The North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI) requires that individuals complete an approved and mandated pre-licensing education course. FTCC’s program is offering the following training program to effectively prepare students for success in the field!

Course Outline

  1. Human Resources Development (HRD) courses:  Students must successfully complete the following to qualify for entry into the Pre-Licensing courses.
    1. Working Smart (24 hours) is designed to provide job-seekers with the soft skills necessary to be successful and productive in the workplace.  The training consists of five modules including self-awareness, self-management, work ethic, communication skills, and problem-solving skills.

Following successful completion of the Working Smart Course and obtaining the Career Readiness Certificate, students will take three pre-licensing insurance courses, taught by a DOI approved Instructor.
