220 Agents license

I took a 240 hour course at Hillsborough Community  College for this license which is multiple lines of insurance and passed the test the first time.  I  continued the required continuing education courses as required at the time of holding this license.  Since I was told that the license was not requirement in my position of Senior Underwriter as I did not communicate with customers in my day to day job duties, I did let the license expire.  That was due to my decision to stay with this Company from beginning to end with this position, therefore not wanting to solicit new business as an agent and to remain as this Underwriter with the stable Company I was working for.
