    Even as a o/o you would receive huge insurance discounts

    Companies need it for their records not a big deal besides how you going to get reimbursed for your schooling without proof.

    @Alaska76 The insurance discount is a consideration for sure. As a new entrant I went with Progressive @ $1mil/$100k with some additional elected coverages and low deductibles and my first year premium is $9055.00. I know some have lower rates but I know some have posted that their first year under new authority was considerably more. My coverage is for interstate with HM, class A.

    The Alaska testing is just like in my State. I expect that computer program is pretty much standard.

    Got a printer? Photoshop? If no experience companies require training certificate to meet demands of insurer.

    People ask for it, but the school I went to almost 13 years ago is out of business.

    So Even If I Have it, how is it verified?

    Being a new driver, you're going to want it. Once you're 5 or so verifiable years in with a good record, no one will care.
