Title Course

THE ACADEMY’S TITLE INSURANCE PRE-LICENSING COURSE


Experience Matters!

You may attend these classes as a self-study option.

The State of Maryland requires anyone who perform closings for a title company to obtain a Title Insurance Producer’s (TIP) license.  This includes employees of a title company, as well as independent contractor "mobile notaries".  The latter are called Title Insurance Producer Independent Contractors (TIPICs) under Maryland law.

In short, in order to perform closings for a title insurance company, you will need your Maryland Notary Public commission, as well as your Maryland Title Insurance Producer’s license.

The Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA) issues title insurance producers’ licenses.  The Academy’s Title Insurance Pre-Licensing course was written by attorney Ned Livornese – “The Title Professor”, and has been approved by the MIA.  Completion of the course allows you to sit for a 100-question state title insurance pre-licensing exam.

The Academy’s class is offered in two formats:


As a live, on-line Zoom.com course offered attorney Ned Livornese.  It is taught in 4 evening classes from 5:15 pm – 9:15 p.m., for a total of 16 hours of classroom time. 

​

The next Live Title Insurance Pre-Licensing Classes will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, September 11 and 12, 2024, and Wednesday and Thursday, September 18 and 19, 2024.

​

Students must attend all four sessions, and be able to communicate and be present online (with camera) for all sessions.

You may also attend these classes a self-study course with 4 modules for a total of 16 hours of recorded videos. For this option, you will receive a recorded presentation from one of the live classes described above.  This option allows you to attend classes at your own pace and complete your studies around your own schedule. However, attendance at the live course is always highly-encouraged!

​

Whether live or online, each of the 4 instruction sessions includes 150+ pages of written materials created by Ned Livornese in .pdf format.  Completion of the course requires you to pass 4 quizzes with a total of 100 questions, and a 100-question final exam at the end of the course.  A 70% passing rate is required of all quizzes and the final exam. 

​

NOTE: YOU MAY TAKE THE COURSE LIVE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WOULD LIKE FOR UP TO 12 MONTHS, AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!

Upon completion of the Academy’s live or self-study courses, you will receive a Prometric Test Eligibility number, which will allow you to take the MD state licensing exam to become a Maryland Title Insurance Producer. The state exam consists of 110 total questions taken in 2 hours or less.

 

HOW IS THE ACADEMY OF NOTARY AND TITLE INSURANCE DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE WHO TEACHES MARYLAND TITLE INSURANCE PRE-LICENSING CLASSES?
The bottom line is that Maryland Title Insurance Pre-Licensing classes cover a lot of very difficult subjects, including the following:

  • Title Insurance Law;

  • Real Estate Law;

  • Trust and Estates Law;

  • Corporations, LLCs and business law;

  • Bankruptcy Law;

  • Maryland laws and regulations regarding title insurance;

  • Federal laws regarding title insurance;

  • How title insurance companies work; 

  • And much more.

  • ​

Unfortunately, the hard truth is that pass rates on the Maryland Title Insurance Prelicensing Course can be quite low, depending upon which course you take.

So before committing your time and precious funds to any course offering Maryland Title Insurance Pre-licensing education, ask yourself:  Is really worth it to waste weeks of your time and spend your hard-earned money without giving yourself the best-possible chance of passing the state exam?
