Connecticut requires a state-approved prelicensing course (20 hours).
Agent Cloud is not a state-approved prelicensing course, so it won't meet that requirement. To meet it, we recommend XCEL Solutions. Use partner code Life2025 to get it for $50. You don't have to buy Agent Cloud. Many students add it for extra practice, plain-English lessons and the simulated exam.

Heads up
Things people miss in Connecticut
#1 Monitored Final Exam
Self-study prelicensing must conclude with a monitored final exam and an Affidavit of Personal Responsibility.
#2 Late Renewal Penalties
Missing a renewal deadline results in significant late fees, and lapsing beyond one year requires retaking prelicensing and the exam.
#3 Exam Verification
The application portal verifies exam results before allowing the license application to be submitted.
