The Challenge

After taking on the position of Learning Development Administrator at Family Security Plan, Nicholas DeBiase faced a challenge with the insurance prelicensing program. The existing program exhibited subpar pass rates and low levels of agent engagement, primarily due to the absence of personalized learning resources and inadequate follow-up practices. Candidates struggled to pass their state exam on the first try, highlighting the need for a process overhaul.


"Our original prelicensing training was reading-heavy. That's just not the learning style anymore. Agents were going into the program just to get a paycheck and not actually progressing through the content. Agents were struggling to pass their tests on the first try." - Nick Debaise

The Solution

Recognizing the need for a comprehensive revamp, Nick implemented a series of strategic changes, including daily check-ins with candidates, the integration of ExamFX's innovative learning platform, and the utilization of tailored resources such as bite-sized content and key facts within ExamFX's Elite Learning platform to enhance agent engagement and retention.

Nick leveraged the Elite Analytics Candidate Management Tracking platform to track agent progress, identify learning gaps, and personalize training sessions for maximum impact. By collaborating closely with the ExamFX team and receiving valuable insights and suggestions, Nick fine-tuned the program to align with best practices and industry standards, resulting in a significant improvement in pass rates and overall agent success. Through his dedication to continuous improvement and a proactive approach to training, Nicholas successfully transformed the pre-licensing program, establishing a new standard for training excellence at Family Security Plan.

Enhanced Learning Experience

By incorporating ExamFX's video catalog, quizzes, online flashcards, practice exams, readiness exam, and study calendar into the learning process, agents experience an engaging learning process tailored to their needs.

ExamFX's platform flexibility allows Family Security Plan employees who wish to join the sales team to study at a slower pace, earning their certificate within a timeframe that suits them.
