How do I take an exam?

How you take your exam will depend on whether you need Continuing Education (CE) credit for your state insurance license.

• If you need CE credit: You will need to purchase a CE-eligible module package. This package includes the module in the online eLearning format and a registration for the corresponding proctored exam (can be taken either in-person at a testing center near you or remotely online from the comfort of your home or office). You will need to submit a PLUS CE Request Form separately within 5 days of passing your exam in order to receive CE credit.
• If you do not need CE credit: You will need to purchase a non-CE eligible module package. This package includes both the module and lesson exams all in the online eLearning format. You can take the lesson exams as many times as necessary to pass.

I completed exams under the old 5-part RPLU designation program a long time ago. Do I get any cross credit towards the current RPLU program?

Exams based on the original 5-part RPLU program were discontinued January 1, 2009. RPLU students who were not able to complete the designation under the old program are automatically given credit for corresponding exams under the current program.
