The 2-20 General Lines Agent License is the highest level of licensing for a FL Insurance Agent. The license enables the agent to sell all lines of insurance, except Life Insurance, which requires a separate license.
The license may be achieved by:
1. Taking a 200 hour pre-licensing course and passing the state licensing exam, or;
2. Obtaining the 4-40 Customer Service Representative license and working full-time for one year as a 4-40 CSR. After satisfying the one-year work experience, the candidate may then take the UCF/Florida Insurance University 4-40 to 2-20 Conversion Course, which is 40 hours, rather than 200 hours. Having passed the conversion course, the student is then eligible to take the state licensing exam.
NOTE: The University has a 4-40 licensing course that excuses the student from taking the state exam for the 4-40 license. It is called the Registered Customer Service Representative Designation.
