What is OTL?

An (Other Than Life) OTL license is required if you want to be an Insurance Agent whereas a RIBO license is if you want to become an Insurance Broker.  

An Insurance Agent works directly with only 1 insurer representing and selling their products.  An Insurance Broker works at a brokerage representing and selling products from multiple insurers. 

One isn't necessarily "better" than the other - which course/exam you should take depends on where you want to work and which license the job requires.

Why insurance?

Whether you want to sell home, auto or business insurance, this is a great industry to make a career in - you're helping protect people from financial ruin, it's recession proof and its relatively high paying.  Payscale.com says that most insurance brokers in Ontario earn a salary of $48,462/yr.

To become an insurance agent in Ontario, you must first pass the OTL exam.

"The quality of this learning course is unmatched. This course provides everything you need to pass the RIBO test and more. If it wasn't for this course I would not have got the e-mail today saying I am now a verified RIBO member. Not only is this course very user-friendly and easy to use, my mentor, Jack, answered all my questions I had with almost immediate responses even at ridiculous hours. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to get into the insurance broker industry."

-Aaron L (Billyard Insurance Group), Ontario

"The course is set up well and easy to follow and understand. And I'm grateful that you're always available for help if needed. There weren't any surprises, your course covered everything I would have needed to know. You were such a great help over the course and I have you to thank for passing."

"The course is designed well for me to go through as it's online and I can listen to your presentation rather than studying the book which makes me feel sleepy :). My exam went well today, the PNC online course was very much helpful. I could even write case study for 10 marks correct. [UPDATE: I got my exam results today. I got 85%, thank you again on your help.]"
