Every way to qualify

More than one route leads to this license, and which one you take changes what you study and whether you sit the exam. They are listed in full because the course is only the first of them.

  1. Route 1 Take the 20-hour course

    State exam required

    • 20 hours of pre-licensing education for the Personal Lines line, approved by the Department

    Every Mississippi pre-licensing course carries an examination of its own, separate from the state examination, and the provider has five business days to report the result.

  2. Route 2 Hold a bachelor's degree with major coursework in insurance

    State exam required

    • A degree in insurance

    Miss. Code Ann. 83-17-251(2)(b): a bachelor's degree with major coursework in insurance from an accredited institution of higher learning. It exempts the course and not the examination.

  3. Route 3 Hold one of the 4 designations the statute names for this line

    State exam required

    • AAI Accredited Advisor in Insurance, from the Insurance Institute of America

    • or

      ARM Associate in Risk Management, from the Insurance Institute of America

    • or

      CIC Certified Insurance Counselor, from The National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research

    • or

      CPCU Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter, from the Insurance Institute of America

    Miss. Code Ann. 83-17-251(2)(e), and the designation has to be current and valid. It exempts the course and not the examination. The paragraph says "the property and casualty lines of authority" rather than naming personal lines, and personal lines is one of them, which is the reading taken here.

  4. Route 4 Be exempt from the written examination

    Exempt from the state exam

    • An exemption from the written examination under Miss. Code Ann. sections 83-17-39(1) or 83-17-67

    Miss. Code Ann. 83-17-251(2)(a) hangs the education exemption on the examination one: anybody excused the written examination by those two sections is excused the twenty hours with it. The two sections are not transcribed here, so this route says what 83-17-251 says about them and no more.
