This 20-hour internet self-study prelicensing course is prepared for Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) provider authorization under OAC 3901-5-06 and course approval under OAC 3901-5-07. Enrollment, payment, certificates, completion reporting, and any Ohio prelicensing-credit claim remain closed until written ODI provider authorization and course-specific written approval are on file.
After OH DOI approval, this course is intended for Ohio resident producer candidates pursuing the Personal Lines line of authority — a narrower authority limited to personal homeowners, dwelling, personal auto, and personal umbrella products. Until written approval is posted, students who need credit must use a provider already authorized by ODI.
Certificate templates and ODI Gateway-style export controls are staged, but official certificates, completion reporting, and any Ohio prelicensing-credit claim stay disabled until written ODI provider authorization and course-specific written approval are received and the course is intentionally opened. ORC 3905.01 et seq. prohibits acting as an Ohio insurance agent without an active ODI-issued license.
Delivery follows the OAC 3901-5-07(F) internet self-study structure: sequential lessons with forced progression, active seat-time tracking, identity verification, embedded knowledge checks, final-exam affidavit, and a randomized 75-question course final exam with 70% passing score. Coverage includes Ohio HO/DP forms, Lake Erie shoreline windstorm/flood considerations, federal NFIP overlay, Ohio Personal Auto Policy with ORC Chapter 4509 financial responsibility and SR-22-equivalent filings.

The public page is intentionally approval-dependent. It documents readiness without suggesting that the course is already approved, open, or usable for an Ohio licensing requirement.
