“Well, I first went with Kaplan for my licensing, was not getting through it. Thanks to my Manager for getting me in the AD Banker program, passed my test on the first try! Thanks so much, I did recoment they stick with this instead of Kaplan!”

“Great format and presentation. Wish there were more options for Life and Health agents for courses that are shorter in duration i.e. more 1-2 hour options.”

“I wish classes were longer as it seems that the instructors were rushing through class by just reading the workbook and focusing on explaining the topics and discuss questions. Also to have the ability to speak/talk to the instructors so you can easily express your questions or concerns.”

“This was the best and most hassle-free continuing education site I have ever used for my insurance C.E. requirements. Will definitly use it again.”

“I feel that this vendor lacks detailed information, the videos are EXTREMELY boring, and there is no life to them, I like to watch and hear videos, but the videos offered by ADB are not it. They should make them more animated, it will help keep people engaged. The way they bulk some content in a chapter is tedious. I would rather have the bigger chunks separated into a lot of shorter ones. Wish there was more time for tutoring sessions/more sessions than 2.”

“AD Banker was very easy to use and affordable, and I also IMMENSELY appreciated them extended my course access for a couple of weeks to get me ready for my Series 7 exam. I passed!”

“It got me ready for the state test and I would say the prep questions are more difficult than the actual test questions but in my opinion that makes you better prepared. The only slight criticism is you have to be a self-starter and be diligent in taking the test and modules over and over to prepare yourself.”

“it would be better if questions were asked same way as the actual SIE.”

“I don't feel like AD Banker properly prepares for the exams. In regards to the SIE and Series 6 although they provide you with enough info to piece it together on your own. With that being said with Series 63 I have never felt like I had wasted time than finishing that course. It is taught so poorly and just feels like a dictionary telling you the difinition but doesn't go into detail, describe concepts, break it down or anything at all. The webinar was probably even worse than the class because I went in there with the hopes of getting a breakdown so I could receive some clarity on certain topics but instead the instructor just read off of slides for 5 hours without answering questions until the break. The only positive I can say about AD Banker is instructor Brett Gross who was one of the biggest supports when it came to my first 2 exams and taught the material properly and answered all questions.”

“I enjoyed this style of learning compared to other study materials I have used. But I did find myself answering questions that I felt I did not see ANYWHERE in the course material and for those I had to rely on testing enough to know right from wrong”

“Preface: I passed SIE, Series 6, and FL Life Insurance and Variable Annuity exams on the first try using A.D. Banker. Previously, I obtained a BBA in Finance from Florida International University and am in my third year of being employed in the financial industry in a banker role. Here is my feedback: 1. For SIE and Series 6, your Zoom lecture model is out-of-date. There does not need to be live lectures with mandatory attendance every day for 4 to 4.5 hours a piece. Pre-record lectures and imbed them within your courses by chapters covered at the very least. Let there be a playback speed feature. Reasons: This allows students to go at their own pace and review specific topics/chapters that they are struggling with. It's more efficient and effective. Possible objection: What about questions that students have about content? Continue with the tutoring sessions. Let students bring their specific questions to you. 2. SIE only needs to be 3 weeks long. Week 1: read entire book. Week 2: Go through all recorded lectures. Week 3: Review - Read chapters again or rewatch lectures. Take exam. 3. Series 6 needs to be 3 weeks long not 2. Yes, it covers less content, but the content goes deeper into SIE covered content and the exam is much harder. Should have same schedule as SIE. 2 weeks was rushed and had I not had a strong financial background already, I am not confident A.D. Banker studying alone would have gotten me to pass within only 2 weeks of studying. 4. State life insurance courses: Give people a physical book. Reading online is proven to be less effective for the average student. Why would you not give a printed book like you did with SIE or Series 6? Unlike Series 6 and SIE, I found the time frame for the state licensing exam fairly reasonable. 5. Don't tell students not to use outside resources to pass the exam. I used Investopedia.com the entire time I used A.D. Banker to freshen up on certain concepts/terms I didn't understand/know throughout the training. I relied heavily on my BBA in Finance and 2+ years of banking experience to connect concepts and learn.”

“Overall, I have enjoyed learning with ADB. I only have a few criticisms I could make. I did fail at my first attempt of the SIE. I believe this was my fault for not controlling my behavior and attitude going into the test. I had a panic attack while going in. This being my second round I have noticed a few things I wished was different than the first time. There was a webinar instructor I had the first time, and he did not do a poor job. But I felt as though he was just reading through the slides provided to him. This second instructor while more relaxed at speed is doing an outstanding job at answering questions. Making this fun and interesting. I have also noticed some discrepancies with the exact details of some learning materials within the webinar and book. Otherwise, a great job is being done by AD banker!”

“I would not recommend AD Banker to someone who is starting the licensing program. The information that is provided is very vague, and the chapter test, along with the comprehensive exam is very repetitive, with not many new questions. I had to buy an additional source from the one that was provided. If it wasn't for Kaplan it would have been much more difficult.”

“I'm happy about the level of training and availability of the training online to help me further understand the facts. The classroom style audio with the facilitator was great too and added reassurances. I was a first time go at this training and was a big confidence booster.”

“It definitely helps but a bit too simple and general. The real test is pretty much more difficult.”
