Pending NY DFS prelicensing

New York Life Agent/Broker Prelicensing (20-Hour)

This 20-hour internet self-study prelicensing course is prepared for New York State Department of Financial Services (NY DFS) provider registration and course approval under NYIL Article 21 and 11 NYCRR Part 33. Enrollment, payment, certificates, completion reporting, and any New York prelicensing-credit claims remain closed until written NY DFS approval is on file.

Audience

New York Life-only Agent/Broker candidates

After NY DFS approval, this course is intended for New York resident producer candidates pursuing the Life-only Agent/Broker license. Until written approval is posted, students who need credit must use a provider already accepted by NY DFS.

Certificates

No New York credit before written approval

Certificate templates, completion-reporting workflows, and Sircon-style export controls are staged, but official certificates, completion reporting, and any New York prelicensing-credit claim stay disabled until written NY DFS approval is received and the course is intentionally opened. NYIL § 2102 prohibits acting as an insurance producer in New York for compensation without an active NY DFS-issued license.

Planned course scope

20-hour DFS credit-hour package, 4 sequential lessons

Delivery follows the 11 NYCRR Part 33 internet self-study structure: sequential lessons, active seat-time tracking on every lesson, identity verification, embedded knowledge checks, final-exam affidavit, and a randomized 75-question proctored final with 70% passing score per NY DFS prelicensing standards.

5 full-length practice exams included - PSI Series 17-51-style format

Practice as many times as you want before your New York state exam. Each practice exam draws from 1,500+ Life Agent/Broker questions and mirrors the 75-question / 120-minute PSI Series 17-51-style layout. Available even after you pass your course final exam.

Each practice exam has 75 different questions. Take all 5 to maximize coverage before your real PSI Series 17-51 exam.

  • 5 distinct, blueprint-aligned 75-question practice exams - no overlap between attempts
  • Same screen layout, navigation, timer, mark-for-review, and answer-review you will see on PSI test day
  • Unlimited random-sample practice from the full 1,500-question bank — one of the largest NY DFS prelicensing question banks we publish, with more practice items per dollar than the typical NY DFS prelicensing competitor
