More information

About the LLQP Exam


The LLQP Exam Information Guide provides information you need to know about exam registration, scheduling, preparing for exam day, and taking the exam.

 

The LLQP exam is open-book, and during exam sessions, examinees can access the standardized exam preparation material on an electronic tablet. It is the examinee's responsibility to review the user guide and video prior to the exam date, as instructions will not be provided at the exam session.

If you have further questions after reviewing the information in this section, please contact us.

How to Register for the LLQP Exam

Registration for the LLQP Exam is available through the Insurance Council's online portal. To access exam registration, you will need to login with a portal account.

*Please note that we are transitioning away from printable exam registration forms (.pdfs). After November 1, 2020, we will not be accepting emailed copies of the forms and all exam registration will be through our online portal. 

If you already have a portal account, or have previously written the LLQP exam in BC, you can log into the portal with your user name and password.  You can then select "Register/Manage my LLQP exams" from the main menu. 

First time registering to write the LLQP exams with Council? You will first need to create a portal account here. Please note, you will need to enter your legal name exactly as it appears on your government issued photo ID. You must also add a Residence Address to your account.
