GOLD COAST now offers the 60-Hour Qualification Course for Surplus Lines 1-20 Agents.  Gold Coast offers a week-long class enabling students to complete the pre-licensing requirement quickly.  

By definition, a “Surplus Lines agent” is an individual licensed to handle the placement of insurance coverages with unauthorized issuers and to place such coverages with authorized insurers as to which the licensee is not licensed as an agent.  What this means is that if a customer needs an insurance policy that insurance issuers in that state are unwilling to write a policy for, whether it be because of risk or for any other reason, the customer would need a Surplus Lines 1-20 agent to go to out of state issuers and find the policy that their needs.

Gold Coast is offering this course to teach the information needed to pass the state exam and be a successful Surplus Lines 1-20 agent.  By getting this license, agents widen their marketing and income horizons in the non-admitted field of insurance.
