For 2021:
AHIP is made up of 5 modules. If you have taken AHIP in previous years, you are not required to read modules 1-3. You must, however read the 4th and 5th modules. Starting this year, there are 20 review questions at the end of each module. Every agent must take all 5 quizzes. Take the quizzes as many times as you need to. Your answers do not count toward your grade. When you finish each module quiz, you will receive the correct answers to review. It is very important to pay attention to these questions, as many of them will be used on your AHIP final test. It will help if you download the modules and use them for a study guide.
