All Lines: College Degrees in Insurance
Notes:
Applicants must attach copy of applicable designation/degree to their license application to qualify for exemption.
Successful completion of two college or university courses related to insurance in the lines of authority the applicant is applying for may also qualify for an exemption.
Any applicants who have not completed the licensing requirements within 12 months of passing the exam will be required to retake the exam.
Alternatively, passing Kaplan's Georgia Property & Casualty prelicensing course qualifies you to sit for the state adjuster exam. Please note, the Georgia Adjuster license is only valid in Georgia, whereas the Texas DHS Adjuster license qualifies you to produce in several additional states.
After completing your required prelicensing course, you must pass a state licensing exam. Kaplan’s prelicensing content is based directly on the Georgia licensing exams, so you will be prepared to pass the first time.
