Remote courses are text courses, entirely online with short videos embedded in the course, and are backed up by live webcasts and support from instructors. In-person courses are taught live at our Tampa location. All courses are supported by a video library and practice tests. The complete video library is up to 12.5 hours of video content depending on the course, and the practice tests are built from a test bank of over 1200 practice test questions.

The Department of Financial Services makes all of those decisions and does not allow us to advise you in that department.  Generally speaking, once the DFS has your application and fingerprints, if they see anything in your background they usually want some kind of paperwork, just as proof of adjudication or other pertinent documentation.  Whether or not you will be allowed to get the insurance license is entirely up to them, and they will not consider it until they have your state application and fingerprints.  You are always welcome to call them at 850-413-3134 with additional questions.

Yes, you have to be a Florida resident to be issued a Florida insurance license.  If you already have an insurance license in another state, your state may be reciprocal with Florida.  You can check your reciprocity here.
