To obtain a license to enable an individual to market insurance policies in Illinois, the law requires that an applicant for licensing must comply with the following conditions:

1) Be at least 18 years of age   

2) Have a good business character and reputation         

3) Successfully complete a certified pre-licensing course

4) Pass the Illinois insurance exam

5) Pay a licensing fee  

At Dohrn Insurance Training, Inc. we offer certified pre-licensing courses in the following five licensing authorities:

1) Life - certified by the Illinois Department of Insurance for 15 hours of pre-licensing credit.  This license entitles the holder to sell such insurance contracts as all non-variable life insurance, universal life, whole life, term and annuities (non-variable).

2) Accident and Health - certified by the Illinois Department of Insurance for 15 hours of pre-licensing credit.  This license entitles the holder to sell such insurance contracts as medical expense, basic plans, disability income and long term care (in Illinois a 6 hour “Traditional Long Term Care” continuing education course to be allowed to sell long term care policies- see Continuing Education course descriptions for more details).           

3) Property - certified by the Illinois Department of Insurance for 15 hours of pre-licensing credit.  This license entitles the holder to sell such insurance contracts as Homeowners, Dwelling and Property, Flood Insurance and many forms of Business Property.

4) Casualty - certified by the Illinois Department of Insurance for 15 hours of pre-licensing credit.  This license entitles the holder to sell such insurance contracts as General Liability, Personal Liability, Automobile and Worker’s Compensation.  

5) Personal Lines - certified by the Illinois Department of Insurance for 25 hours of pre-licensing credit.  This license entitles the holder to sell all property and casualty contracts to individuals only, including dwelling, homeowners forms, flood insurance and automobile.  The Property and Casualty license includes the ability to market personal lines products, but the Personal Lines license will not allow the licensee to market property and casualty contracts related to commercial (business) lines sales.

Each Line is certified for 15 hours of credit and may be completed either by taking a ONE DAY seminar or completely by the self study method.  Dohrn Insurance Training offers both methods to you,  but most people choose the self study method.  Both methods require that the student successfully complete an open book multiple choice exam.  Our study guides and practice exam questions have helped over 20,000 Illinois residents become insurance producers!  Our materials are concise and follow precisely the Illinois state examination outline.  There simply is no easier,  more convenient or economically way to help you pass your licensing exam than to select the DOHRN method.  

Please note:  Illinois does not allow pre-licensing course credit to be utilized as continuing education credit.
