ICCP focuses on developing agents who focus on property and casualty insurance, also known as P&C insurance. P&C insurance includes insurance like auto, homeowners, business, cyber liability, etc. This program is for people who want to work in the insurance industry in PA, MD, and DE.

How does the program work?

  • It’s online & flexible – you can work around your schedule and at your own pace.
  • You have up to 6 months to complete the program, but it can be completed sooner.
  • You have access to an experienced educational team that can answer questions and provide support.
The program first introduces you to what insurance is, the different types of insurance, the different parties involved in the insurance agreements, and the vocabulary essential to understanding insurance.

Using the new information and vocabulary that you learned in the first stage of ICCP, you will begin preparing for the state property & casualty licensing exam. The exam prep will help you feel confident and ready to pass the test and become an agent. Anyone who “sells, solicits or negotiates contracts of insurance” needs to become licensed. ICCP includes a licensing exam preparation course in a live classroom and webinar (PA Only) and self-study (PA, MD, and DE).

After passing the state licensing exam, you will dig deeper into the technical side of insurance by learning the different policies, practicing application in real life scenarios and building the business and communication skills needed to be successful.

After completing the program, you will discover insurance agencies ready to hire! If you do not have a current job after completing the program, we will help connect you with hiring insurance agencies.
