How are modules formatted?

Modules are available in an interactive eLearning format and are accessible from any device with internet connection. 

Each module is broken down into lessons. Each lesson must be completed in its entirety and in sequential order. Lessons open in a separate browser window. If you close the window before completing the lesson, you’ll be brought back to the same section of the lesson when you return. 

After completing the module in its entirety, a Completion Certificate will be available to print or download. Note: When printing, we recommend you open "More Settings," then check the box for "Background graphics" to ensure the best quality. 

Can I get a printed version of a module?

PLUS discontinued printing modules in December 2022 as all modules were moved to the new eLearning format. Due to the nature of this eLearning format, module content cannot be printed – except for handouts and job aids, which can be downloaded and/or printed.

How much do modules cost? How long do they take to complete?

The cost and time it takes to complete an individual module varies.

Are there waivers available for any modules? 

Yes, Modules 2 - 6 can be waived - but only if you meet certain criteria.

Review waiver criteria

If you meet the waiver criteria, purchase the waiver and follow the directions provided in your confirmation email. Your waiver will be reviewed, which can take up to 5 business days. If your waiver is approved, the corresponding designation requirement will be marked as PASS in your Education Program dashboard, and you will not need to complete that module. 

Note: You should not purchase a module waiver and the module itself – only purchase the module waiver if you meet the criteria.

Do I still have access to a module after I’ve completed it?

Yes – modules that have been completed are still available here in the PLUS Learning Center for your review. 

Do I have to take any exams? 

Yes, there is an exam component required for each module except Module 1: Fundamentals of Liability Insurance. Both the module and its corresponding exam component must be completed to satisfy the requirement for a designation or certificate program.

The exam format and how you complete it depends on whether you have a CE-eligible module or non-CE eligible module. See Should I purchase a CE-eligible module or a non-CE eligible module? and How are exams formatted? below for more information.

Should I purchase a CE-eligible module or a non-CE eligible module? 

Both CE-eligible and non-CE eligible modules satisfy PLUS designation and certificate program requirements as long as both the module and its corresponding exam component are passed.

When choosing between the two, the main question you should ask is:

Keep in mind: When purchasing a CE-eligible module, a separate exam registration will be required. This exam must be proctored by and completed with our testing partner, Prometric, within 365 days of purchase. See How are exams formatted? above for more information about exam formats.

How much CE credit is a CE-eligible module approved for, and how do I get it?

CE credit approval varies by CE-eligible module and state. These approvals are subject to change based on module updates and/or state insurance license department audits.

To receive CE credit for your CE-eligible module, you must:

1. Complete the module in the PLUS Learning Center
2. Pass the proctored exam, and
3. Submit a CE Request Form to PLUS
This can be done prior to taking your proctored exam with Prometric but no later than 5 days after completing your exam. PLUS will process your request once your passing grade report is received from Prometric. Requests submitted more than 5 days after completing an exam cannot be processed in accordance with state insurance department regulations.
