Examination Study Materials

Kansas does not have a pre-licensing education requirement. This means that you can take the licensing examination without purchasing exam preparation study materials or participating in an in-person or online exam study course.

For applicants who are interested in purchasing insurance examination preparation study materials and/or enrolling in in-person or online courses, organizations that offer examination prep courses may be found online. Neither the Kansas Department of Insurance nor Pearson Vue specifically endorses any particular study material or school.
