| Administering body | Colorado Division of Insurance — exam delivered by Pearson VUE The handbook's steps send candidates to a Pearson test center; it describes no online-proctored option. Resident applicants must complete pre-licensing training before testing: Regulation 1-2-5 sets 50 hours each for Life and for Health, including 3 hours of ethics, 3 hours of general Colorado law and 4 hours of line-specific Colorado law. Training is valid for one year, and the exam must be passed within that year. Source: Pearson — Colorado Insurance Licensing Candidate Handbook (July 2026, #120600) (2026-09-22) |

| Questions | There is no combined exam; the two exams differ. Life: a general part of 50 scored plus 5 pretest questions and a Colorado part of 30 scored plus 5 pretest questions. Accident and Health: a general part of 50 scored plus 5 pretest questions and a Colorado part of 30 scored plus 6 pretest questions. Pretest questions are not identified and do not count.

| Time limit | No combined exam — the handbook's exam list gives the Life (01) and the Accident and Health (02) exams “2 hours” each What we read and found nothing in: Pearson — Colorado Insurance Licensing Candidate Handbook (July 2026, #120600) (2026-09-22) |
| Passing score | Not published by Colorado Division of Insurance / Pearson VUE The handbook says raw scores are converted into scaled scores that “can range from 0 to 100”, that the passing score was set by the Division with Pearson, and that the scaled score is not a percentage of questions answered correctly — but it does not print the passing score itself. A candidate who fails must wait 24 hours before booking a retake; passing scores are valid for one year.

| Fees |
The handbook lets a candidate take up to two exams in one session for this single fee, so Life and Accident and Health together cost the same as one. Its fee table, marked effective April 1, 2026, also lists a $44 resident licence fee per line of authority, but no fee schedule on the Division's own website could be found to confirm it, so it is not listed here.

| Languages offered | English · Spanish The handbook states that Spanish versions of the examinations are available on request when booking, and that a candidate taking the Spanish version can switch between Spanish and English at any time during the exam. Candidates whose second language is English may also request extra time. Source: Pearson — Colorado Insurance Licensing Candidate Handbook (July 2026, #120600) (2026-09-22) |
