I attended ECU’s P&C pre-licensing education course in June and was able to quickly pass all 4 exams to obtain my license. I passed 3/4 of the exams on my first attempt, and likely would have passed all 4 on that attempt had I followed the course recommendations more closely. I took my last exam the very next day that was available and passed comfortably. The instructor that taught my class, Tom, was both knowledgeable as an instructor and as someone who has had decades of experience in the industry. I came in without enough knowledge to even be a well-informed consumer with regards to my own insurance, now I am fully licensed in Property and Casualty, and will be returning to ECU for my Life & Health pre-licensing classes as well as any future continuing education.
Tom is extremely professional and an excellent teacher. He’s very patient and has no problem helping people answer questions. I highly recommend his school.
Educational Concepts is always convenient for Insurance CE. I refer all of my local advisors here and the online options are available to fit into a busy calendar
Tom took at rather boring subject (Ethics) and made it interesting. I learned some new things and he gave great examples of real life Ethical issues. I would highly recommend.
Tom always does a great job explaining the materials and real life scenarios of situations.
Have been getting my licensing and continuing education from ECU for many years now. I find it very convenient, reasonably priced education units and can order everything you need from their online portal. If you have any questions or concerns just pick up the phone and call in for assistance. ECU, you make it easy!
Educational Concepts has been the only business that I have utilized for my licensing renewal. I realized this past purchase that I have been paying the same price each time. That was a great surprise and further secured my loyalty with you all. Thank you for the easy ordering process and for not increasing the costs onto your customers.
Easy registration and access to online class. Instructor was efficient when going through material and responded to questions promptly. Would definitely use Educational Concepts again.
For over twenty years the best classes and the best instructors and staff for passing all your licensing exams. Tom and his staff are amazing!
Best receptionist for answering questions, and assisting with enrolling in courses. Easy, affordable, and a person that answers the phone! WIN WIN!
Friendly and very professional. Highly recommend to anyone that has CE needs.
My experience was good….instructor was knowledgeable and helpful in answering questions.
Haven’t taken the test, yet….studying and hope to take it next week.

Great service–I was in a bit of a jam and needed a very quick turnaround on some material as well as processing. ECU did a fantastic job of taking care of me.
Educational Concepts offers many courses for your Continuing Education. Ethics courses are included. The office staff is very. Available and willing to help check the CE credits needed and to confirm courses available to meet these requirements. There are choices to do these in person or online at times convenient for you
Tom is great and I’ve used Educational Concepts for CE and ethics requirements for almost 20 years now. No need to try anything else.
Great class! Gets down to the necessary information needed to know to pass exams!
Great class on zoom I have been going here for alot of years I do prefer sometimes in person but this seems to workout. Also he is very knowledgable and brings up experences in this business thanks gene
Very informative class. The instructor takes the time to answer all the questions you have to the best of his knowledge which is great when you’re new to the insurance business. I highly recommend taking the classes here for Pre-certification or CE and the Receptionist has wonderful customer service.
I know this class is the reason I passed. He really helps you learn the material needed. Thank you so much for your help!!
Great learning environment. Super friendly. The secretary here is one of the nicest people ive personally ever met. You couldn’t ask for a teacher who’s more knowledgeable about insurance than Tom Ripperda. In addition, I’ve talked with others who had great experiences with other instructors at Educational Concepts Unlmtd as well. Whoever your teacher, they will be committed in assuring you are ready to pass your licensing tests.
I love , love , love educational concepts!! They are all so nice and welcoming. Using them for my CE’s was super easy. I recommend them to everyone I know.
Never thought a two day property casualty insurance class could be interested, but it was. The experience and real life examples to make the concepts relevant made the course easy to follow along with and understand
The best customer service. I know agents can definitely appreciate how smooth the process is through this company. Pass my renewal test on first attempt no in direct questions this was amazing. Thank you so much!
I took the webinar for my insurance license and passed. Everyone I dealt with where super helpful and went out of their way to make sure I passed and got me the information along with congratulations! I was told that in class is better and invited by my teacher to sit in on his class. I feel like if I need help they would gladly help me succeed! I would tell people in the future that in class would be a better choice if you live close. But they also worked with me on the webinar also. Great school and very helpful.
I am a repeat customer of both virtual (self study) and in person classes. I find them to be easy to download and content is worthy. I will continue to use ECU in the future.
They are easy to work with and very organized. Patricia is always upbeat and helpful.
Great provider. Helped me at each step of the way with personal care. Would highly recommend them to every licensee
Mr. Ripperda does an excellent job on going through the testable material for the Life and Health exam. I particularly found the License manual and the test prep questions extremely useful to passing the test.
Compared to other companies, they are far more superior. If you really want to know your stuff. Take these classes IN PERSON. They do offer online as well(I have not taken anything online from them)but from doing other classes online, I suggest the In person. The instructors have years of knowledge and are eager to help you! I have taken two classes from them. I was able to obtain my Life, Property, and Casualty Lines of Authority to my License on the first try. Lots of studying however paved the way to success. Thank you everyone at ECUI!
Requirement stinks, but Educational Concepts is great. People are either ethical or they’re not. Can’t be taught.
I took the property and casualty course (in class) and I found it to be very informative and beneficial. The instructor was fantastic. I would highly recommend using their services.
My experience with Educational Concepts online CE class was great. They emailed my completion certificate the next day. The whole process was simple and I will definitely use them again for my CE requirements!
Educational Concepts is very easy to use from registration to the online courses to them submitting the completion certificates. Tom and team do a great job! Highly recommend!
Outstanding experience with Educational Concepts Unlimited! Called in after hours one evening and Tom answered the phone to share that there was an ethics webinar the following day. Signed up on their website right away and followed up with his delightful secretary the next morning to confirm I was able to attend the training. The mandatory 3 hour was was informative and entertaining. Thanks!
Tom was very easy to understand, and his class helped me pass on the first try!
Have used them for years for continuing education. Great place and very quick to report.
I took my property,casualty,life,and health classes here and passed my state exams all first try. Very informative classes with people who know what they are talking about. Also Patricia that works here is a ray of sunshine! Recommend these classes for anyone looking to get licensed in insurance!
I have been using Educational Concepts for the pass 11 years, and I love this program. This classes are always very good and staff is grat.
I have used Educational Concepts for years for all of my insurance training and licensing, for me and my team members. Their service is outstanding!
I have used Educational Concepts for the past 12 years. The staff is like family! Patricia is amazing and Mr. Ripperda is an amazing instructor! Keep up the great work! I look forward to working with you for many years
Educational concepts was exceptional when it came to scheduling a class. You can do in person or zoom and the instructors are educated in the field to provide examples in the real world
Tom Ripperda was very knowledgeable and gave good explanations and examples to help us apply what we were learning. I felt well prepared for the exams.
