This course prepares students to meet the educational requirements to obtain a personal lines insurance producer license in Oregon and is approved by the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation.

Each unit is further divided into chapters. At the end of each chapter, a review exercise will test the student's comprehension of the chapter topic.

In order to demonstrate competency in each unit and to earn the course completion certificate, the student will need to obtain a final examination score equivalent to a "C" (75% or better).
