• Extensive learning materials - The Oregon insurance license course is written by practicing insurance professionals. You will be fully trained to take the insurance licensing exam.

• Mobile Phone and Tablet Support - You don't have to just use your computer to study. You can also use your smartphone or tablet device!
• Exam prep module - The insurance licensing exam preparation course is included, containing hundreds of questions for each of the different lines of insurance. The study and testing guide covers the topics that you'll be tested on during the state licensing exam, and will give you feedback as to what question topics you may need to study before taking the state exam.

There are three styles of training packages available from OnlineEd: [Premier], [Standard], and [Basic]

• [Premier] insurance courses have all of the available features from OnlineEd. These course packages have the online training material, exam prep module, and audio mp3 files, yet they also come with supplementary textbooks of the course material for students who like to have a paper workbook to mark notes on. [Premier] course packages come with proactive instructor support, who will review each of your chapter quizzes and send you feedback on areas you may want to study. These insurance courses also have classroom prerecorded video segments at the end of each chapter, allowing you to view an actual class lecture from wherever you are.

  Please note that the textbooks are study guides; all course testing is still done online. The end-of-course final exam becomes available after you complete all of the online course content.

• [Standard] course packages contain the online course materials and video reviews, exam prep module, MP3 audio downloads, and certificate of completion. An instructor is available by telephone or email if you have questions or need additional clarification, but [Standard] does not include physical textbooks or proactive instructor support.

• [Basic] insurance courses contain the online course materials, exam prep modules, and the audio mp3 files. [Basic] courses do not come with a printed textbook, the lecture videos, or the instructor feedback on quizzes. Your course instructor will still available if you have questions about the learning materials.

The Oregon insurance license package you select should be based on your comfort level of the insurance industry. If you are completely new to the insurance field, the [Premier] package could be the most benefit to you. If you have some familiarity with insurance and won't need a proactive instructor to guide you through the course, the [Standard] might suit you the best. If you already work in the insurance industry and just need to complete education requirements to become licensed in Oregon, then the [Basic] package would be the best fit for you.

OnlineEd also offers a General Lines Insurance Adjuster study course to help candidates prepare for the Oregon general lines insurance adjuster licensing exam. Completing this course is not required by the Oregon Division of Financial Regulations to qualify for the insurance adjuster licensing exam.

If you have questions about which pre-license package will work best for you, please call our school office at 1-866-519-9597.
