Q: If I have a criminal history, can I still get a Florida Insurance License?

A: Although Webex Training will automatically be set up when you join a webinar course, you can save time by setting up Webex Training, on Windows or Mac, before the session. Chromebooks cannot be used for webinars because the VOIP (Voice Over IP) sound does not come through.
