General Insurance Licensing Exam Prep: Free Diagnostic Access

Free, one-week access to CCEC's diagnostic mock exams for the two Ontario general insurance licensing exams: RIBO Level 1 (brokers) and OTL (agents). Take the diagnostic for your exam, see where you stand before your exam date, and see your results by area. No fee, no lectures and no scheduled sessions.

Who this is for

Access to these mock exams is for people getting licensed to sell car, home and business insurance in Ontario. In everyday terms, that means future general insurance brokers and agents.

Is this exam for you?

• Insurance broker (RIBO Level 1). You work for a brokerage and offer policies from several insurance companies. Licence: Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario (RIBO) Level 1. Exam: RIBO Level 1.
• Insurance agent (OTL, general insurance agent). You are sponsored by an insurance company and sell its auto, home and business policies. Licence: general insurance agent licence from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA). Exam: the OTL Agent's exam.
• Common job titles: insurance broker, insurance agent, personal lines broker or agent, insurance sales representative.

Not covered:

• Life, health, disability and critical illness insurance. These need the LLQP exam, not the RIBO or OTL exam.
• Other provinces. Alberta and British Columbia mock exams are planned and are not open yet.
• RIBO Level 2 and Level 3 (management) exams.
