In an effort to make learning more intuitive for students whose first language is Spanish, A.D. Banker & Company is offering Life and Health Web Classes in Spanish. The first class will be March 14-15.

These fast-paced prelicensing classes are taught by a Spanish-speaking instructor via the web. In these classes, instructors explain key testable topics and answer student questions about course content that is relevant for their exams.

This new web class is used by many as an introduction to insurance concepts, while others use it as a review of testable content already studied. Many are finding it helps to jump start their study so they can become exam-ready quicker and increase their scores.

Life insurance web classes start on Thursdays, and Health is every Friday. Classes begin at 10:07 a.m. CST (8:07 a.m. PST, 9:07 a.m. MST, 11:07 a.m. EST) and end at 3:30 p.m. Included in every Web Class is our interactive online course, a Web Class Workbook, and a free repeat of the Web Class if you need an additional review. For best results, testing is recommended to occur no more than 14-21 days from the beginning of your study.
