take another approved course to get another certificate. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Jasmine, Unfortunately you will need to take another approved Georgia Property and Casualty course to fulfill the Adjuster pre-licensing requirement. You will need a valid certificate of completion (good for one year) to complete the licensing process. We include the specific Adjuster and Public Adjuster material in our GA Adjuster Pre-License Course that covers the extra Adjuster questions on the Adjuster exams. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Good luck!

Hello William, You are probably looking for an Accident and Sickness (Health) license to compliment your Life license. Here is a link to our 20-hour approved Georgia Accident Sickness course. Please give us a call if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day.

Hello Debra, Usually your fingerprints are good for a year. If you got your license more than a year ago you will most likely have to re-fingerprint.

Hello Mr Cooper, The first place to start is getting your Adjuster license. We provided a great course to help prepare for the Adjuster licensing exam. Please give us a call if you have any questions. Thanks and have a great day!

Hello T, No you are not allowed to use notes during the licensing exam. They will usually give you a whiteboard and marker to use while taking the exam though.

It will cost you $63 to take the Life Agent exam with Pearson VUE in Georgia. You will need at least 70% to pass the exam. Be sure to take a Georgia state approved 20-hour Life course to prepare you for the exam and fulfill your pre-licensing education requirement. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Hello Angeleana, I’m not exactly sure what would disqualify you. Your best bet would be to call and ask the Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner’s Agent Licensing Department (GA) (404-656-2101 or 800-656-2298). They usually have a process you can go through to get pre-qualified so that you don’t go through the pre-licensing course process only to then find out you are not eligible for a license. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Hello Theresa, Here is a link to our Georgia Property and Casualty License Course. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Your certificates of completion are good for one year from completion. That mean that you have to pass your licensing exam and apply for your license within the one year period. If you go beyond the year you’ll have to start over with a course and get new certificates of completion. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Hi Derwin, To sell insurance you would need to also get your Property and Casualty (PC) Producer (Agent) license by passing the PC exam. Our course prepares students for the Adjuster, Public Adjuster and PC Producer exams. Keep in mind, most adjuster companies will not allow you to hold an active Producer license while you are adjusting as it’s seen as a conflict of interest. There may be exceptions on the public adjuster side so be sure to ask the public adjusting company you are going to work for if there are any issues. Good luck!

Hello Patryce, The steps are: Prepare with a good quality course (like ours 🙂 ) then sign up for the exam and background check. Pass the exam and apply for your license. If you call in we can go over in more detail if you would like. Thanks!

Hello Kirsten, Your certificate of completion and Pearson VUE exam pass results are good for 1 year. Good luck!

Hello Tiffany, Pretest questions are not graded and you will not know which questions are pretest questions unfortunately. Good luck!

Hello Hishonda, Our Georgia courses are approved courses to prepare you for the licensing exam in Georgia. Everyone has to take an approved course and everyone has to take the insurance licensing exam at a Pearson VUE test center. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Hi Sharon, So if you were looking at a PC course ($159), Life course ($125), fingerprint/background check fee ($51), Pearson VUE testing fee for the PC exam ($63) and for the Life exam ($63), plus the Georgia application/license fee for PC license ($115) and Life license ($115) you would be about $700 into your licenses when all said and done. The costs for each license get kind of split up into thirds. Most of our students will complete the process for PC then come back and start over with Life (usually Life & Health actually). You would purchase your first… Read more »

Hello Aida,
Most of our students going to work for State Farm or Allstate are usually going to get their Property and Casualty (PC) license first, then follow up with a Life, Accident and Health License. So, first start by completing a GA PC course, pass your licensing exam, complete the back ground check and then apply for your license. Please give us a call if you have any other questions. Good luck!

Hello Jennifer! Accident & Sickness is the same as Health, it’s just what Georgia calls it. 😉 So yes, LAS includes both Life and Health (combo course). Please give us a call if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day.

Hi Brooke, We offer great customer support with our courses. If you would like to give us a try, since you have to complete a new course after 3 failures, please give us a call at 1-800-870-3130.

Hi Christopher, Our course would prepare you to take either exam but… most Adjuster can not hold a P&C Agent/Producer license because it can cause a conflict of interest situation. Most insurance companies wouldn’t want you to adjust a claim for them with the possibility of you pushing your own insurance policies on their customers. I have seen P&C Agents/Producers have their Adjuster license (and not use it) but usually Adjusters have to retire or put their P&C Agent/Producer license on inactive status. Good luck!

Hi Danielle, All of our courses come with printed text books. Each course has a course includes section which should also state that information. Are you looking at the Georgia PC course? Please let us know if you have any other question.

Hello Tam, Are you inquiring about getting an Adjuster license? If so, I think most Adjusters are independent contractor types that work with heavily during storm season in areas hit hard by storms but then the rest of the year work with Independent Adjuster firms. Adjusters sign up to be on these firm’s rosters to be called when an adjustment is needed. You might want to get in touch with an Adjuster to pick their brain about real world application. Terry Freeland at AI Tech Institute might be a good contact for you too. Good luck!

Hi Amber, Usually there isn’t an education requirement to get your license but often the Insurance Company hiring you will have an education requirement.

Hello Yamuna, Pretest questions are just trial questions and do not count towards your score. You will not know what questions are real or pre-test questions when taking your exam. It’s very possible the pre-test questions will not even be covered in the Test Content Outline. It’s very important to know that these pre-test questions will be in your exam so you don’t start second guessing yourself when you see a question that you have no idea how to answer (make your best guess and stay calm!). Good luck!

Hi Funmi, They are not the same. If you are talking about practice exams sold by the testing centers, usually the questions used in their practice exams are retired questions from the actual exam bank on questions. You may pick up some similar wording and use of terminology though. We use questions purely to verify what students know, and don’t know, content wise. There is a lot of content you can be tested on from various angles so it’s important to really know the content!

Hello Adreana, Our P&C course is the only course you need. It will work for both the Adjuster or Producer license. If you already have a Property & Casualty license with a certificate that is still good, you could just test. If your certificate isn’t good, you will need to retake an approved course. Please give us a call if you have any other questions as it can be confusing. Thanks and have a great day!

Hi Tia! Sorry to hear that you didn’t pass your exam. If I were you, I’d call your content provider and ask them to go over your fail sheet. Hopefully you can better hone in on what areas you are weak in and hopefully answer what questions you have from the areas you remember. If you are in need of a great Georgia course please let us know. Good luck!

Hi Matt, Be sure to call the Department of Insurance in Georgia when transferring your license but I don’t think you will need to retest as long as you follower their transfer procedure. Good luck!

Hi Purvette, We have heard about the delay as well but were told they are getting through their backlog quickly. I know they were have fold resubmit all of their documents again. Here’s a link to the notice our students have been seeing: https://home.pearsonvue.com/ga/insurance Good luck!
