Code Ann. §§ 38-57-10 et seq.) and South Carolina Department of Insurance discipline (S.C. Code Ann. Title 38, ch. 43; § 38-43-130) — with lesson knowledge checks, a final exam, a certificate, and CE reported to the Department through SBS.
Acceptance responsibility
There is no single national approval body for this type of education course. If a court, officer, employer, school, or agency assigned the course, confirm that they accept an online certificate course before paying or relying on completion.
Before-purchase review materials
Students can share the course name, 4 hours / 240 minutes length, curriculum preview, published price, education-only boundaries, and verification details before paying.
Education-only boundary
This course is not pre-licensing and does not qualify you to sit for a South Carolina licensing exam; it is post-license continuing education only. It is closed to enrollment, payment, and certificates until the South Carolina Department of Insurance issues written course approval.
Course timing
The course requires 4 hours / 240 minutes total. Lessons are completed online in sequence, and active course time is measured before the certificate can be issued.
Certificate requirements
A certificate is available after the student completes the course sequence, satisfies identity and seat-time controls, and passes the final review.
Bilingual access
The public information and core learning path are available in English and Spanish.
Price-match review
The posted tuition is $24.99. If a student finds a lower current public price for a comparable online certificate course, the request can be reviewed for a price match before purchase.
Support route
Support is handled by FAQ and email. A public phone number is not displayed unless a controlling rule requires one.
