What they’re saying

“Over the years, I've taught insurance at several institutions before purchasing the Insurance School of Southwest Florida and rebranding it to the Insurance School of Tampa Bay. In many schools, once a student passes the final exam, they're essentially left to figure things out on their own. Here, we require students to review their study prescription with an instructor before they take their State Exam. The results have been outstanding.”
