FAQ

Do I need a state-approved pre-licensing course?+
Most states — including North Dakota for the P&C producer license — let candidates study independently and sit for the exam without formal PLE. About 17 states do require state-approved PLE; in those states you'd need to take a separate PLE course in addition to this exam prep. Check your state's Department of Insurance for specific rules.
How does my access work?+
After purchase, you're enrolled immediately. Log in at any time from any device — laptop, tablet, or phone. Your progress syncs automatically. Access doesn't expire.
What if I fail the real exam?+
Retake the real exam through your state's exam vendor (typically Pearson VUE or PSI). Pay the exam fee again, schedule, and sit again. Your course stays with you the whole time — review the sections you missed and try again. If the course itself disappoints, contact us within 7 days of purchase for a full refund.
Is this course approved by the state?+
For exam prep in states that don't require state-approved pre-licensing education, no provider approval is required — and that's exactly what this course delivers. We do have CE filings pending with the Texas and South Carolina Departments of Insurance; CE bundles publish once those approvals are issued. Course-by-course status for your specific state is listed in the badge above.
Can I get a refund?+
Yes. Within 7 days of purchase and before you've completed more than 25% of the course or started the final exam, you can request a full refund. Email support@theelitecompany.com with your order number. Refunds process to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.
