Connecticut Insurance Training & Educational Courses

Connecticut law requires that anyone who sells insurance products in the state must have successfully completed an insurance license exam. The insurance license exam can be difficult and will require a commitment of time in order to complete. ITA America is here to help by offering quality insurance license training courses designed to pass the exam on the first try. ITA America provides insurance training in life, health, property/casualty and securities. All available online and accessible 24/7! ITA America also provides dozens of online continuing education courses in Connecticut for licensed insurance agents who need to complete their CE requirements to renew their license.

Not every visitor to our website has made a commitment to a career in insurance. ITA America believes that online assessment tools will assist in determining if an insurance career is the right choice. ITA America developed PATHWAYS to help in the decision making process and to provide additional steps to success after licensing has been completed. Many of our monthly visitors are committed to a insurance career but are still undecided about which insurance company to go to work for. Let ITA America help you as we have many contacts with insurance recruiters in the community.

One of the goals of ITA America is to become a resource for the thousands of visitors who come to our site each month. We want to assist our students in choosing a career, we want to help them get through licensing and we want to help them find the best insurance company to contract with. If you are an insurance industry or an insurance company recruiter and would like information on how we can assist you in making your recruiting goals please give us a call or send us an email.

Continuing Education FAQ

How are my CE course credits reported to the state insurance department?: It varies by state. Some states require that we report directly to the insurance department and other states want us to report to the approved state vendor. Still other states allow the student to print off a certificate of completion and report your own. You can see the requirements for your state by going back to the state home page.
I am licensed in several states, how is my CE reported in those states?: Every state contributes to a reciprocal agreement for continuing education. This means that once your CE is reported to the state of your resident license, then all states are considered to have been notified.
When will my completed courses be reported?: We report all courses by the next business day.
