Curriculum: Indiana Accident & Health Insurance Only Prelicensing (20-Hour)

4 sequential lessons, 20 hours total. Delivered as internet self-study with sequential lesson navigation, seat-time enforcement, embedded knowledge checks, and an 85-question Pearson-VUE-style course final requiring 70% to pass.

Final exam and licensure path

Internal final exam: randomized 95 questions, 120-minute time limit, 70% passing score, answer-option shuffling on every attempt. Indiana DOES require the Pearson VUE Indiana Accident & Health state licensing examination (approximately 85 scored items, 2-hour, 70% passing) AFTER satisfactory completion of this approved 20-hour prelicensing course. After passing the state exam, candidates submit a license application via Sircon/NIPR, complete fingerprint background screening, and obtain an appointment from an Indiana-authorized A&H insurer before transacting accident and health insurance.
